IRCTC launches application for Windows Phone and Windows 8
devices for e-ticketing
The new IRCTC App, developed in
collaboration with Microsoft, is expected to enhance access to its existing
e-ticket portal.
"With this alternative channel of
booking, the passengers will have an additional convenience and better
experience of booking e-ticket," said Rakesh Tandon, CMD of IRCTC after
the launch of the App.
The App has been made available
exclusively for Windows devices.
The users of Windows Phone, Windows 8
Desktop, Tablet, laptops can download this application free of cost as per
their requirement from the Windows Phone Store and Windows Store respectively.
"We are excited to make the IRCTC
App available exclusively on the Windows platform. We are committed to bring
exciting and new experience to your Windows devices and will continue to create
many such firsts," said Joseph Landes, General Manager of Microsoft
Corporation.
Using this new App one can plan a trip,
make railway reservations, check the PNR status and perform all the tasks
already available on the IRCTC web site.
The service, however, will not be
available between 8 AM and 12 AM and 11.30 PM and 12.30 AM as per the existing
Railway guidelines.
Tandon said, "We feel the App is
ideal for the modern consumer who is always on the move. Windows is the most
trusted and widely used platform and offers the requisite security required
while handling vast amounts of personal and financial user data."
