New Delhi: The advance reservation period for railway tickets has been reduced from 120 days to 60 days, effective November 1, CNBC-TV18 reported, citing sources.
In September, the Railway Ministry said it was launching a “special” ticket-checking drive during the festive period to deter ticketless travel, as per a PTI report.
While no reason has been provided by the Railways for this change, it is expected to potentially increase ticket availability closer to travel dates. Besides the official ticket booking partner IRCTC, train tickets can also be booked on third-party platforms like Makemytrip, Paytm, and Rail Yatri, among others.
In the case of some intercity day trains, the ARP is shorter. Moreover, the Railways allows an individual to book tickets for only up to six passengers on one requisition form, provided that all passengers are travelling to the same destination and on the same train. An alternative facility provided by the Railways is the tatkal scheme, which allows passengers to book train tickets on short notice, typically available for travel within a day or two.
