This was a major reason why this year the reservations started in the month of July.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to sources, most people have booked their tickets for the weekend that is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This early advantage has shown an increase in the bookings. This new booking scheme came in force on April 1<sup>st<\/sup> 2015. We must say that this has been quite a successful idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People have also made multiple bookings on different dates that are not sure about their travel dates. Other than this, all the refunds of the tickets will be done through the banking systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For all those who missed out this special service in the month of July can still head to the IRCTC website or to their respective stations to make train reservations for Diwali festival. The special trains are yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Railways had introduced special trains for Kawad Yatra, which was a successful plan since most of the devotees benefitted through the service. Not just Deepavali, but there are special trains for Durja Puja and Ganesh Chaturthi, which are going to be a major help for all the travellers, who go from one place to another to celebrate these festivals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1306\" src=\"http:\/\/www.travelkhana.com\/rail-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/08\/fa13bcb2ac7ef825242b3d89397f7b98_1375164748.jpg\" alt=\"fa13bcb2ac7ef825242b3d89397f7b98_1375164748\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from all this, the Railway Minister came out with another special benefit for the travellers. The differently abled passengers will have an exclusive support by which they can buy concessional e-tickets after one time registration.
