Indian Railways’ online ticket booking system IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) has now become even easier and convenient for the passengers. All train ticket bookings are done by IRCTC, so whether you book over the counter or book online, every ticket passes through the IRCTC system. Many times people try to book tickets immediately, but are not able to get a seat on time. If this happens to you often, then you can increase your chances of getting a ticket by making a special setting in your IRCTC account.
If you regularly travel by train, creating a “Master List” in your IRCTC account can be a useful option for you. In this list, you can already save all the important information of the passengers—like name, age, gender, address, mobile number and identity card. When you go to book a ticket, there is no need to enter new information every time, just select the passenger from the list and complete the booking instantly. This feature proves to be very useful especially for Tatkal tickets, where every second is precious.
The process of creating a master list is very easy. First of all visit the official website of IRCTC irctc.co.in or open the mobile app. If you don’t have an account, register first. After logging in, go to “My Profile” or “Master List” section and select the “Add Passenger” option. Next, fill in the passenger information—name, age, gender, address, phone number, and ID number. Linking Aadhaar card is mandatory, so select ‘Link Aadhaar’ option. After verifying all the information, click on the ‘Save’ button. You can add information of up to 12 passengers to your account. The entire process is completed in 5 to 10 minutes.
Please note that at the time of Tatkal ticket booking (10 am) the system may get slow sometimes, hence always keep the master list updated. This feature is especially useful when you need to book a ticket quickly and don’t want to waste time typing passenger details.
There are many benefits of master list. This saves time while booking tickets and makes the process easier. No need to re-enter information every time, just select an option and proceed. When booking Tatkal or Premium tickets this process can be completed quickly, making it easier to avoid waiting lists. This feature is also very useful for those traveling with family or group. 12 general and 4 tatkal tickets can be easily booked every month. Additionally, pre-verification of identity cards also increases security.
Overall, IRCTC’s “Master List” feature is extremely useful for time-saving, safe and stress-free travel. If you frequently travel by train, you can speed up ticket booking by activating this setting.
