  1. FIrst go to the www.irctc.co.in

    Then U have to register for ur user mane and password by filling a online form

    Then u can login the web using ur id and password.

    Then U will find a form, in which u fill ur details from to date of journey, class etc.

    THen there is three options. One is e-ticket(U can take print out after booking the ticket) I-ticket( Ticket will be sent to ur address which u entered in ur log in column)

    U can book talkal also.But u can't book waiting list tickets Online.

    THen u fill find a list of trains. Check for availability and fare and route. Then enter the passenger details. In case of E-ticket enter the personal identity card (Voter id, Driving licence.. etc) Then make ur payment using debit or credit card..

    Thats all.

    HOpe u r doubt is clear.

Bank charges that are being levied by the Payment Gateways/Banks are not subject to refund in the event of cancellation of tickets by the Customer.

    12 What is an e-ticket? (e-reservation)?

    E-Tickets (e-reservation) are another innovative service provided by IRCTC, which dispenses with the need for the physical ticket to be carried for a rail journey. The user can take a print out of the reservation details and perform the journey without requiring to have the ticket delivered to him or collected.

    13 How to make an e-reservation?

    To avail this service, the user can log on to www.irctc.co.in and book his ticket on the internet just like any normal booking, and selecting ‘e-Ticket’ in the Plan My Travel page. The user has to give the photo identity card details of any one of the passengers, while booking the ticket. On confirmation of his booking, the user can take a print of the Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS) and can perform the journey with the ERS and the photo identity card.

    1. This service is presently available on these trains.

         a) 2005/2006 -New Delhi – Kalka Shatabdi Express

         b) 2011/2012 – New Delhi – Kalka Shatabdi Express

    2. At present only confirmed / RAC tickets can be booked through e-Reservation, while WL tickets can also be booked in the normal Internet Tickets.

    3. The following photo identity cards are considered valid.

         a) Voter Identity Card

         b) Passport

         c) PAN card

         d) Driving License

         e) Govt issued ID card

    At present, payments for e-Tickets can be made only by direct debit (Internet Banking, with 15 Banks) or with the Cash Card Option. Payments through credit cards are not available for e-Ticket Reservation at present. However ordinary Internet tickets can be purchased using Credit Card.

    14 Journey with an e-Ticket (Reservation)

    The passenger has to necessarily carry the same Photo Identity card as given during the booking along with the Electronic Reservation Slip(ERS) without which the passenger will be treated as traveling without ticket and dealt with accordingly. If the passenger is not able to carry the ERS but is carrying the proper Identity card as given during booking, ERS will be issued by the TTE/Conductor Guard against payment of Rs.50/- per ticket, provided if his name is available in the chart., If the name is not available in the Chart, he is not authorized to board the train.

    This Electronic Reservation Slip would also be treated as a valid authority for entering the Railway premises as for a normal ticket when accompanied by the relevant photo Identity Card.

    15 What happens if the e-ticket in case of waitlisted position?

    If, at the time of booking, the status is WL(is nether CNF nor RAC), the ticket will not be booked. The user will be given the option to replan and book the ticket as a normal Internet Ticket in WL, if he so desires. The money debited in his account for the planned e-ticket, will be reversed.

    16 How to print an e-ticket reservation slip? (ERS)

    After successful payment and booking of accommodations, the User is shown the ticket confirmation details along with a “Print Reservation Slip” Button”. On clicking the button ERS is shown with an option to print.

    The customer is also permitted to print the tickets (Electronic Reservation Slip) from the BOOKED TICKETS Link.

    He should give the ID card details to view ERS and print it.

    Hope the above information has been of help, and you need to actually do an online booking to feel comfortable about the same.
