Rlys goes back to 60-day advance booking window

The Ministry of Railways has reduced the advance ticket booking window on Indian Railways from 120 days to 60 days, with officials citing operational efficiencies and increased convenience for passengers.

According to an order issued by the railway board, the 2015 provision allowing a four-month (120 days) advance ticket booking window has been eliminated. "With effect from November 1, the advance reservation period (ARP) will be 60 days (excluding the day of journey), and bookings will be processed accordingly. However, all bookings made up to October 31 under the previous ARP of 120 days will remain intact. Cancellations of bookings made beyond the 60-day ARP will be permitted," the order stated.
