How many tickets can be booked on the IRCTC app?

There are mainly two things that one has to keep in mind when it comes to booking a ticket on IRCTC. As per IRCTC rules, one user ID can book only 6 tickets in one month. Each ticket can have a maximum of 6 passengers in it. Emails from IRCTC include the Terms and Conditions about the number of bookings that can be done. One can go through these Terms and Conditions on the IRCTC website as well.

If one has to book more than 6 tickets in a month, there is another way provided by the IRCTC. IRCTC ticket booking gives you the option of booking more than 6 tickets in a month with the help of the Aadhar card. If the person who holds the User ID has his Aadhar linked to the IRCTC site along with its KYC done, they can book more than 6 tickets in a month. They will be able to book 12 tickets in one month.
