Railways Booking and PNR Status

So many online platforms to do your railways booking – IRCTC website, Indian Railways site, travel portals not to mention over-the-counter tickets from agents and railway station ticket counters! It is but surprising that though newer trains have been added to the list yet the passenger count is only increasing by the day. You won’t get confirmed tickets if you do your railways booking in the eleventh hour or a couple of days ahead of your departure. In such a case, IRCTC and Indian Railways facilitate the guests find their PNR Status online. A dedicated railway phone is also run to facilitate guests get PNR status over the phone and even via SMS. The process of searching PNR status online is easy.

So, how do you go about doing your railways booking at the IRCTC website? Visit the ticket reservation page. As you proceed confirm the train name and the station names displayed. This is followed by entering of personal details such as names of passenger(s), age, sex and berth preference for each. IRCTC and Indian Railways provide 30% discount on railways booking to senior citizens. Do note that in tatkal reservation no discounts are offered even to senior citizens; additional charges are levied.
