The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) offers the facility of making online bookings for trains, hotels, catering services, flights, holiday packages, and other such services.
With an enhanced internet connectivity over the years, IRCTC has developed its website to become more user-friendly. Gone are the days when a passenger had to stand in long queues at railway stations just to get a train ticket. Travellers these days are able to make reservations, and also modify them with just a click.
All they need to do is to get themselves registered on IRCTC, and create a login ID and password in order to access the website. Upon successful registration as an IRCTC user, an individual can book e-tickets, make reservations in tatkal, check train status, train routes, and modify existing reservations.
The best part? The e-ticketing facility and user creation on the IRCTC website is absolutely free of cost! All that a user needs is a valid mobile number and E-mail ID.
