IRCTC is always in the constant search for making the transport better for its customers by providing different services.

From changes in physical infrastructure to digital infrastructure, IRCTC has been trying to make passengers experience as hassle-free and convenient as possible. It may be noted that Railways catering and tourism arm IRCTC offers a host of service aside from ticket booking.

Now adding to that, IRCTC recently revised some of its rules only to make its services better. Although a user can only book 6 tickets from one user ID in a month, IRCTC recently revised the rules and now it is possible for some users to book 12 tickets from a single IRCTC user ID in a month. According to the new rule, passengers can book online tickets 120 days prior to departure. Maximum two tickets can be booked from 1 user ID between 8 am and 10 am in a day.

You can only book 12 tickets a month if your Aadhaar is linked to the account. To complete the process, firstly click on the Aadhaar KYC option that you will find under the ‘My Profile’ category in the official IRCTC website. After this, update your Aadhaar number following which a One-time password (OTP) will be sent to your mobile number linked to the Aadhaar. You will be required to enter the OTP while verifying.

Besides, updating your Aadhaar number, you will also have to add Aadhaar number of the passenger accompanying you as per the master list. This process will also be completed through a one-time password (OTP) verification as well. IRCTC has also made online ticket booking a time-bound procedure. Users will now get only 25 seconds to fill up the passenger details. Only 5 seconds will be given to enter Captcha code on payment page.
