What is difference between E-ticket and I-ticket in IRCTC?

Image
By

Hello there, this question, “What is difference between E-ticket and I-ticket in IRCTC ?” must have come into your minds, when you were booking your train ticket, and got to choose an option from the drop-down list below:

Now, In layman terms, let us look into what these tickets are:

  • e-ticket: It is an online ticket which you book using your IRCTC account and then you get a reservation confirmation by an SMS. You just have to produce your original I-card before the TTE.
  • i-ticket: It is also a sort of online ticket for which you pay the charges online, and then your ticket is delivered to your address by courier or speed post.

In short, we can say that you just purchased a PRS ticket online and saved yourself from the hassle of standing in a queue at the reservation counter.

  • And now, you might be wondering about the difference between these tickets:
  • You can book e-tickets until the last day of your journey, and you get the reservation details immediately via SMS.

However, you need to book i-tickets atleast 3 days before your journey as they need to be delivered to you.

  • Similarly, e-ticket being an online ticket you can instantly cancel the ticket by logging in to your IRCTC account and the money would be refunded to your bank account.

However, for an i-ticket you would need to queue up at the reservation counter and they would cancel the ticket for you just like an ordinary PRS ticket. But here the catch is that you had paid for your ticket online, and hence, the money would be refunded to your bank account.

Upon reading until now, you all must be wondering that why choose an i-ticket even if an e-ticket seems more beneficial, let me tell you why…

When you choose to book an i-ticket, you need to pay INR 40/- as courier fee. But you get a PRS ticket, which means that even if your ticket is wait-listed after the chart has been prepared, your ticket is not cancelled. So, you can choose to travel just the way you did with your PRS (counter ) tickets.

Unlike this your e-tickets would get cancelled, if they remain wait-listed…

This is where your 40 rupees make a lot of difference…

These were the basic differences between i-tickets and e-tickets.

Hope this helps you…

Thanks…

Bawana Depot is the most stupid Depot in Delhi

By
Hi friends,           :Its real confession from heart: Today i wanna talk about a DTC bus depot-Bawana Depot.This place is totally ridiculous and i am promising myself that i will try not to go that hell place.I am criticizing that place after seeing the Bawana Depot and their lazy and rude workers.I have to go there for issuing DTC bus pass after some months but those people are totally stupids,idiots,arrogant (in Hindi totally chootiya). They do not understand the problem of anybody,they only just need money,beauty. If you are a boy,they will talk to you rudely and if you forget only one little thing ,then they flatly say "NO" and send him back without understanding any thing. If you are a girl,,the seniors workers/Old men/Buddhas talk very politely and patiently but here condition is that you should be very gorgeous and beautiful.But if you are not,then same thing will happen like boys. Those people are never looked like a government workers and they ar

Why is Facebook banned in China?

By
Facebook has banned in China because Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook posted his picture on his Social Media while he was Jogging in soggy Beijing. I came to know about this when I was reading about the Facebook Business Model in Marketing Management: Indian Cases, a book contains case studies of various Businesses. One of his posts caused a ban on Facebook in China. This post showed China and it's Capital in a disparaging light. This portrayal would create a negative image of China and its environmental policies. Further, because it was a Western who was seen jogging in the Smog-filled environment, it created a complicit negative comparison between China's and the Western World's Living. Finally, Zuckerberg was seen as an Outsider with no moral authority to comment on another Sovereign nation. And this, China has further tightened their restrictions on internet freedom in terms of Rules and Regulations in China. Later, the CEO of Facebook proposed providing a localized versi

Spend more time with your friends and family. 6. Being in a toxic relationship. There's no point in dragging a relationship where the other person hardly puts any effort. Save your time, efforts, dignity and walk away. 7. Worrying about things not under your control. Why worry about things that you cannot control in life? Will your worrying solve the problem?
