The Indian Railways announced on June 6 that users of its online ticketing, catering and tourism platform, the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), will be allowed to book a maximum of 24 tickets per month if a user ID is linked with Aadhaar.
“To facilitate passengers, the limit of booking tickets has been increased to 24 tickets in a month if a user ID is Aadhaar linked and that one of the passengers in the ticket to be booked is verifiable through Aadhaar,” the Ministry of Railways had said in a tweet.
Prior to the announcement, the maximum number of tickets a person, with Aadhaar-linked IRCTC user ID, was allowed to book each month, was 12. As part of the same announcement, the Railways also raised, from 6 to 12, the maximum number of monthly bookings for an individual, whose ID was not linked to the identification biometric.
