IRCTC Transaction ID Explained
What is transaction id in IRCTC Ticket
Transaction Id in any Rail ticket is an unique ID which shows your actual payment transaction to book the ticket using IRCTC website.
No other ticket in IRCTC system can have the same Transaction ID( called TID). However over some months this TID shall be rotated.
If you observer tickets booked in a single day at IRCTC website then you will find that all tickets get Transaction ID within a stipulated range only. That means if compare with any other day of the month then the Transaction ID range will be different. It will mostly be ever increasing. However when it is rotated then it again starts from the beginning
Within the IRCTC Booked Ticket History, your tickets may look like:
| Select | S.No. | Transaction ID | PNR Number | Train No | From | To | Date of Journey | Reservation Status |
