Why Choose

Registering your travel agency as an IRCTC-authorized travel agency to sell railway e-tickets is very beneficial. Some of the benefits are listed below.

• Access to other services: As an IRCTC registered agent, you can sell other services offered by IRCTC, like holiday and tour packages, air tickets, etc. You can earn additional income from there as well.
• Unlimited Tickets: As an authorized IRCTC agent, you can book unlimited tickets with your agent login, as compared to only six tickets per month in your personal IRCTC login ID.
• Recognition: Registering with IRCTC as an agent gives you recognition in the travel industry, as this can be the first step for any certificate for any travel agent. Many travel consolidators get your contact information only through the IRCTC database and can offer you other travel services such as air tickets, holiday packages, and so on.
• Signage: Putting a display board in front of your office or shop can attract more customers to your business, so if you are a registered IRCTC agent, you can display the signage board with an IRCTC log in front of your office premises. This will increase customer confidence in your business.
• Legality: The very first point is that you must register with IRCTC as an agent if you are selling the tickets because it is not legal to sell train tickets by using a personal user ID. If we get caught selling tickets using a personal user ID, then this may lead to up to 3 years of imprisonment and a fine that may extend to ten thousand rupees.

To register as an IRCTC authorized agent, you have to share the below documents with your principal service provider.

1. PAN Card: Be sure that this PAN number is not registered with any personal ID on IRCTC.
2. Aadhar Card: Both the mobile number and email ID must be updated in the Aadhar number, as you will need an OTP for the verification. Also, this Aadhar card should not be registered with any personal ID on IRCTC.
3. Office Address Proof: You have to provide office address proof where you want to book the tickets. If you are on the rented premises, you can provide the rent agreement or any utility bill for the premises.
4. Residence Address Proof: You have to provide one residential address as proof of where you are currently residing.
5. Mobile Number: This mobile number should not be blacklisted or registered in the personal ID with IRCTC.
6. Email ID: The email ID must not be registered with the IRCTC personal ID.
7. Registration form: This prefilled form will be shared by the principal service provider with you. You have to print, sign, and send back the scanned copy.
8. Declaration form: You will get the declaration form in your email. You have to print, sign, and send back the scanned copy.
9. One Photograph: One passport-type photo has to be shared; the same can be clicked from your mobile.
10. IMEI Number, Device ID, or Video Verification: You have shared the IMEI number of the mobile phone on which you are using your registered mobile number to get the OTP for login. The second method for login is that you can also choose a single device for login; in that case, an IMEI number is not required. Another login method is a USB-based dongle in which your digital signatures will be stored so that you can log in to any device using that dongle.

Yes, IRCTC agents can book both opening and Tatkal tickets, but there will be a 10-minute blocking time on both. It means that the agents can book the tickets only after 10 minutes of the opening time of the booking window.

This is to be noted that IRCTC agents cannot book the tickets through their IRCTC agent login in the morning between 08:00 – 08:10, 10:00-10:10, and 11:00 -11:10
