making bulk booking head of the group or principal of college or school request Chief Reservation Supervisor in writing to permit such booking giving the reason of group booking. The CRS permits bulk booking for only one third of the available quota on that time. After getting permission from CRS passenger can book the tickets on designated window. All type of concession can be availed in bulk booking. The most important facility in bulk booking is facility of NAME CHANGE. Name change is permissible for 10% of total strength of group without the hurdle of family relation. This booking can be done 89 days in advance only.
Hope i had included every feature of this booking. E & O E
