Now it is necessary in the train ticket booking, know how this black marketing will end:

News India Live, Digital Desk: IRCTC Rules: There has been a very important and good news for those traveling by train, which has completely changed the rules of booking tickets! Now if you book a train ticket, then a particular thing has become necessary, and that is OTP (One-Time Password). Yes, the Railways has taken a big step to make its system more secure and to stop rigging. Now your train ticket will not be booked without OTP. So let’s know what you should know about this new rule!

You will remember that often there was a problem in getting the train tickets in the festive season or on special occasions. Many agents or unauthorized people used to book a lot of tickets together, due to which the common man had to get upset and had to buy tickets at expensive prices. This new rule has been brought to end this problem of the railway and to make the system more transparent.

How will this new OTP rule work?

Now whenever you book a train ticket through IRCTC website or app, you will get an one time password (OTP). This OTP will be sent to the mobile number which will be connected to your Aadhaar card, and which you have also linked to your IRCTC account. Until you enter that OTP correctly, your ticket will not be confirmed. This simply means that if you were booking tickets by using fake ID or booking tickets in the name of others, then it will be impossible now.

This step of railway is considered very strong. Only real and needed travelers will get its benefit. Now black marketing agents or people who make a dent in the system, will not be able to book several tickets simultaneously. This will increase the availability of tickets and everyone will also increase the possibility of getting tickets. This rule is also very important from the point of view of security, because it will make the booking process more reliable.

So, next time you book a train ticket, make sure that your mobile number is connected to Aadhaar and IRCTC account, and you are also ready to get OTP. This short process will be very helpful in protecting you from long queues and fraudsters
