      \textit{S. Ahlgren} and \textit{M. Boylan} [Invent. Math. 153, No. 3, 487--502 (2003; Zbl 1038.11067)] show that the Ramanujan congruences; \(p(ln+a)\equiv 0(\bmod l), l=5,7,11\); are the only one for \(p(n)\). In the present article, the authors generalize the work of \textit{J. Sinick} [Int. J. Number Theory 6, No. 4, 835--847 (2010; Zbl 1205.11112)], and investigate Ramanujan congruences for the function \(\overline{t}(n)\), which counts the overpartitions of \(n\) with restricted odd differences, and as a particular case they show that only one such congruence exists. The authors also provide two congruences modulo \(5\) for \(\overline{t}(n)\), namely \(\overline{t}(80n+40)\equiv 0(\bmod 5)\) and \(\overline{t}(80n+60)\equiv 0(\bmod 5)\). The authors also generalize Theorem \(1.2\) of Sinick [loc. cit.] to bound Ramanujan congruences for more general eta-quotients. All the results presented in the article are explained properly with supporting arguments.
