How to book railway ticket IRCTC through mobile SMS

Indian Railways has continuously endeavored to improve the ease and access of  ticketing. The e-ticketing initiative of Indian Railways has been one of the most passenger-friendly initiative of Indian Railways.

Steps to book railway ticket /tatkal through SMS:

First: Register your mobile number with IRCTC as well as your bank. The Bank  will provides you MMID (Mobile Money Identifier) and OTP (one time password) for  authorization of payment.

Second: After getting the MMid and OTP, type the train number, destination, journey date, class and  passenger details like name, age and gender and sent to 139 or 5676714.

Third: On receiving the SMS, you will receive transaction ID and then make payment through sending another SMS by typing PAY followed by the transaction ID, MMID as received from the bank and password.

Fourth: On successful booking of ticket, message will be sent to the user by IRCTC which  will suffice as valid authority to travel along with photo ID card in original.

Please note: The SMS scheme will not be available during 8 am-12 pm for booking ARP/tatkal/general tickets. There will be no need for internet at any stage - booking, payment, cancellation etc.
