Indian Railways is set to reduce the advance reservation period for train tickets from 120 days to 60 days, effective November 1, 2024, according to reports by CNBC-TV18 and TOI. This change means that passengers will be able to book train tickets through the IRCTC portal only up to 60 days before the train’s scheduled departure.

The new rule marks a shift from the current policy, which allows bookings up to 120 days in advance. Sources indicated that the change is part of an update to Indian Railways’ ticketing regulations, with the aim of enhancing service efficiency.
