The Railways stated on Monday that people can now purchase 24 train tickets in a month on the IRCTC website and app if their user ID is linked to Aadhaar, and only 12 tickets if their user ID is not linked to Aadhaar.
The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) had previously permitted consumers to book six tickets per month if their account is not linked to Aadhar, and twelve if it is.
“To facilitate passengers, Indian Railways has decided to increase the limit of booking maximum 6 tickets in a month to 12 tickets by a user ID which is not Aadhaar linked and the limit of booking maxi mum 12 tickets in a month to 24 tickets by a user ID I which is Aadhaar linked and that one of the pas sengers in the ticket to be booked is verifiable through Aadhaar,” the ministry said in a state ment.
Officials said this will be helpful for frequent trav ellers as well as those using the same account to book train tickets for family members.
