Cleartrip, the Flipkart-backed travel platform, has started booking train tickets through a partnership with IRCTC. The service gives travellers access across India with real-time seat availability and PNR status tracking. Cleartrip says it targets a mid-to-high single-digit share in train bookings by the end of the financial year, advancing its goal of becoming a unified travel platform.
A viral social media post claimed Indian Railways revised Tatkal ticket booking timings effective April 15, sparking confusion among frequent travelers. IRCTC fact checks this misinformation, clarifying that no such change has been implemented as claimed. The clarification exposes how quickly inaccurate screenshots and dates can spread, urging users to rely on official IRCTC updates.
