Want to book confirmed train tickets for Diwali and Chhath Puja 2025? Here are key tips

Indian railways have recently implemented a reservation rule for 60 days.

Some of the largest festivals like Diwali and Chhahath Puja are around the corner. This means that numerous passengers throughout the country will soon reserve their journey for their hometown. However, it is very difficult to buy railway tickets approved during the hurry of the festival. But don’t worry: Indian railways have previously reviewed the reservation rules and issued certain suggestions to help you. Here are some useful tips that can increase your chances of getting an approved train ticket.

What are the best tips to reserve approved train tickets?

Indian railways have implemented a reservation rule for a 60 -day pre -reservation, so passengers can only allocate their tickets until only 60 days before the journey date. Previously, train tickets can be reserved until 120 days ago. Here are some important tips to help you buy approved train tickets.

• The booking window on the same day, that is, two months before the journey date.
• A few minutes before the booking starts, log in to the official IRCTC website.
• Use the “Alternative Trains” option that recommends existing seats on other trains of the same route.
• To prevent any payment problem, keep the balance enough in your IRCTC wallet.

If you cannot get a ticket directly from your starting point to the destination point, you can choose a break journey as a last resort. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, doing so can help passengers reach home on time in the most intense festival season.

When will Diwali and Chhath Puja 2025 be celebrated?

Diwali will be celebrated on October 20 and the Chhath Puja Festival will start on October 25th. While the railways are expected to operate special trains during this time, passengers who have previously reservations will have an approved seat advantage. This will help to avoid last -minute delays and discomfort.
