Now the passengers won't have to go through a lot of hassle for reservation if you want to book the entire train or a coach. The railway is giving the option of booking a whole train for marriage processions and pilgrimage.
The method of obtaining a group ticket from the railways has recently been streamlined, making it incredibly simple to reserve a complete train. Now passengers can make their reservations at their nearest railway station.
According to reports, to book a train, you can use the IRCTC website as well. It is to be noted that, 30 per cent extra money is to be paid on every ticket for group bookings.

Apart from this, the passengers will have to deposit the fixed amount in one lump sum, which will be returned on completion of the journey. This amount will not include service tax, GST, and other taxes. You will have to pay the tax separately.
The passenger will have to pay the charges for the group bookings considering their need. To get a rough idea Rs, 50,000 is to be paid for one coach. However, on booking a train with eighteen coaches, the amount becomes Rs 1 lakh. The taxes will be added later.
