Doesnt Work For Tourists
This official app is unnecessarily difficult to register and to buy tickets. The rules are draconian. It simply does not work for non-Indian credit cards. If you are a foreign tourists this is completely useless. You will need a local mobile number and a local credit card for it to work. Previously the site used to work. If youre tourist visiting India stop wasting your time. If you can somehow find a local telephone number and register, then you can use some of the third-party apps to use any credit card to buy tickets. You can spend hours, if not days, trying to figure out how all this works.
Looks like the third-party travel sites paid off someone to have foreign cards nonfunctional. This way they can charge a surcharge and process tickets.
The one star is for the convenience of looking up train schedules.
