Railways Chart Timing: Keeping in mind the convenience of railway passengers, preparations are being made for a big change. Under this, the time of making the final chart is being changed, which is now expected to be made 15 minutes before the train departure time.
Train Final Chart: If you also travel by train often, then this news is useful for you. Yes, till now the railway chart is prepared about four hours before the train leaves, which causes a lot of trouble to many passengers. If a passenger has booked a ticket in Tatkal or Premium Tatkal between the time of chart preparation and train departure, then he faces a lot of confusion. To provide relief from any such problem, the railway is preparing to make major changes in the charting rules.
Preparations to make changes regarding chart timing
Now the railways are preparing to change the timing of making the final chart. Currently, the final chart is prepared by the railways five minutes before the train departure time. But now preparations are underway to increase this time to 1 minute. The details of passengers who book tickets at the last minute are often not visible in the final chart prepared five minutes before. This causes problems to the passengers. Keeping this in mind, this decision has been taken by the railways.
A letter was issued in this regard on 20 December
Railway Board’s Director Passenger Marketing Sanjay Manocha has issued a letter to all the regional railways including Northeast Railway on 20 December and has sought a report in this regard. A reply has been sought on this by 2 January. This process will be taken forward only after 2 January. Let us tell you that till two years ago, the time for making the final chart was 30 minutes before the train’s departure. Due to this, the details of the tickets booked at the last moment used to come in HHT. But later this time was reduced to five minutes.
Many types of problems due to the charge made five minutes in advance
After this, the information of the tickets made at the last moment could not come in the hand handling terminal available to the TTE. IRCTC SO’s patron TN Pandey said that earlier there was no problem in making the chart half an hour in advance. But after the implementation of the rule of five minutes in advance, apart from the ticket checking staff, passengers also started facing problems. Sometimes the chart which is finalized five minutes ago is not downloaded in time.
