Yes, most people know that according to the rules of the Railways, only 6 train tickets can be booked in a month with one user ID. Actually, this will be possible only when your Aadhar number is linked with IRCTC ID.
Actually, recently the government has made some changes in this matter so that you can book up to 12 tickets in a month. Aadhaar verification was not necessary for booking 6 tickets in the first month. You will continue to book 6 such tickets without Aadhaar verification.
With Aadhaar, the government has given a separate facility to book 12 tickets in a month.
