Description: Indian Railways Lets You NOW Book an Entire Train, But It Comes at a Price Indian Railways offers passengers the option to book an entire train or individual coaches for weddings, religious tours, corporate events and large group travel through its Full Tariff Rate (FTR) scheme. The facility has recently gained attention on social media after many users discovered that anyone meeting the eligibility criteria can reserve a complete train, provided they pay the required security deposit and fare. Under the FTR system, a party can reserve up to two coaches on a regular train or charter an entire special train. A full train must have a minimum of 18 coaches, and applicants are required to pay a registration-cum-security deposit of ₹50,000 per coach. Since the minimum composition is 18 coaches, booking an entire train requires an upfront deposit of ₹9 lakh. This amount is separate from the actual travel fare, which is calculated based on the class of travel, distance, reservation charges and other applicable railway fees. According to Indian Railways, bookings can be made up to six months in advance and at least 30 days before the planned journey. The final fare must be paid in full before departure, while the security deposit is refundable after the trip, subject to deductions for any applicable charges or damages and completion of the required formalities. Special coaches can only be attached or detached at stations where the scheduled halt is at least 10 minutes, and confirmation depends on operational feasibility. The FTR scheme is commonly used for marriage parties, pilgrimage groups, educational tours and corporate travel, allowing passengers to travel together in a dedicated coach or train. Railway officials say the facility has been available for years, but recent viral discussions have introduced many travellers to the little-known booking option. Subscribe to FactTechz
