Online booking of train tickets till now required you to have a credit/debit card or a netbanking facility. But that is now set to change. IRCTC is now offering Cash on Delivery on booking of train tickets online. Initially this is going to be available in around 200 cities across the country!

This has been made to reduce crowds at the offline centers and to also make it easier for those passengers who are reluctant to use digital payments or do not have access to one.
