Indian Railways has signed a Memorandum
of Understanding with Department of Posts for setting up of Passenger
Reservation System (PRS) counters at Post Offices. PRS counters at Post
offices are opened based on technical and commercial feasibility where there
are no Railway Reservation Counters in nearby areas. At present, PRS
counters have been provided in about 280 post offices across the country. The
State wise number of the Post Offices in which Passenger Reservation System
counters are available is given below:-

Online booking of reserved tickets
on www.irctc.co.in has become very popular and about
65% of total reserved tickets are now booked online. The provision of PRS at
post offices is a continuous activity based on the requirement and
feasibility.
