- Indian Railway New Rules: Indian Railways is one of the largest railway networks in the world, transporting millions of passengers to their destination every day. Railways have been the most economical and reliable mode of transport for the general public of the country. But if you also travel by train daily or from time to time, then this news is very important for you.
- From July 1, 2025, some important rules of Railways are going to change, which will have a direct impact on the passengers. These changes are mainly related to ticket prices, Tatkal ticket booking rules and Aadhaar authentication. Along with this, another new rule will be implemented from July 15, 2025, which is related to the identity of the passengers.
- Let us know one by one what are these three big changes of Railways and how will they affect your journey.
- Ticket fare hike – Now traveling by train will be expensive
- If you regularly travel long distance by train, then this change can affect your pocket. Railways have decided to increase ticket fares from July 1, 2025.
- Indian Railway New Rent: According to the new fare:
- The fare in non-AC mail and express trains has now been fixed at Rs 1 per kilometer.
- Passengers traveling in AC class will now have to pay at the rate of Rs 2 per kilometer.
- However, a relief is that there has been no change in the rates of second class tickets and monthly season tickets (MST) for a distance of up to 500 km.
- But, if your journey is more than 500 km, then now you will have to pay half a penny extra per kilometer.
- The purpose of this rule is to give priority to common passengers so that genuine needy passengers can book tickets first instead of agents.
- Aadhaar OTP authentication will now be mandatory – effective from July 15
- Railways has made Aadhaar based OTP authentication mandatory to strengthen digital security and prevent fake bookings. This rule will be effective from July 15, 2025.
Under this:
While booking Tatkal tickets, passengers will now have to authenticate their identity through OTP verification.
This OTP will be sent to the mobile number linked to Aadhaar and the booking process will be completed only after entering it.
This will curb ticket booking with fake IDs and honest passengers will get better facilities.
Indian Railway: Railways says that this step has been taken to increase the security and transparency of passengers. It will also ensure that every booking is in the name of a real and authenticated passenger.
