of internet. The only requirement is the registration on the IRCTC website. Registered users can then book tickets by sending a text-based SMS or calling on a menu-based USSD @ 139 or 5676714.
To book tickets, call or SMS on the above numbers and enter the date
of journey, class, train number and passenger details in the prescribed
format. You will receive your booking confirmation by SMS.
