Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has always come up with innovative ideas for all its passengers. IRCTC believes in making every passenger’s railway journey a pleasant and enjoyable one. Sometimes we have to wait for hours because the trains are running late, or we merely need lodging close to the station so we can catch another train in a day or two. Well, here comes IRCTC with retiring rooms at railway stations for ₹25.
IRCTC’s Retiring Rooms At Railway Stations
IRCTC provides retiring rooms at some of the country’s major railway stations. Retiring rooms are lodging services where passengers can stay after or before their rail travel. They are available in double, single, and even dormitory rooms. The charges for the rooms start at ₹25 for three hours and ₹100 for 24 hours.
They also give the option of choosing between air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned rooms. You can book rooms for a minimum of one hour and a maximum of 48 hours. The facility for hourly booking is not available on all stations. You can easily book your rooms about 120 days in advance as per your Passenger Reservations System ticket (PRS).
