Hello Rahul
I think there is no such way to make old IRCTC account, but few days earlier i was redirected to old panel. I exactly don’t know how it happen but when i tried to book ticket through old pane then they again redirect me to new one. So its waste to make old id.
I have not yet received the mail from irctc.kindly send it fast.I have changed my phone number .please check it.
Hello Srujani
I am not the owner of Irctc, you have to apply there for re mail. You can either do it by irctc forget password option.

This is very stupid. I cannot buy a ticket because I do not have an indian mobile number. What is the point of this? I have a passport. I am simply trying to buy a rail way ticket. Buying an airline ticket between countries is not this complicated nor requires this much verifcation!
I am quite dismayed that I need an Indian phone number in order to create the profile. i tried the option as a non-indian and was told that I can scan my passport and send it to them and they will send me the mobile-phone code in an email. nothing …. tried contacting them in an email, asking about the support ticket # … nada …. they gave me another ticket #. tried contacting them again, i got another support ticket ID……. I wonder how these guys even conduct their business …. and BTW, i am a paying customer ….. why am I not surprised …..??? this is the state of affairs of our great nation ….. and we are supposed to be technical experts …. who can not even get a simple online booking site work seamlessly …. shame … .to say the least …..
Can some on tell me if there are agents … or people in the hotels that can book a railway ticket …. when I left our great country, we used to have agents who used to take some fee to book the tickets …. I wonder if we still have those ….. I might as well go and pay someone to buy me a ticket because our IRCTC has made it impossible for me to buy ticket online …… kudos to our leaders who seem to make things more complicated purposely so that the parallel economy can prosper ….. at least someone has made things the way they are. and it is by design …. I am not surprised !!!
Yes there are agents those book train tickets
I have old account but it is not recognizing it. Password error. Not creating an account with same email id and mobile no. I have only one mobile no.
