IRCTC changes rules for user IDs linked to Aadhaar, allows booking of 24 tickets

The Indian Railways on Monday announced that people whose user ID of the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is linked to Aadhaar can now book a maximum of 24 tickets a month, while those whose IDs are not Aadhaar-linked can purchase as many as 12 tickets.

Earlier, IRCTC users with their accounts not linked to Aadhar could book a maximum of six tickets, while the accounts connected with Aadhar were allowed a maximum of 12 bookings.

In a statement, the Ministry of Railways said that the move was aimed to “facilitate passengers” during the process of booking tickets.
