Railways ticketing rules: Emergency quota rules tightened; same-day requests barred
Indian Railways has revised its emergency quota (EQ) guidelines, mandating requests be submitted a day before travel to ensure timely chart preparation. The new rules specify cutoff times based on train departure schedules. These changes accompany broader reforms, including revised chart timings, Tatkal booking verification, and a new passenger reservation system slated for December 2025.
