Railways say that a passenger must also be verified from a profile basis to book tickets. Your master list will work here. - The master list is also available in the My Profile tab. Here, you have to update the master list by giving the name of the passenger and the details of the Aadhaar card.
- If a passenger’s name is already in the master list, then edit his profile and enter the Aadhaar number in the ID.
- Explain that the master list has to be updated before booking the tickets online. Only then will you be able to book more than 6 tickets.
Now you will be able to book more than 6 tickets from the IRCTC website in this way every month.
