From which date will Indian Railways be required to extend insurance coverage to tickets booked at railway station counters following the Supreme Court’s order?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
October 27, 2026, is the date from which Indian Railways must extend insurance coverage to tickets booked at railway station counters, following a Supreme Court order issued on October 6, 2026. The directive aims to provide offline ticket passengers with insurance benefits similar to those available to eligible passengers booking tickets through the IRCTC website or application. Under the existing railway travel insurance scheme, coverage includes ₹10 lakh for death or permanent total disability, ₹7.5 lakh for permanent partial disability, and ₹2 lakh for hospitalisation expenses due to injuries. The Railway Board is responsible for implementing the directive.
