First things first: you need the official IRCTC app. If it’s not on your phone, head to the Google Play Store and search for “IRCTC”. Download and install the app (it’s free and verified, so no third-party risks here). Once installed, open it to begin the registration process.

Register as a New User

Open the app and look for the red “Register User” option. Tap it to start your registration. You’ll see a form asking for your details—fill them carefully to avoid errors.

Fill in Your Details

  • Username: Choose a unique username (add numbers if your first choice is unavailable). For example, if “satya” is taken, try “satya1230”.
  • Full Name: Enter your full name exactly as it appears on your ID (this is crucial for ticket bookings).
  • Password: Set a strong password (mix of letters, numbers, and symbols) and confirm it in the next field.
  • Email & Mobile: Add your active email ID and mobile number (keep +91 as the country code for India).

Solve CAPTCHA & Submit

Refresh the CAPTCHA if it’s hard to read (this reduces errors). Enter the CAPTCHA correctly and tap “Submit”. You’ll get OTPs on your mobile and email—don’t skip this step!

Verify OTPs

Enter the OTP from your mobile in the first field and the one from your email in the second. Tap “Verify Email and Mobile with OTP” to complete verification.
