Around 89 per cent of train tickets being booked online: Rail Minister
New Delhi, Prospective train passengers can book reserved tickets either online or through computerised Passenger Reservation System counters, and around 89 per cent of tickets are being booked online, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw apprised the Rajya Sabha in a written reply on Friday. Around 89 per cent of train tickets being booked online: Rail Minister He responded to questions regarding recent initiatives related to digital reservations and deactivation of crores of dubious User IDs by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation "With a view to curb malpractices in the ticket booking system, IRCTC has recently deactivated over 2.5 crore user IDs, as their credentials were found to be suspicious during extensive data point analysis," the Railway Minister said. He added, "On Indian Railways, the demand pattern of reserved accommodation is not uniform throughout the year, and it varies over lean and peak periods. The trains running on popular routes and convenient timings are generally well patronised. However, in other trains, accommodation is generally available." Vaishnaw presented various steps taken by the Ministry to improve passenger access to confirmed tickets, ensure transparency and proliferate digital modes. "Reserved tickets can be booked either online or across computerised Passenger Reservation System counters on a first cum, first-served basis. Presently, around 89 per cent of total tickets are being booked through online mode," Vaishnaw said. "At PRS counters, the facility of making payments through digital modes has been provided. With effect from 01-07-2025, tickets under the Tatkal Scheme can be booked through the website of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation /its app only by Aadhaar-authenticated users," he said. He said that agents are barred from booking opening-day Tatkal tickets during the first 30 minutes of the opening of Tatkal reservations. Vaishnaw stated that the waiting list position of the trains is monitored on a regular basis, and in order to cater to additional demand, Indian Railways operates special train services and augments the load of trains to generate additional accommodation, subject to operational feasibility. "Further, schemes like Alternate Train Accommodation Scheme , known as VIKALP and Up-gradation scheme have been introduced to provide confirmed accommodation to waitlisted passengers and also to ensure optimal utilisation of available accommodation," he added.

Auto mutation of properties in Andhra Pradesh from August 1
With the aim of streamlining urban governance, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has unveiled an instant auto-mutation system to automate property ownership updates during registration. From August 1, the system will be rolled out in 17 Municipal Corporations to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles and bring speed, transparency, and efficiency to property transactions. Developed jointly by the Municipal Administration & Urban Development Department and the Registrations & Stamps Department, the system integrates property registration with mutation, requiring no separate application by property owners. Once the buyer clears applicable dues and mutation fee, ownership records are automatically updated in the municipal databases. The initiative replaces the previously cumbersome manual process that involved multiple office visits, delays, and document duplication. The system supports residential and vacant land transactions, including part ownership transfers. 'Citizen-first reform' Principal Secretary S. Suresh Kumar on Friday called it a 'citizen-first reform,' noting the system's potential to enhance data accuracy, tax compliance, and urban planning. Aadhaar verification, PAN integration, geo-tagging, and electricity data syncing were among the digital features supporting the transformation. Public awareness campaigns and staff training programmes were already underway, positioning Andhra Pradesh as a national leader in urban digital governance, he added.
