E-Ticket by Railways with details




Box 1 (Red): The Passenger Name Record (PNR).  This is a unique ten-digit number printed on the top-left corner of your ticket and is very important, especially if you've booked in First AC Sleeper/First Class Non-AC, or if your ticket is in the RAC/waitlist.  It is this number you will have to enter on the Indian Railways website or Erail to check the status of your ticket.  It is always a good idea to note down the PNR numbers of your tickets; in the eventuality of you losing your ticket or it being torn, providing your ticket's PNR number to railway officials will make it far simpler for them to verify that your problem is genuine.

Box 2 (Green): Mentions your train's number and name.

Box 3 (Orange): The class of travel of your ticket.

Box 4 (Purple): Displays your origin and destination stations as well as your date of departure.  You will also see boxes labelled "Boarding" and "Resv Upto"; these will usually be the same as your "From" and "To" stations.

Boxes 5 (Yellow): This section tells you when your train leaves your origin station and reaches your destination station.  In this case, the train leaves at 11.30 am on the 23rd of September and reaches at 11.49 am on the 24th of September - a massive journey of 19 minutes!

Box 6 (Blue): Displays the total fare of your ticket in figures and words.  Remember that the fare displayed is for the whole ticket, not per passenger.

Box 7 (Pink): Details of passengers travelling.  Unlike PRS tickets, e-tickets mention the passengers' names, ages and genders.

Box 8 (Lime Green): Ticket status, coach and berth details.  If your ticket is confirmed, it will say CONFIRM (it should ideally be "CONFIRMED", but for some reason it isn't), followed by your coach number, seat/berth number and seat/berth type.

Box 9 (Dark Blue): Tells you whether the ticket was booked from a personal or an agent's account on IRCTC.  If you've booked a ticket from a travel agent and this section says that the ticket is booked from a personal ID, this can be problematic...
