The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) offers an eWallet that can be used as a payment option when purchasing train tickets. Multiple aspects of the IRCTC eWallet are free of charge, such as online wallet top-up, no dependence on a particular bank’s network, and simple payments if a ticket is cancelled. Transaction history, wallet payment history, and transaction password security features are also available on the IRCTC eWallet app.
According to IRCTC’s website, it “provides secure booking through IRCTC eWallet by requiring the entry of a transaction password or PIN Number for each booking made through IRCTC eWallet.” Furthermore, you can still use your IRCTC eWallet account to order tickets even if one of the banks listed goes down.
