IRCTC's redesigned ticket booking website is set to offer faster bookings, seat preferences, fare comparison, multilingual support and a smoother Tatkal experience. The upgraded platform can handle over 1.5 lakh bookings per minute
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that IRCTC's new website will launch by July 15, promising a smoother ticket-booking experience. The upgrade aims to tackle issues such as Captcha delays, OTP problems, website crashes, and Tatkal booking congestion faced by passengers.
Indian Railways will launch a modernized reservation system in August, featuring higher booking capacity, faster performance and AI-powered waitlist predictions. The upgrade aims to deliver a smoother ticket-booking experience as online reservations continue to dominate railway travel across India.
RailOne brings ticket booking, train tracking, food ordering, and platform tickets into a single app, while IRCTC remains the preferred choice for reliable Tatkal and reserved ticket bookings.
IRCTC has announced a set of significant rule changes that will take effect on April 1, 2026. Within 8 hours of departure: No refund (0%) for confirmed tickets, 24 to 8 hours before departure: 50% deduction of fare, 72 to 24 hours before departure: 25% deduction.
