From April 1,2015 book your train tickets 4 months in advance

 

Now travellers can book train tickets four months in advance as the Railways has decided to extend the advance reservation period from 60 days to 120 days, with effect from April01,2015

The advance reservation period for booking reserved tickets have been extended from two months to four months now as announced in the Rail Budget 2015-16

Advancing the reservation period to 120 days seeks to check the tout menace and facilitate genuine passengers to avail the reservation facility. 

Railways is also planning introduction of ’operation five minutes’ scheme under which ticketless passengers can get regular tickets within five minutes of entering station.

Provision of coin-vending machines and ‘single destination teller windows’ will be operational at many stations shortly to reduce the ticket transaction time.
