05:23 | I am not going to show the number of the ATM card that i have. |
05:27 | You have to Enter the 16 digit number that comes on your debit card and then credit card expiry date and then CVV number. |

06:21 | The moment i do that i get the message given here. |

06:36 | I have to type it twice. This is to ensure that i created the password correctly .This will prevent typing mistakes. |
06:45 | Remember you have to create this password only once. |
06:48 | From now on you will use this password with your debit card to confirm it, let me submit . |
07:00 | I get the message Comgratulations!the ticket has been booked. |
07:06 | Note that all the information about the ticket are also given including the PNR number. |
07:13 | Which we will have to follow up to see whether our wait listed ticket gets confirmed before we begin the journey. |
07:21 | We are now looking at the automated email sent by IRCTC the ticket details are here. |
07:29 | You can take a print out if you wish, let us go back to the slides. |
07:36 | I have come back to the slides what to do next? |
07:39 | You can take a print out of the ticket . |
07:42 | Wait listed ticket has to get confirmed before you travel. |
07:47 | The print out taken while wait listed is good enough. |
07:51 | You don't have to print it again. |
07:53 | If the ticket is already confirmed their are no difficulties. |
07:58 | How general is the procedure that i have shown in this tutorial. |
08:03 | There could be minor variations in different ATM cards. |
08:07 | The method is similar for credit card, online bank transaction is similar. |
08:14 | But the overall procedure is identical in all the methods . |
08:20 | To enter card on account information |
08:23 | To enter the pasword some need a temporary code sent to your mobile phone. |
08:31 | The next question is should one buy E-ticket or I-ticket. |
08:36 | First we will begin with E-ticket one can buy this at the last minute also. |
08:41 | One needs a printer or a smart phone however, no worry about losing it. |
08:48 | If you lose it, we can always another print out. |
08:51 | You need identity proof at the time of travel however, |
08:55 | In case of I-Ticket it will be sent by a courier of course you have to pay for this about Rs-50. |
09:03 | You should have 2-3 days for postal delivery |
09:07 | The delivery is not available for all towns and villages. |
09:11 | The cancellation can be done at ticket counters only. |
09:15 | OF course you don't need an identity proof if you travel with an I-ticket. |
09:21 | What is an identity proof ? |
09:22 | Any government issued card with photo it could be an; |
09:26 | Pan card |
09:27 | Election card |
09:28 | Driving license |
09:29 | or a passport it could be any of these . |
09:33 | I have now opened a website. That explains it, one of these with your photograph has to be carry. |
09:41 | Let us go back to the slides, |
09:43 | There are concessional rates available. |
09:46 | The list inside is given here. Let us visit this site now. |
09:55 | I have return to the slides, Senior citizens gets about 40% discount. |
10:01 | Who is a senior citizen? Men it is' 60 years and above, for women it is 58 years and above. |
10:09 | One needs the proof at travel time for any concession. |
10:15 | What to carry during travel ,if you book an E-ticket any one proof of your ticket and E-copy in your smart phone or a print out of the ticket and an identity card |
10:29 | Or take the i-ticket. |
10:32 | In case of I-Ticket as mentioned earlier, no identity proof is required. |
10:37 | I have the following usefull tips for you . |
10:40 | Please book in advance. |
10:42 | Book even if the chance of travel is small. |
10:46 | You can always cancel the tickets you will lose some money if you cancel however |
10:51 | this may be better than not having a ticket at all |
10:55 | You cannot buy a ticket in the last minute . |
10:57 | Book when the IRCTC websie is fast. |
11:01 | Typically mid afternoon or late night may be fast. |
11:06 | Avoid 8 to 10AM if you can. |
11:10 | In the next tutorial we will discuss how to manage the tickets booked through IRCTC. |
11:18 | How to view past booking. |
