IRTC Helps You Travel with Ease
IRTC is used sometimes for IRCTC which means Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation. It was introduced as a subsidiary of the Indian Railways to deal with catering, online booking and tourism. As you know, the best way to experience India is by travelling in the train.
Before pantry cars were introduced in the long distance trains, passengers used to get their lunch and dinner at specific stations that the train has stoppage during those times. Sometimes when the train runs late it reached these stations late and passengers had to stay hungry for a long time. Introduction of pantry cars solved all such problems. Now there is catering service in almost all long-distance trains. Thus, you do not have to worry about taking food or having to go without food during a train journey. In many stations there are food plazas and fast food centers run by IRCTC. It also operates non-railway catering in Indian ministries and institutes.
The online booking service of IRCTC has become very popular now. It is a very fast and cheap method to get the answers to all your queries and doubts. It is easy to book your ticket online in a few simple steps. Once booked, an e-ticket is generated, or there is the option to get your ticket by post delivered right at your doorstep. ‘Tatkal’ tickets are also available in which case you need to produce an identity proof. The booking of tickets can also be done on your mobile phone using GPRS, or by sending an SMS to the given number. Along with ticket booking, ticket cancellation and refund or PNR status check can also be done online.
IRCTC also promotes ticketing through mobile phones. By sending an SMS to 139, it is possible to get all information on trains like PNR status, arrival and departure of trains, seat availability, ticket fares, and more.
