Book Train Tickets & Check Train Availability in Indian Railways

Someday back I got an E-mail from one of the blog reader regarding How to proceed for Payment while booking Indian Railway Train Tickets Online?

After replying to him in detail, I thought about writing a Short Guide with useful links regarding How to Carry out Reservation and Check for Train Availability in Indian Railways Online!

The main advantages of carrying out Online Reservation with the help of this short guide mentioned in this post are as follows:

• If someone is living in Remote Area, but has got an Internet Connection at his/her nearest locality he can book Train Tickets instantly without waiting in long queues at the nearest local railway station. Though an ATM-cum-Debit Card (Like SBI ATM Card etc.) must be there with him/her.
• Foreign Tourists visiting India can carryout Train Reservations themselves (if they wish to travel certain specific cities in India by Train), without paying extra commissions to any travel agency/travel agents.

Follow these Simple Steps for Carrying Out Online Train Reservation in India:

1. First of all Clear your Browser Cache using CCleaner – Yes! It’s necessary.

2. Now navigate to Official Reservation Website of Indian Railways i.e. IRCTC. If you don’t have an account there, click Signup and enter all details ACCURATELY. Make sure that the E-mail Address you are providing is active and completely accessible.

If you already have an account over there, simply login with your Username and Password.

3. If your login is successful you will be redirected to Plan My Travel Page and you can see following form:
