India travels most on its railroads. Over 30 million Indians travel with IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation) every day. This is clearly India’s single largest group of travellers. At Paytm, we are bringing the entire railways network to you. Our travel marketplace will now support IRCTC rail ticket bookings.

In addition to the trusted Paytm experience, we have integrated some cool new features on the Paytm app:

IRCTC Rail Booking Stations

Any time you search for a station, there will be a list of popular and recently searched stations for your reference. This will quicken regular travel bookings, and spark more wanderlust in you.

IRCTC Rail Booking details

Never be completely at ‘Home’ again. The Rail Bookings Home screen on the app lets you view recent searches and upcoming trips. You can pick up past travel plans, and do ém better.

Paytm IRCTC Booking Travel

We have enabled one-click navigation on the Trains home screen. This will offer instant access to upcoming trip details and recently searched results.

IRCTC Rail Booking faster

Advanced traveller details prediction will prompt profile information based on your past booking history. This will let you book train tickets faster and grab that last ticket.

Bringing railway bookings on Paytm is a major leap for us as it completes the full cycle of air, road and rail ticket booking solutions available on Paytm.

In other awesome news, while the Paytm Wallet was already accepted on the IRCTC platform, we also power the payment gateway on IRCTC’s app now.
