New Delhi. Indian Railways has reduced the maximum time limit for making reservations. Earlier people used to book tickets 120 days in advance and start preparing for their journey, about four months in advance it was decided that the ticket was confirmed.
But now this rule has changed. Reservations can be made only 60 days in advance. After this decision of Indian Railways, a question must be arising in the minds of the people that on whose suggestion has such a big decision been taken? Let us know who is behind this decision?
From November 1, the rules regarding reservation will change. If you are also planning to make a reservation, then definitely book the ticket 60 days before the journey and not 120 days before. Indian Railways has reduced the ARP i.e. Advance Reservation Period. The new order will not affect the advance reservation period of foreign passengers. The rules for them will be the same as before. There will be no change in the trains whose advance reservation time is already less. Such trains include Gomti Express, Taj Express.
On whose suggestion was the rule changed
Dilip Kumar, Executive Director Information and Publicity, Ministry of Railways, told News18 that the decision taken by the Railways is not that of the Ministry. Passengers had demanded reduction in the time limit for reservation. Keeping that demand in mind, this decision has been taken. Indian Railways keeps taking suggestions from passengers to provide better facilities to passengers. According to the Railways, middlemen can take advantage of reservations made long ago.
When was the advance reservation time changed?

The rule for advance reservation was 120 days from 1981 to 85, 90 days from 1985 to 1988, 60 days from 1988 to 1983, 45 days from 1993 to 1995, 30 days from 1995 to 1998, 60 days from 1998 to 2007, again 90 days from March to July this year, 60 days from 2007 to 2008, 90 days from 2008 to 2012, 120 days from 2012 to 2013, 60 days from 2013 to 2015 and 120 days from 2015 to 2024
