Everyone must be using IRCTC for booking tickets online, specifically e-tickets these days. So I dont need to teach anyone how to book railway tickets using the irctc portal. If you are not familiar with this way of booking railway tickets, please refer to the below URLs
IRCTC Online Passenger Reservation Site.
E-Ticket Guide
I dint find any help or reference for ngpay booking.
Here I am going to guide you on how to book tickets using ngpay based on my experience.I was also skeptical on how to book tickets on this one, especially about the payment method that is being used. But today I had to book a ticket and decided to give a try with ngpay. If you are smart enough
, you can get the details from the ngpay site itself. But I will describe here the steps I followed.
You will need GPRS connection for this to work. May be booking over wifi connection on mobile may also work. I will check this after I get my Nokia 5800 XM
Step one: Get the ngpay application on your mobile.
You can do referral by the following method.

The application will ask for the firstname, lastname, street address, email address and your mobile no. At the end , you will have to give a 6 digit pin of your choice which will be your ngpay pin. It will ask for a security question and date of birth also.
Step Four: Go ahead book the ticket
The above steps will finish the initial setup. In the future you can open the application by going to the location where you have the application installed. It will be stored with the name “ngpayâ€. In the app, you can see

Select IRCTC and there you can follow the instructions to book the ticket. While booking, it will ask for the source and destination, date and several other details like berth preference, type of coach etc. which you can easily fill out.At the end it will ask you for the method of payment. You have options to pay using visa cards/credit cards , hdfc internet banking … I have used the HDFC way
It will first ask for your HDFC account no. Then while payment it will ask your customer id as well as the password. This is the same logins that you use for login into the Internet banking of the HDFC. While payment it will display the ticket charge , the 10 Rs IRCTC charge, 10 Rs ngpay convenience, 5 Rs payment processing. But at the end they will give a discount of Rs 25 and voila! you are booking the ticket at the exact ticket fare. (10+10+5-25) heeh!
You will get the e-ticket mailed to the email id that you have specified in step three.
You can use this ngpay to book tickets for you as well as for anyone. While booking just give the name of the passenger. This was one where I was having a doubt..The good thing is that you can view the history of the transactions from the application itself.

Here also I had a doubt. I searched the ngpay website, but could not find out an answer. So I sent a query to ngpay support using the url below
Welcome to ngpay. Open your world!
I was just dumb. Just after I submitted the query, I searched in the ngpay application again and I found the cancellation location
ie, Inside My Services -> IRCTC -> Cancellation
But I was surprised when I got a call from ngpay support guy on my phone. He asked me the name and the amount with which I booked the ticket. Then described the same steps as above. Now I am sure, this thing is here to stay!!
