Train Ticket Booking: If you also travel by train, then this news is very important for you. Indian Railways (Indian Railways) is going to make a big change in the rules of ticket booking, which can be applicable from October 1, 2025. After this new rule, the method of booking online train tickets will not be the same as before.
Now ‘Aadhaar’ is necessary for ticket booking!
Every month millions of people book their tickets from the IRCTC website or app. But now, to avail this facility, you have to get your IRCTC account verified with Aadhaar card. In simple language, now you will be required to link your Aadhaar card with your IRCTC account.
Why is this change being done?
Railways is taking this step to make the ticket booking system more secure and transparent. There will be some big benefits with the implementation of this rule:
- Fake will be banned: Many people book a lot of tickets with fake names and IDs and later sell them in black. Due to the Aadhaar link, such fraud will be curbed.
- Agents will end arbitrary: This rule will also be tightened on unauthorized agents who make it difficult for the common passengers by wrongly booking Tatkal tickets.
- Only real passengers will be able to book: Aadhaar verification will ensure that the person booking the ticket is a real traveler, so that the needy people will get easily confirmed tickets.
What do you have to do?
If you have not yet linked your IRCTC account to Aadhaar, then do this work as soon as possible. You can complete this process in some easy steps by visiting the IRCTC website or app.
This new rule may seem a bit troublesome in the beginning, but in the long period it will prove beneficial for all of us passengers. This will reduce rigging in the ticket booking system and will increase the chances of getting confirmed tickets.
