How To Book A Train Ticket Using IRCTC VIKALP Scheme

Less than a month is left for Holi, and it’s a bit difficult for everyone to get confirmed train tickets. In 2015, IRCTC launched the VIKALP train ticket program to provide confirmed tickets to as many passengers as possible. How to choose the train ticket booking option: Every time we book tickets, the first thing that we do is check the availability of tickets. When you notice that the seats on the train you want to travel with are either not available or that they are showing as waiting, then opt for the IRCTC Vikalp scheme. A person opting for the VIKALP scheme should know that opting for VIKALP does not mean that a confirmed berth will be provided to passengers on an alternate train.
