If you frequently travel by Indian Railways and the ticket booking limit every month troubles you, then do not panic. You may not have the information, but actually you can book 12 train tickets in a month from one IRCTC user ID.
Recently, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) shared this information through its official Twitter handle. The tweet read, “If you are a IRCTC registered user you can now link your Aadhaar with your IRCTC account and book upto 12 train tickets in a month.”
This means that if you have linked your Aadhaar number with your IRCTC account, then you can book 12 train tickets in a month from the same ID. Earlier, IRCTC allowed only six tickets to be booked from a single account every month.
