TBM Staff - Mumbai The Indian Railways is set to reduce the advance reservation period (ARP) for train bookings from 120 days to 60 days, excluding the day of travel, with effect from November 1, 2024.
The Railways clarified that bookings made under the current 120-day ARP before October 31 will remain valid. It also stated that any cancellations for bookings made beyond the new 60-day ARP will still be allowed.
According to the official notice, the revised changes do not apply to certain daytime express trains, such as the Taj Express and Gomti Express, which have different advance reservation limits. Additionally, the 365-day advance booking option for foreign tourists will remain unchanged, the Railways said.
