Railways restrict online train ticket booking to one ticket per log-in

From now on, only one log-in will be valid for one online transaction of booking a train ticket, as per the curbs put by the railways to check the menace of touts.

"There will be a restriction of only one booking in one user log-in session in E-ticketing and forced logging out of the user before another booking for all users including IRCTC agents," said a Railway Ministry statement.

However, this restriction will not be applicable while booking onward journey/return journey e-tickets. The restriction will not be applied on defence booking under warrant.

The restriction will be applicable while booking of e-ticket between 0800 hours and 1200 hours.

The restriction has been imposed to prevent touts from cornering tickets through single user logging facility.
