Indian Railway Reservation Rules

Many of us traveling long distance may wish to break our journey to stop over at a tourist destination. For the convenience of such passengers, Indian Railway offers  the Break Journey facility. Break Journey can be availed only after traveling  500 Kms. from the starting station. Holders of single journey tickets for distance of more than 500 kms. are allowed to break journey once for two days at any station en-route. During the break of your journey, you can stay 2 days at the intended station excluding the day of arrival and day of departure. More information about India Travel Tourism

 

Your ticket should be endorsed by the Station Manager or Ticket Collector or any authorised person at the station of break journey. This endorsement must clearly indicate the date , time  and train number by which you have arrived. For all return tickets, each half of the tickets is treated as a single journey ticket but the return journey must be completed within the period for which the train ticket is available.
