Log onto www.irctc.co.in for All Your Railway Ticket Needs
IRCTC is the official website of Indian Railways. The www.irctc.co.in provides a variety of information such as the railway timetable, schedules of each train, fare details, seat booking facilities, cancellation options, and many more. Any passenger wishing to make a reservation has to create an ID with his/her username and password. Once they do this, they can access any information on the website and make the desired bookings and cancellations.
Indian Railways database is always up-to-date. If there are any changes in train timings, the railway authorities make sure that the information is available to the passengers promptly. Once the passenger decides the date of travel, they can simply login to the IRCTC website and book the desired train for the time that suits the passenger’s convenience.
Once the passenger books the ticket, he or she will get a confirmation in the form of a ticket, which is either an e-ticket or i-ticket. The form of the ticket required depends upon the passengers too. They can pay using the credit card or debit card. E-ticket has two types of confirmation, either via SMS or E-mail. In both the types, the passenger will have to carry a valid photo ID proof to produce it to the TTR on the train.
At any point of time before the travel if you want to cancel the existing ticket, you can do so online. Once again, you have to enter the website with the username and password. On entering the site, you are provided with a history of your bookings. On clicking the PNR number of the desired date of journey, you can click on the “cancel ticket” and that will fulfil your request instantly. However, you will get the refund amount only after 7 working days from the date of cancellation.
E-ticket cancellation is possible online whereas to cancel the I-ticket, the passenger has to go to the reservation office. Apart from these services, Indian railway website allows its customers to check the PNR status too. If they want to know the halts that the train takes at each station, the website also provides that information for each train.
A person can make only up to ten bookings for a particular month. After the tenth booking, the website does not allow him/her to book further tickets. This is good in a way because it helps to avoid bulk bookings, which is a disadvantage to all the others who might try to reserve a ticket. The website www.irctc.co.in even gives the train codes, train names and the short form of the station names for the information of the passengers. This is the only website that helps the passengers in easy reservation of their tickets at any time of the day and any day of the month.
