On the occasion of Vigilance Awareness Week-2016, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Limited (IRCTC) gave the following tips so that people become aware of and prevent cases of cheating/corruption:Â
While booking e-tickets
- While creating your own personal ID at www.irctc.co.in, please give correct details like name, address, mobile number and e-mail address.
- If booking through agent, book through (IRCTC) authorised Retail Service Providers (list available on the website). Always insist on receipts for the full amount made by you. Â For overcharging or any other irregularity by the service providers lodge a complaint (along with copy of e-ticket and cash memo) with agentcomplaint@irctc.co.in.
- Ensure that agent gives your mobile number while booking so that you get an SMS of ticket details.
- Never purchase or sell e-tickets generated from personal user IDs. It is an offence.
