online through the IRCTC website or app. Before ordering tickets, users will be
required to have their phone numbers and email addresses confirmed. Bookings
will not be accepted without verification.
this new rule applies
to those who have not made an online booking since the Covid-19 outbreak began.

website or app and look for the verification window.

registered phone number and email address here.
