To make train ticket booking easier for passengers, Indian Railways (IRCTC) has decided to increase the limit of ticket booking in a month. Now, a user ID which is not Aadhaar linked can book 12 tickets in a month. Currently, a user can book a maximum of 6 tickets in a month.

Earlier, the user ID which is Aadhaar linked can be booked only 12 tickets which is now increased to 24 ticket bookings in a month.  Also, one of the passengers on the ticket to be booked is verifiable through Aadhaar.
