What is IRCTC Ticket Booking Confirmation SMS
After booking online rail ticket from IRCTC website, an IRCTC user gets ticket confirmation SMS from IRCTC. The SMS so sent to mobile number of IRCTC user contains important passenger information such as PNR, train number, date of journey, class type info, source & destination station codes, passenger name, coach number, seat number, fare amount, surcharge amount, etc. Due to IRCTC’s “go green” initiative, these days, IRCTC Ticket SMS may be used as e-ticket while traveling in train. So rail passengers also dont want to take a printout of IRCTC e-ticket instead they want to receive IRCTC ticket confirmation SMS in their mobile phone so that they can show that SMS whenever ticket checking staff in train asks them for the ticket.
Why Resending of IRCTC SMS is Needed
Since IRCTC SMS may also be treated as a replacement of PrintOut of e-Ticket. So people who booked IRCTC e-Ticket require confirmation message to retain in their mobiles. For various reasons resending of IRCTC SMS is needed, few of them are:-
- Due to mobile network problem, at times, IRCTC SMS is not delivered to the users mobile after the ticket booking process is completed.
- Since rail traveler can travel in train without e-ticket print out so resending of IRCTC SMS is necessary if the previous sent ticket confirmation SMS by IRCTC is lost any way.
- Ticket confirmation SMS sent by IRCTC may be, sometimes, undelivered for some technical reasons also.
- It is also possible that IRCTC users receive the ticket confirmation message after completion of e-ticket booking process by IRCTC but SMS got deleted accidentally or otherwise.
- Some users want to get IRCTC SMS resent for checking if SMS resending facility is working correctly.

ReplyDelete@ hiteshgoldeneye
ReplyDeletethe above condition to receive irctc ticket confirmation sms again has been implemented recently by IRCTC. Earlier there was no such rule.
even today this facility is of no use because if your ticket gets confirmed then GET SMS option will not be there as shown above.

ReplyDeleteWow, useful.
ReplyDeleteI Booked it through an agent. Is there a possibility to resend it to my mobile again?
ReplyDeleteits not working. dude
ReplyDeletesms is resent only 3 days in advance b4
ReplyDeletedate of journey
No you can't change the mobile number after ticket is booked through IRCTC. Instead you can do one thing get the SMS forwarded to your own mobile number.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the above,
ReplyDeleteAlso be sure to change the name to TD-IRCTC or something like xx-IRCTC so that the SMS would appear as real SMS sent from IRCTC server. Because if the SMS is forwarded to your mobile number from the agents mob number or your relative mob number then his/her name will appear which showing the sms to TTE, hence to avoid this you can temporarily change the contact name of the sender (the mobile number who actually forwarded the original IRCTC SMS to your mobile number). Hope this helps,
