    IRCTC Next Generation Ticket Booking

    Established in 1999, IRCTC stands for Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, which is an extended arm of the Indian Railways that provides ticketing, catering, and tourism services to passengers.

    Its online ticketing platform, known as the IRCTC next generation e-Ticketing System, makes booking train tickets fast and hassle-free, helping travellers plan their journeys with ease..

    You can also book your seats using the ixigo Trains app and avail great deals. Seat availability, PNR status checking, and cancellation of tickets can also be easily done on the IRCTC-authorised app. So, avoid standing in a queue at the railway counter and instead book your tickets with ixigo.

    Types of IRCTC Tickets Booking

    • IRCTC General Booking

      General ticket booking can be done easily through the ixigo website and app. It can also be booked at the Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters. One of the key benefits of general booking is the flexibility to change your travel dates. You can reschedule waitlisted, RAC, or confirmed tickets to an earlier or later date.

    • Tatkal Ticket Booking

      Tatkal ticket booking facility enables a passenger to book a ticket one day in advance of the actual date of journey. It can be booked online at ixigo easily. Tatkal booking opens at 10 AM for AC Classes and 11 AM for Non-AC Classes one day in advance, excluding the journey date.

    • Premium Tatkal Booking

      Premium Tatkal works on dynamic pricing, i.e. passengers will be charged a higher price in case of increased demand and a lower price if the demand is less. Confirmed tickets are only booked under premium tatkal quota and could not be cancelled once booked.

    • Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS)

      The "Unreserved Ticketing System on Mobile" (UTS) is an application that allows passengers to book an unreserved, paperless ticket for journeys between any two stations. This app eliminates the need for passengers to visit a ticket counter to purchase an unreserved ticket. Once a ticket is booked, passengers can collect their unreserved paperless ticket from an automatic ticket vending machine located throughout the country.

    • IRCTC Full Tariff Rate (FTR)

      If you need to book an entire coach or train for events like tours, weddings, and parties, you can use our platform to receive discounts on Full Tariff Rate (FTR) reservations. You can register in advance, with a maximum lead time of 6 months and a minimum of 30 days. A security deposit of INR 50,000 is required for each coach booked. If you are booking a special train, you must reserve at least 18 coaches. For a smooth booking experience at an affordable price, be sure to make your reservation with us.
