IRCTC is set to implement a new policy that requires Aadhaar-based authentication for booking reserved general tickets, effective October 1st. This new rule will be in effect for the initial 15 minutes of the reservation window. The Indian Railways states that this measure aims to ensure genuine users can access the benefits of the reservation system while preventing unauthorized individuals and middlemen from exploiting the system. However, the existing 10-minute limit for authorized railway ticketing agents to book reserved tickets on the opening day remains unchanged. A key point of confusion is whether individuals will be able to book tickets during the first 15 minutes if their Aadhaar information hasn’t been updated.
