New Delhi: In what could be a setback for people travelling by train, Indian Railways has now limited one ticket per person, when booked online, during peak hours. The booking session will expire after the user has booked one ticket.
The restriction, which will be applicable while booking of e-ticket between 0800 hours and 1200 hours has been imposed to prevent touts from cornering tickets through single-user logging facility.
However, this restriction will not be applicable while booking onward journey or return journey e-tickets. The restriction will not be applied on defence booking under warrant.
“There will be a restriction of only one booking in one user login session in e-ticketing and forced logging out of the user before another booking for all users including IRCTC agents,” said a statement issued by the Railways.
