As Indian Railways continues to evolve, the IRCTC online ticket booking system has undergone a major update, impacting 30 million registered users. This information is vital if you cannot remember the last time you booked a train ticket.
With the resumption of train services after the pandemic, IRCTC has introduced new rules for booking tickets through apps and websites. As per these regulations, users need to verify their accounts before booking. Surprisingly, around 400,000 (4 million) users are yet to complete this verification process. Failure to comply could result in users being unable to book tickets online in the future.
To ensure a seamless booking experience, users must complete the verification process in a timely manner. As per IRCTC regulations, users are required to verify their mobile number and email ID before booking tickets online. This change is specifically targeted at passengers who have not booked tickets using the website or app in the last few months.
