A few months back I used to get my tickets done from an outsider who charged me so much extra, sometimes almost the cost of the ticket itself.
I knew about booking tickets on irctc.co.in, but never tried. But one when I was with no option to go out, I used irctc.co.in and was astonished to see that its so easy to book a ticket and I dont even have to pay extra than the Card taxes!
Im a student and it has helped me many times, even the tatkal option is so easy to access. Now I dont have to pay extra money to the shop person or stand in tatkal rows at the railway station counter! Irctc.co.in offers many options, like to book hotels, etc.
And with the time irctc.co.in has added new features as well, now you can book your air tickets from here! Isnt that great?
