In a fresh passenger friendly move, the railways has created a new facility to book more than six tickets under the bulk booking quota by linking your Aadhaar ID and mobile number for booking tickets. 

Southern Railway (SR) has issued a statement saying that in order to incentivise the passengers for linking their Aadhaar ID and Mobile Number for booking of tickets, the present monthly ceiling of 6 tickets per individual user on the IRCTC website has been increased to 12 tickets. The benefit would be available only for individual users whose accounts are verified through Aadhaar ID and one of the passengers in the ticket to be booked is verifiable through Aadhaar.
