Indian Railways News: If you are planning to travel by train, this news could be critical for you. If you intend to travel on November 29, it is essential to be aware of the ticket booking dates. According to Indian Railways’ rules, the booking window for reserved train tickets opens 60 days in advance of the date of travel. Indian Railways is facilitating ticket bookings for those planning travel in December. The booking window opens tomorrow, allowing passengers to secure their tickets well in advance. Let’s look at the details.
When does ticket booking begin?
If you are planning to travel on December 29, the booking for reserved tickets will generally commence on October 30. Passengers can easily book their tickets through the official IRCTC website or the IRCTC Rail Connect mobile app. When booking, passengers should carefully verify their travel date, train, stations, and seat preferences. Ticket availability is subject to seat capacity.
When can you book ‘Tatkal’ tickets?
If you are unable to secure a regular reserved ticket, you can opt for a ‘Tatkal’ ticket. Tatkal bookings open one day before the date of travel. Bookings for AC classes begin at 10:00 AM, while bookings for the Sleeper class start at 11:00 AM. Since the number of tickets available under the Tatkal quota is limited, it is advisable to begin the booking process promptly at the scheduled time.
