If you travel by train or are thinking of doing so, then there is good news for you. Recently it has been revealed that the advance reservation period for railway tickets has been reduced from 120 days to 60 days. Now you can book only 60 days in advance, that is, even if your travel plan is to be made after two months or less, you can easily book tickets. Let us know about this new rule in detail.

Indian Railways has changed the rules of advance ticket booking. Where earlier ticket booking used to start 120 days before the journey, this would be 60 days in advance. The new rule will come into effect from November 1, 2024. The thing to note is that the new rules for advance train ticket booking will not affect the tickets already booked by you.
