Indian Railways revamps reservation chart timings
Indian Railways is shaking up its reservation process to help you plan trips with fewer surprises.
Now, if your train leaves between 5am and 2pm the reservation chart will be ready by 9pm the night before.
For late afternoon or overnight trains (2 pm-5 am), you'll know your seat status eight hours ahead instead of just four.
TL;DR
More time to make backup plans
This means waitlisted passengers get earlier updates and more time to make backup plans—especially helpful if you're traveling from smaller towns or remote areas.
Plus, Indian Railways is working on a major tech upgrade by December, promising way faster bookings and a smoother, more user-friendly experience for everyone.
