Nice post.Thanks for sharing.I really don,t know this information before your post.This is very valuable for me.
I think It’s in actuality an awesome gadget to have in my arsenal. Does somebody have an idea whether I can buy tickets through Airtel Site?
Hello,
Thanks for posting such a great information on India railways, but I think the main issue with IRCTC is the REFUND.
The refund policy is very bad, it may take more then 3-4 months even after many followups via emails and even send a written complaint to the GM of Indian Railways.. This is the only drawback, our Govt. should take some action and improve the refund policy so that customer do not face at least refund problem.
@ Bhanu Prata:-
Who knows might be the rules of the government is stipulating such a long time for the refund of the money?
@ Walls:-
No you can’t buy any tickets from Airtel Site. Airtel Site is no way related to booking the customers related tickets.
No one would be sad to spend just 40-50 bucks extra when this easy method helps in booking the tickets, but still I would suggest that online booking is far better and risk free.
