Indian Railway General Ticket Rules: Every day crores of people travel by train in India. The train is such a means of travel that people of every class can afford. While some people travel in reserved coaches according to their budget, some people travel in unreserved coaches.

To travel in reserved coaches, booking has to be done in advance and it includes options like First AC, Second AC, Third AC, AC Chair Car, Sleeper, and Second Sitting. At the same time, the general coach comes in unreserved coach.

Railways will make these changes in the rules of general tickets.

To travel by general coach, you do not need to buy tickets much in advance. You can travel on the train by reaching the railway station directly with a general ticket. Every day a large number of passengers travel in general coaches. But now the railway is thinking of changing the rules of general tickets, which will affect crores of passengers. Let us know what changes the railway is going to make in the general ticket and what effect it will have on the passengers.

Recently, due to the huge crowd of passengers at the New Delhi Railway Station, a stampede-like situation was created. Many people lost their lives in this accident caused by chaos at the station. After this tragic accident, the railway administration is planning to bring new rules to streamline the general ticket system more.

Names of trains can also be recorded in general tickets.

Let us tell you that at present, passengers with general tickets can easily change trains. However, under the changes to be made in the coming time, the names of trains can also be recorded in general tickets. This means that once the name of the train is recorded on the ticket, passengers will not be able to change the train.

Validity of General Ticket

Do you know that the general ticket issued by the railways comes with validity? According to the rules of the railways, the validity of a general ticket is only three hours. That is, if you do not start your journey within three hours after buying a general ticket, then that ticket becomes invalid or non-valid. This means that after three hours, travel cannot be done on that ticket.

The purpose of the railways behind introducing these changes in the rules of general tickets is to ensure the safety of passengers and make the journey more comfortable. However, the official announcement of the new rules can be made soon by the Railway Ministry.
