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 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 .

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 i-ticket and an identity card or take the i-ticket.
10:32	In case of I-Ticket as mentioned earlier, no identity proof is required.
