Indian railway’s subsidiary IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation Limited) has launched a Frequent Traveler Programme called Shubh Yatra, in association with SBI card.
Benefits of Shubh Yatra
Only those who book tickets at IRCTC site can avail the benefits of Shubh Yatra programme. The programme entitles travelers to get back 10 % of the ticket fare as railway points on all AC classes, except 3AC. The points, thus collected can be used for buy free railway tickets online.
Railway points can be earned at all AC classes, except AC III. The points accrued reflect in the account 5 days after the journey date.
Earn reward points
There are two types of reward points- Express rewards, which earns 4 points for every Rs. 100 spent and Super Fast rewards, which earn 10 points for every Rs. 100 spent, the dates of both vary.
Points can only be accrued on full fare tickets and not on any concessional tickets or vouchers.
Redeeming Railway points
Only when a person has minimum 500 points, can he start redeeming his points. While redeeming the points to free railway tickets, each point corresponds to Re. 1 of the ticket fare. Railway points will be valid up to 3 years from the date of registration.
For redeeming points, you will have to choose the option of Pay through Railway at the payment gateway.
On canceling a redeemed ticket before the journey date, you will have to part with 50% of the railway points in addition to the cancellation charges.

I have an IRCTC account which is locked second time.
When i tried to reset the password through forget password link, it asks User id, question and Answer. I provided all the details and it throws an error "Answer is Incorrect". This happend second time and both the times i tried to login through the actual password.
I sent an email at care@irctc.co.in and got an automated email as Ticket Confirmation for the request.
I waited for a week and there was no response from IRCTC customer care. I called them up on 24 Hrs. Customer Support at 011-23340000 and it took about 12 calls to make them understand about the issue. When ever i called up the customer support the person attnding the call will redirect me to someone else after listening to my detail and again i need to explain whole story, inshort that was waste of time and money.
IRCTC should hire service and satisfaction oriented support executives so that it a common man has no pain of wasting time and money.
can any of teach me how to book online rail tickets using SBI railway credit card? because when i reach the payment options window, SBI Railway credit card payment options doesnot feature at all......
