Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has altered its online
ticketing method, which is significant for individuals who book train tickets
online through the IRCTC website or app. Before ordering tickets, users will be
required to have their phone numbers and email addresses confirmed. Bookings
will not be accepted without verification.
