In New Delhi, a spokesperson for the railway ministry clarified that anyone with an IRCTC account can book electronic tickets for others. This statement was made in response to rumors circulating on social media about restrictions on booking tickets with different surnames. The spokesperson stated that these rumors are false and misleading.
The railway ministry spokesperson went on to explain that tickets are booked on the IRCTC website according to guidelines set by the Railway Board. These guidelines are readily available to the public, so there should be no confusion. Furthermore, the Indian Railways allows individuals to book tickets for friends, family, and relatives using their personal user ID.
The spokesperson also mentioned that each individual can book up to 12 tickets per month, and if they have an Aadhar authentication, they can book up to 24 tickets per month. However, at least one traveler on each ticket must also have an Aadhar authentication. It is important to note that tickets booked on personal user IDs are not intended for commercial sale. In fact, selling these tickets for commercial purposes is considered an offense under section 143 of the Railways Act.
It is clear that there are no restrictions on booking tickets with different surnames, and these claims on social media are false. The railway ministry spokesperson emphasized the importance of following the guidelines and using personal user IDs responsibly. Let us all work together to ensure a smooth and hassle-free booking experience for all. This is an important step in maintaining the integrity and fairness of the Indian Railways.
