The journey of rail has become expensive from today. Fare of non-AC mail/express trains has been increased by 1 paise per kilometer and AC class fares by 2 paise per kilometer. This decision has been taken in view of the increasing expenses in front of the railway and the cost of maintenance.

What will happen with this: Railways has increased the fares of non-AC mail/express trains by 1 paise per km. At the same time, there will be an increase of 2 paise per km for AC class (eg AC 2-Tier, AC 3-Tier).

That is, if you are traveling 500 km, you may have to pay 5 rupees more in non-AC and 10 rupees more in AC. At the same time, on a journey of 1000 km, you have to pay 20 rupees in AC and 10 rupees more in non AC.

2. Tatkal ticket booking: Aadhaar has to link to IRCTC account

At the time of Tatkal ticket booking, passengers will now be required to get digital verification from Aadhaar. That is, you have to link your Aadhaar to IRCTC account. Aadhaar verified users will get OTP during ticket booking, which will be able to book the ticket by completing the verification.

The first 10 minutes before the immediate booking window opens will be allowed to book tickets, whose IRCTC account is verified by Aadhaar. In the first 10 minutes of opening the window, even the authorized agents of IRCTC will not be able to book tickets, which will stop the entry of brokers and bots.

What will happen with this: With this change, needy and right passengers will be able to get confirmed tickets. This will curb fake IDs, rigging of agents and booking of bots and it will be easy to get confirmed tickets for common passengers.

3. PAN Card Rules: If you do not have Aadhaar, you will not be able to make PAN card
