For the convenience of passengers and better ticket booking management in railways, a major change has been made in the timetable of reservation charts. Reservation charts for trains departing from morning to afternoon will be prepared by 9 pm.

The Railway Board has sent a circular to all zonal officers on Wednesday informing them about the change in the time of making reservation charts. Along with this, instructions have been given to implement the new rules as soon as possible.

Provision of creating two bar charts

There is a provision in the railways to prepare the chart twice for the information of the passengers regarding berth confirmation. The first chart was prepared four hours before the departure of the train. The second chart was prepared approximately 30 minutes to 60 minutes before the departure of the train. The railways have only changed the time of preparing the first chart. According to the new rule, the first reservation chart for trains departing between 5 am and 2 pm will now be prepared at 9 pm the day before.

The new rule will also apply to remote stations.

Railways says that with the changed rules, passengers will be able to get timely information about ticket confirmation or availability of seats. This will also give them a chance to consider other options.
