Indian Railways Cuts Booking Period to 60 Days – Major Change Starting November 2024!

If you're someone who loves planning train trips months in advance, get ready to switch gears!

The Indian Railways is pulling the brakes on long-term planning by slashing its advance reservation period from 120 days to... drumroll please... 60 days!.

Starting November 1, 2024, you'll only be able to book your tickets 60 days before your journey date.

So, whether it’s a last-minute getaway or spontaneous vacation vibes, the window to grab your tickets is getting shorter!

But wait—here's a quick heads up!If you've already made bookings under the current 120-day window before October 31, 2024, no need to worry—those are safe and sound.

“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.
