PNR
Status: Railway PNR Status, Check PNR Status
There
used to be a time when railway enquiry meant heading to crowded railway
stations and braving huge serpentine queues. Thankfully, things are not the
same anymore due to the Internet boom. In fact, the process of railway enquiry
radically changed with the launch of the websites https://irctc.co.in/ and
https://www.indianrail.gov.in/index.html. Numerous other private players soon
followed suit and now we have a world of choice to take our pick from. For
instance, reputed travel companies like ixigo.com and a host of other players offer
information pertaining to IRCTC railway enquiry in a jiffy. Besides
getting general information, one can even do railway reservation through such
websites.

Railway passengers soon will be able to book
your rail ticket four months in advance instead of two months at present. 
·        
In his Railway budget speech in Lok Sabha,
Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu on Thursday said advance reservation period has
been extended from 60 days at present to 120 days to check the rising menace of
touts. 
·        
Asked when the decision will be implemented,
Minister of State for Railways Manoj Sinha told reporters later that it would
come into force in the next fortnight. Incidentally, the advance reservation
period earlier was 120 days but was reduced to 60 days about two years back, a
step the railways had then said was initiated to also check the tout menace. 
·        
Member Traffic Ajay Shukla said advancing the
reservation period once again to 120 days would discourage the touts as it
involves more cancellation charges. 
·        
Mr. Prabhu announced introduction of ‘operation
five minutes’ scheme under which ticketless passengers can get regular tickets
within five minutes of entering station. 
·        
Provision of modified ‘hot buttons’, coin
vending machines and ‘single destination teller windows’ will drastically
reduce the transaction time, the Minister said. 
·        
For the differently-abled travellers, a special
initiative is also being launched whereby they can purchase concessional
e-tickets after one-time registration. It is also proposed to work towards
developing a multilingual e-ticketing portal. 
·        
“We will move towards crediting all refunds
through the banking system,” the Minister said. 
·        
Noting that in Central, Western and Southern
Railway suburban sections, a pilot project of issuing unreserved tickets on
smart phones has already been started, he said the facility would be progressively
introduced to all stations. Automatic ticket vending machines have been
installed at many stations.
