21. Indian Railways Salient Features & drawback One of the biggest feature that Indian railway has provided to their customers is of e-ticketing. E-ticketing by this facility the people are some how relaxed a bit because he/she can book ticket(reservation) without wasting any time or standing in queues. If we look at the figures of the e-booking of tickets about 80% of the tickets are booked by the people who are living in metro cities (NCR,Delhi,Gurgaon,Mumbai etc.) There is a big drawback of booking an e-ticket that it is mandatory for the person who is booking the ticket get his/her ticket confirmed before the time of boarding of the train otherwise the person will be traeted as without ticket. Otherwise all other quotas are there like tatkal , general and ladies. Indian Railways has given many links for booking an e-ticket i.e- Irctc.co.in , Indianrailinfo.com &Indianrailgov.in.
