Since the government has taken action against fake IDs, there has been a significant drop in the number of new users added daily to IRCTC. According to reports, the number of new users added daily to IRCTC, which was previously around 100,000, has now dropped to 5,000. This is a significant decrease. This indicates how many users were accessing IRCTC through fake IDs before the action was taken, leading to tickets being booked through these fake accounts and depriving genuine users of tickets. Let's look at the information provided by railway officials.

Positive Results After the Action
According to the information provided by officials, after the implementation of a new, stricter system for establishing user identity, the number of new user IDs added daily to the IRCTC website has dropped from approximately one lakh to around 5,000. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in a press release that the Indian Railways' action against train ticket bookings through fake identities is yielding positive results. The press release stated that before the latest reforms, this number had reached approximately one lakh new user IDs per day.

3 Crore Fake Accounts
According to the information provided by the government, after the implementation of a stricter system for establishing user identity and detecting fake IDs, approximately 5,000 new user IDs are now being added daily to the IRCTC website. Officials stated that these steps have helped the Indian Railways deactivate 3.03 crore fake accounts. The minister said that 27 lakh other user IDs have either been temporarily suspended or marked for suspension due to being found involved in suspicious activities.

Instructions to Provide Local Food
The press note further stated that the Union Minister has instructed officials to ensure that the ticketing system is improved to such an extent that all passengers can easily book tickets through genuine and valid user IDs. Additionally, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has instructed officials to provide local cuisine of the respective region on Vande Bharat trains. Officials said that including local dishes from the regions whose culture and flavors are showcased during the journey would significantly enhance the passenger experience. They added that this facility would be gradually extended to all trains in the future.
