IRCTC Account Login and New Registration

To create an IRCTC account, open the official IRCTC website, choose Register, complete the form, and verify both your email address and mobile number. To access an existing IRCTC account, choose Login and enter the user ID and password created during registration.

Where are the official IRCTC login and registration pages?

Open {site} and look for the Login and Register options on the home page. Login is for an existing account, while Register opens the form for an individual user.

The official site should identify Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, commonly called IRCTC. Avoid search advertisements, unofficial registration services, and pages that ask you to give your IRCTC password to another company.

Use the IRCTC registration login page reached from the official home page. An IRCTC login account registration search may produce similar-looking results, so starting from the verified site is safer than selecting an unfamiliar result.

How do I create a new IRCTC account online?

IRCTC confirms that individual users need a valid email address and a valid mobile number. Have access to both because IRCTC uses them during account verification and recovery.

1. Choose Register on the IRCTC home page.
2. Create a user ID and password that meet the rules shown beside the fields.
3. Enter the account, personal, and contact information requested by the current form. Complete every field marked as mandatory.
4. Enter the security text, or CAPTCHA, displayed on the page. A CAPTCHA is a short check used to distinguish a person from an automated program.
5. Review the email address and mobile number carefully before submitting the form.
6. Confirm the details when IRCTC asks and accept the displayed terms and conditions.
7. Submit the registration, then follow the email and mobile verification instructions.

Do not assume that a document or a particular identity record is required for ordinary registration unless the current IRCTC form specifically requests it. The officially published registration guidance confirms the user ID, password, valid email address, valid mobile number, and information marked as required on the form.

These steps cover IRCTC online account registration and the common searches “IRCTC register new account online” and “IRCTC login new registration.”

How do I sign in to my IRCTC account?

1. Open the official IRCTC home page and choose Login.
2. Enter the registered user ID and password.
3. Complete the CAPTCHA or other security prompt displayed on the login form.
4. Select the login button and wait for the account page to load.

Use the user ID, not an email address or mobile number, unless the form expressly says either can be used. IRCTC states that the user ID selected for the account cannot be changed, so save it in a secure place.

If the login form rejects the details, check capitalization, remove accidental spaces, and make sure a password manager has not filled credentials for another account. Do not repeatedly guess if you cannot remember the password; use the official recovery option instead.

The same official home page provides both sides of the IRCTC account login registration process. You do not need a separate third-party page for IRCTC new account registration login.

How do I complete IRCTC email and mobile verification?

IRCTC requires verification of the registered email address and mobile number before an individual account is fully verified. An OTP, or one-time password, is a temporary code sent to confirm that you control a contact method.

1. After submitting the registration form, check the inbox for the email address you entered. IRCTC’s guidance says the registration message includes the user ID and an activation route.
2. Sign in with the selected user ID and password when prompted.
3. Enter the OTP sent to the registered email address.
4. Enter the verification code sent to the registered mobile number.
5. Confirm that the page reports both the email address and mobile number as verified.

IRCTC’s published standard registration instructions confirm email and mobile verification. They do not state that every ordinary account must provide a particular identity document, so follow only the additional prompts actually displayed for your account.

What should I do if I forgot my IRCTC username or password?

Use Forgot Account Details or Forgot Password from the official login area. Do not use a recovery page sent by an unknown person or displayed on an unrelated site.

• For a forgotten username, enter the registered email address when the recovery form offers that option. IRCTC’s official account-recovery guidance says email can be used to recover a username and reset a password, with an OTP sent by email.

• For a forgotten password, enter the username when requested. Official IRCTC guidance says the recovery process can send an OTP to the registered email address and mobile number.

• Enter the displayed CAPTCHA, submit the request, provide the OTP, and create a new password according to the rules shown on the screen.

If a verification code does not arrive, confirm that the masked contact details belong to you, check the email spam or junk folder, and make sure the phone can receive messages. Request another code only through the official form. Use the newest code because requesting another OTP may make an earlier one unusable.

If you no longer control the registered email address or mobile number, or the recovery form cannot identify the account, stop guessing and contact IRCTC through its official support channel.

How do I get help with IRCTC registration or login errors?

Open {site} and locate Contact Us or the official customer-support query area. Use the contact method currently displayed there for a locked account, failed registration, an unavailable OTP, or a persistent login error.

Include the user ID if known, the type of problem, the exact error message, and whether the issue occurs during registration, verification, recovery, or login. State which contact method you can still access, but never include the account password or a live OTP.

Take a screenshot of the error if it does not expose sensitive information. If IRCTC registration login online fails after a browser problem, close duplicate tabs, reopen the official page, and try the form once more before submitting a support query.
