After how many kilometers of travel can you use the railway's journey break, in which trains does this rule not apply?

Break Journey Rule: Many passengers travel long distances in Indian Railways. Some trains are such that passengers stay on board for 3 to 4 days because their journeys are thousands of kilometers long. In such a situation, Indian Railways also gives the option of a journey break to its passengers, in which the passenger can stop at a station and rest and then start his journey again.

What is Break Journey Rule Service

Break Journey Rule is given to every reservation passenger by Indian Railways. According to the official website of the railways, if a passenger has a single journey ticket for a journey of more than 500 kilometers, then he can be given a break of two days on the journey route only once. However, this facility is given only for traveling more than 500 km. On the other hand, if a passenger has a ticket for a journey longer than 2000 km, then he can be given a break twice.
