Train Coach Booking Process: The Railways offers the option of booking an entire coach to transport a wedding procession to another city. Applications can be made both online and offline.

Winter has returned to the country, and the wedding season has begun. Many people are looking for a hassle-free way to transport a large wedding procession to another city. Buses can be tiresome for small children and the elderly. Therefore, people are looking for the option of booking an entire train coach.

The Railways have been offering the option of booking an entire train coach for wedding processions for quite some time, and this method proves to be particularly beneficial for wedding processions. You can book an entire coach if you wish, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free journey.

The easiest way to book an entire coach is through the IRCTC's FTR site. You can create a user ID here and enter the coach, date, and travel details. Your booking is confirmed upon payment. The process is quite quick. There's no need for an agent here.

Many people prefer to speak directly with railway officials rather than using the online process. In such cases, you can contact the Divisional Railway Manager or Station Master. Once you explain your booking needs based on your travel and the number of people in the wedding procession, they will explain the entire process and, upon payment, will process the booking.

When booking a train for a wedding procession, you don't need to provide details for each individual. The entire booking is made in a single person's name. The ticket is issued from that person's account, and they provide their documents when necessary.

It's important to note that the fare for booking an entire coach can be approximately 30-35 percent higher than a regular ticket. Additionally, a security deposit of ₹50,000 is required. This security deposit is refunded upon completion of the journey. This amount can vary depending on the date, route, and coach type.

If someone books an entire train or multiple coaches, the fare increases depending on the distance and number of coaches. In many cases, engine charges are also included. Therefore, plan ahead. Estimate the route and the city you will be traveling to, and determine the appropriate time for booking.
