Railway’s new rule regarding ticket booking! Now only 25% waiting tickets will be available in these trains

Indian Railways Waiting List Rules: Keeping in mind the convenience of passengers, the railways are constantly taking many decisions. In this series, the railways have also announced a reduction in the number of waiting tickets issued in trains.

Indian Railways Waiting List Rules: Indian Railways has taken a big step to improve the convenience and experience of passengers. According to railway sources, under passenger reforms, the Railways has decided to put a limit on the number of waiting tickets. Now only a maximum of 25 percent waiting tickets will be issued in trains, that is, the number of waiting tickets is being reduced compared to earlier.

This decision has been taken by the railways after analysing the data of passengers under the PPM (Passenger Profile Management) system. In this, the booking, cancellation and waiting pattern of trains has been understood on the basis of information received from other sources along with modern technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

Why did the railways change the rules?

Railways believes that in trains where the number of ticket cancellations is high, the number of waiting tickets will be kept relatively high. On the contrary, in trains where the number of cancellations is less, the waiting ticket limit will also be less. This step will benefit the passengers who get confirmed tickets and there will be no unnecessary inconvenience in their journey.

With this decision of the Railways, excessive crowding in the coaches can also be controlled, which will make the journey more comfortable and safe. In such a situation, if you have to travel by train, then now it will be necessary to plan before booking the ticket because the possibility of waiting will be less than before.

Train tickets will be expensive from July 1!

Train tickets are going to be expensive for the common man from July 1. According to sources, from July 1, the fare of non-AC coaches can be increased by 1 paisa per kilometer and the fare of AC coaches can be increased by 2 paisa per kilometer.

Tatkal tickets will not be booked without OTP

To curb ticket brokers, the Railways has also changed the rules of ticket booking. From July 1, 2025, users will also have to provide OTP to book Tatkal train tickets, which will be sent to the mobile number registered in their IRCTC account. OTP based Tatkal ticket booking is going to be mandatory from July 15.

Ticket booking rules changed for agents

Agents will not be allowed to book Tatkal tickets for half an hour before July 1. This will help more and more people in the system to get Tatkal train tickets.

Will you know 24 hours in advance whether the ticket is confirmed or not?

If you book a train ticket, the chart is prepared 4 hours before the train departs and it is known whether your ticket is confirmed or not… But now the railways is working on a new project. According to reports, now the chart can be prepared 24 hours before the train departs, which will give you information about your ticket being confirmed 24 hours in advance.

When does Tatkal booking start

First of all, know when you can book Tatkal tickets from IRCTC’s site. According to the rules, Tatkal booking for AC category trains starts at 10 am every day, while Tatkal ticket booking for sleeper class of trains starts at 11 am every morning.

When should you login

Let us tell you that for booking AC or sleeper, you should login 3-5 minutes before the scheduled time. By doing this, your chances of logging in at the right time without any hassle increases. Along with this, you should keep in mind that you should never login 10-15 minutes before for Tatkal booking. By doing this, your login session will expire when the Tatkal window opens.

Prepare the master list as well

Before doing Tatkal booking, you should also go to the official website of IRCTC and make a master list. By doing this, you will be saved from filling the passenger details at the time of Tatkal booking and your time to fill the ticket will also be reduced.
