‘Net Banking’ is a mode of payment that allows you to pay for the services offered at www.railtourismindia.com by direct debit from your bank account.

If you have a bank account with which you can make online transactions, then yes, you can definitely use the ‘Net Banking’ option at IRCTCs website www.railtourismindia.com.

After a successful transaction, your account will get debited immediately.

Just contact your bank’s helpdesk and they will retrieve your ‘Net Banking’ password for you.

You need to be an ICICI bank/ Union Bank / IDBI Bank account holder for this. Just follow these easy steps:

1. On the payment page, select ‘‘Direct Debit’’, select ‘ICICI bank/ Union Bank / IDBI Bank’ and hit ‘Continue’.

2. You will be redirected to ICICI bank/ Union Bank / IDBI Bank's Infinity page. Enter your login ID and password to log on.

3. On the next page, verify the payee details and the amount to be paid. Select the account to be debited.

4. Enter your login ID and the transaction password. Hit ‘Pay’.

5. If the payment has been successful, you will be shown your payment reference number. Do note it down. Then hit ‘OK’ and you’ll be redirected to IRCTC’s Thank You page.

Here’s what happened – your session expired due to security reasons. This happens, simply, when you take too long to make the direct debit payment and don’t manage it in the specified amount of time. Go back to the IRCTCs website www.railtourismindia.com home page and start over again. We know it’s annoying, but it’s all for security.

To make a successful booking, your payment transaction has to get verified successfully at your bank’s direct debit gateway. The verification can fail because of various reasons. If you made a successful payment but the verification failed, don’t sweat. The amount debited from your account should get credited back within 7 working days.

The account that you used for payment should get credited with the refund amount within 7 working days.

The CVV is an important security feature that further reduces the risk of Internet fraud. This number never appears on sales receipts or billing statements and is only found on the physical card itself. We ask you to enter the CVV code during your transaction to make sure that the card is, in fact, in your possession.

For Visa/MasterCard: Your CVV is the three–digit code after the last four digits of your credit card number on the back of the card within the signature field.

For American Express: Your CVV is the four–digit number on the front right–hand side of the card above the card number.

Verified by Visa or VBV is a product offered by Visa in conjunction with the bank that’s issued your card. VBV uses personal passwords or identity information to help protect Visa card numbers against unauthorized use. VBV is available for most Visa cards from participating financial institutions.

VBV protects your existing Visa card with a password that’s been created by you and provides the added assurance that only you can use your Visa card online. For more details on VBV, please click here.

VBV provides an extra level of protection for online shopping and helps to prevent unauthorized online use before it can happens.

You can ask the help desk or Call Centre of the card issuing bank and confirm whether or not your card offers the VBV facility.

Room types are different categories of rooms available with different hotels like Deluxe Room, Premier Room and Executive Room etc. Please check for specific room type while booking.

By clicking on [View Rooms & Rate] tab for a particular hotel you can see the available rooms with their rates.
