IRCTC accept payment via net banking or wallets like Paytm, mobiqwik,etc.

I booked a ticket from Chennai to Tanur ( Place doesn't matter).

Then in the payment screen, wallets are there and also net banking is there but I didn't enabled it with my bank yet. Also no direct credit/debit card option is there.

So, I choose paytm, paid cash and confirmed the reservation. But after sometime, I got a message form paytm that Ticket booking failed, cash is refunded. It may take upto 7 working days for your bank to accept refund.

How to book now?

  • IRCTC has support for a variety of payment options including credit/debit cards. There may be a temporary glitch due to which credit/debit cards were unavailable. You should try again after some time.

  • credit/debit option is there and I clicked it. But it redirect to paytm and accept cards via paytm gateway (like paypal). No direct accpet. Only using paytm, we can pay it and it fails.

    Sorry but I can see and use the following payment options in my account - "Debit card with PIN", "Payment Gateway/Credit Card". You can choose the options on the left hand side menu. Possibly you are using the first option "Multiple Payment Services" which has Credit/Debit cards/netbanking (Powered by PayTM) and it is failing

  • Also, as mentioned in question, netbanking is not suitable for me because, I contacted 2 times my bank already in last year because of forgot password. The procedure to recover password is difficult.

  • The "debit card with PIN" works like that. You can also choose the payment gateway option where you can choose other payment gateways.
