What is Difference between I-Ticket & E-Ticket

There are two modes of online booking available in IRCTC website. These are I-Ticket and E-Ticket. Passengers general opt for E-Ticket without bothering to know the basic differences, benefits and/or positive/negative features of I-Ticket and/or E-Tickets.

I-Ticket 

I-Ticket can be purchased online but it is delivered at customer residential address in 2-3 days time. I-Ticket need to be booked at least 2 days in advance. I-Tickets are issued for Waiting List, Confirmed and RAC cases. I-tickets are always delivered at the customer's shipping address provided at the time of user registration. If for any reason the customer is not available to collect then he or she can authorize another person to collect ticket on his or her behalf but the collecting person must have an authority letter from the customer to do so. After the ticket is delivered at your doorsteps you need a copy of Voter's ID Card, Passport or any other ID Card out of the following ID proofs to validate the address on the I-Ticket:

1. Voter Photo identity card issued by Election Commision of India.
2. Passport issued by GOI
3. PAN Card issued by Income Tax Department.
4. Driving Licence issued by RTO.
5. Photo identity card having serial number issued by Central/State Government.
6. Student Identity Card with photograph issued by recognized School/College for their students.
7. Nationalized Bank Passbook with Photograph.
8. Credit cards issued by banks with laminated photograph.
9. Unique Identification Card "Aadhaar Card".
10. Photo identity cards having serial number issued by Public Sector Undertaking of State/Central Government, District Administration, Municipal bodies and Penchant Administration.

The railway charges a minimal service amount and one can pay online through credit or debit cards.

I-Ticket can not be cancelled online and the passenger has to compulsorily visit the reservation counter. I-Ticket is similar to Ticket booked at Reservation Counter and you are just saved of waiting in the long queues to get the reservation done from the comfort of your home. IRCTC charges a service charge of Rs.40/- per ticket in case of Second Class and Sleeper Class tickets and Rs.60/- per ticket in case of tickets of other classes.(These charges are not per passenger) Apart from this service charge of IRCTC, transaction charges as notified will be levied by the banks for each transaction

E-Ticket 

An e-ticket can be booked up to the time of chart preparation for your train. To book an e-ticket on Internet at IRCTC website you have to enter your ID proof details like PAN Card, Voter’s ID card, Passport, Ration Card, Central/State Govt. ID Card or Driving License. After booking just take a printout of the Electronic Reservation Slip and carry it during travel with the ID proof. To save papers and forests, now IRCTC has allowed showing email/SMS or downloaded copy of e-Ticket on your smartphone. Now the penalty of Rs.50 for not carrying the electronic reservation slip has been done away with by IRCTC. E-tickets can be cancelled only through internet. Cancellation will be confirmed online and the money will be credited to the same back account. E-ticket - The user can take a printout of the Electronic Registration Slip (ERS)

• 1AC is not supported by Tatkal bookings.
• You are not required to carry any identity proof either at the time of booking or during the journey, if you make reservation under tatkal scheme.
• There will be no separate Tatkal train defined. The unutilised Tatkal quota will get released to waitlisted passengers. 
• In those trains and in those classes where average utilisation of Tatkal accommodation during peak period i.e. April to September is 80% and above, Tatkal charges applicable during peak period will be charged throughout the year i.e. for both peak and non-peak periods.

Can I rectify the mistakes in E-Ticket booked online

It is a big question if change of name and/or change of gender can be carried out online in respect of confirmed online E-Ticket issued by Indian Railways. If Indian Railways permit this facility the tricksters will book advance e-tickets in dummy names and rectify in the name of real travellers or passengers by charging hefty fees. To check this malpractice the Indian Railway has not allowed the rectification facility at IRCTC site online. However under exceptional circumstances the changes in name are permitted subject to following rules:

1. Save as otherwise, a berth or a seat reserved in the name of a person shall be used only by the person and shall not be transferable to any other person.
2. Chief Reservation Supervisor of important stations are authorized by Railway Administration to permit the change of name of a passenger having a seat or berth reserved in his name in the following circumstances namely:

• Where the passenger is a Government Servant, proceeding on duty and appropriate authority, makes a request in writing 24 hours before the scheduled departure of trains.
• Where the passenger makes a request in writing 24 hours before the scheduled departure of the train that the reservation made in his name may be transferred to another member of his family, meaning, Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Son, Daughter, Husband and Wife.
• Where the passengers are students of a recognized educational institution and the Head of the institution makes a request in writing 48 hours before the scheduled departure of the train, that the reservation made in the name of any student be transferred to any other student of the same institute.
• Where the passengers are members of a marriage party and any person deemed to be Head of such party makes a request in writing 48 hours before the scheduled departure of the train that the reservation made in the name of any member of the marriage party be transferred to any other person.
• Where the passengers are a group of cadets of National Cadet Corps and any officer who is the head of the group, makes a request in writing at least 24 hours before the departure of the train that the reservation made in the name of any cadet be transferred to any other cadet.

However Such request will be granted only once. Regarding item no. (c), (d) and (e), such request for change in excess of 10% of the total strength of group shall not be granted.

What to do in case of wrongly reserved E-Ticket: There is no way to change Gender, Age or Surname in the online booked E-Ticket. Some IT Persons recommend taking the print out in illegal and unofficial ways by following the steps below:

open irctc website and select your ticket before printing right click on male/female  
> click on inspect element 
>Edit male/Female
>press enter
>Print  it

But it will be better to approach the nearest ICRTC Reservations Centre along with proof of identity of the passengers whose Name, Surname, Age and/or Gender is to be changed. The booking clerk may amend the ticket after charging the differences if any. For example if you entered the age 65 instead of 35 and availed the senior citizen discount then you will have to pay back the concession availed. This facility is not available for Tatkal Tickets. 

If the Ticket is booked very well in advance and you can afford to bear the cancellation charges it is always better to cancel the ticket with wrong particulars and book fresh ticket online. In case of rail accidents it may become very difficult to claim compensation in case of rail accident  on the basis of wrong name/surname/gender/age as the same will not match with the ID Proof of the passenger and Railway Claims Tribunal may reject the claim on account of "Passenger Travelling on Unauthorised Ticket".
