    How to book the Mumbai MCO quota

    1. Carry your movement order (duty) or leave warrant / Form D to the Mumbai MCO office.
    2. Route the demand through your unit's movement cell where required, quoting the train and class you need.
    3. The MCO allots berths from the Defence Department Quota by movement priority and availability.
    4. Collect the released ticket / authority — the DDQ is not bookable directly on IRCTC.
