Customers who have registered either on IRCTC or on Reliance Mobile World will have to enter the user name and password to login. Once logged in, they have to enter their travel plan details, their ItzCash account number and its corresponding password. On submission these, the PNR number and ticket details are displayed once the booking is confirmed. Customers will get a screen on Reliance mobiles confirming the booking.

Mahesh Prasad—President Applications, Solutions and Content Group, Reliance Communications said, “Our association with IRCTC in their maiden initiative in April 2004 of offering a convenient way of booking train tickets through Reliance Mobile World has now been enhanced further with this tie up with Intrex India. Booking the railway tickets with ITZ cash cards will suit and help railway travelers across the country where credit/debit card penetration is fairly low”.
