Sub: Time limit for Advance Reservations.
Please refer to Board’s letter No. 93/TG-I/20/P dated 16.9.1997 wherein
time limit for advance reservations by trains was increased from 30 to 60 days
(excluding the date of journey).
The matter has been reviewed by the Ministry of Railways and it has been
decided to increase the advance reservation period from 60 to 90 days (excluding
the date of journey) for three months on experiential basis. The Advance
Reservation Period of 90 days will be applicable w.e.f. 01.3.2007. CRIS will
make necessary changes in the software for this purpose under intimation to all
zonal Railways as well as Board’s Office. A review of bookings made during the
period from 01.3.2007 to 30.4.2007 will be done in the 1st week of the May, 2007
to take a decision regarding continuation of this enhanced Advance Reservation
period of 90 days. For this purpose CRIS will furnish the details of booking made
during this period indicating the percentage of booking made during the 15 days
period i.e. 76-90 days in advance, 61-75 days in advance and so on.
There will be no change in the case of certain day time express trains like
Taj Express, Gomti Express etc. where lower time limits for advance reservations
are at present in force. There will also be no change in the case of the limit of 360
days for foreign tourists.
Board desire that the above change may be given wide publicity well in
advance of its implementation. Suitable instructions to all concerned may be
issued to ensure smooth change-over to the new time limit.
