IRCTC Registration: How to Create International/NRI User Account

NRI user(s) with a nationality other than Indian are required to pay a registration fee of Rs 100 + GST.

The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) offers the facility of making online bookings for trains, hotels, catering services, flights, holiday packages, and other such services.

With an enhanced internet connectivity over the years, IRCTC has developed its website to become more user-friendly. Gone are the days when a passenger had to stand in long queues at railway stations just to get a train ticket. Travellers these days are able to make reservations, and also modify them with just a click.

The best part? Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can also get themselves registered on the IRCTC. All that a user needs is a valid mobile number and email ID.

Upon successful registration as an IRCTC user, international users/NRIs can book e-tickets, make reservations in tatkal, check train status, train routes, and modify existing reservations. However, international/NRI user(s) with a nationality other than Indian are required to pay a registration fees of Rs 100 + GST (as applicable).
