The newly enhanced Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) e-Ticketing website is grabbing attention. It was only on June 9 that Indian Railways decided to revamp the e-ticketing website with various features to make train ticket bookings easier. Today, IRCTC through its twitter handle stated that about 67.4% of total reserved train tickets are booked through its website. Indian Railways has been very particular about the way tickets are booked, therefore, has removed various norms to make reserved ticket booking efficient.  
Here’s a list of rules that you should remember for booking ticket at IRCTC. 
The Railway administration reserves seats, berths, compartments, or carriage in accordance with the rules and conditions published in the Coaching Tariff. A passenger seeking reservation of berth or seats should purchase tickets from the Railway Reservation Offices/Authorised Travel Agency only. 
Advance reservations are made generally up to 120 days in advance for all classes and all trains. The period of advance reservation (ARP) is exclusive of the day of departure of the train. 
An individual can book only up to six passengers on one requisition form provided all passengers are for the same destination and for the same train.
