What is the difference between i-ticket & e-ticket in Railways? How can I book my ticket through cash and my debit card?  

i-Ticket- It is like a normal ticket which will be delivered at your address. For i-Tickets you have to book the ticket at least two days in advance. i-Tickets are issued for Waiting List, Confirmed and RAC cases.

An e-ticket can be booked up to the time of chart preparation for your train. To book an e-ticket you have to enter your ID proof details like PAN Card, Voter’s ID Card, Passport, Ration Card, Central/State Govt. ID Card or Driving License. After booking just take a printout of the Electronic Reservation Slip and carry it during travel with the ID proof.

Payment Options

1. Payment by Credit Cards like Citibank Cards, Diners Club Cards, ICICI Bank Cards, American Express Cards. Agents can book through any Visa/Mater/Amex cards.
2. Payment through Direct Debit Facility – ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, IDBI, Citibank, Bank of Punjab, Oriental Bank of Commerce, UTI, State Bank of India, Centurion Bank of Punjab, Punjab National Bank, ABN-AMRO, Federal Bank, Corporation Bank, Syndicate Bank, Union Bank of India, IndusInd Bank, ITZ Cash, State Bank of Travancore, Andhra Bank, Icash Card, Karnataka Bank, SBI debit card, HDFC Debit Card etc

the main diffrcence btween i-ticket & e- ticket is that , i-ticket is delevered at ur address & courrier charges are also charged . in e- ticket u can hv a printout of the ticket as u book. there is no option to book ticket by cash. rather the payment gateway provide no. of option of payments through various banks through debit cards, internet banking etc.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i- ticket is what you book on the Net but receive a the ticket physically at your given address while registering .

e - Ticket is when you book a ticket on net and you print a copy of the same which is as good as a ticket but have to show a verification id in the train to the TT for assuring him that you are the one who booked the ticket

I hope that helps
