Troubleshoot IRCTC login OTP not received

If you do not receive the IRCTC login OTP, here are common troubleshooting steps:

1. Try logging in during off-peak hours (early morning before 7 AM or late night after 8 PM) when traffic on the IRCTC servers is lower, as busy times may delay OTP delivery.

2. Ensure your mobile number and email ID entered are correct and linked to your IRCTC account.

3. Check if your mobile network has good signal and your device is not blocking SMS or emails from unknown senders.

4. For email OTP issues, check your spam or junk folder, and ensure your email sync is ON in your phone’s settings. Toggle sync off and on for the email account having issues.

5. If using Gmail, verify that your inbox is not full and your email client is updating properly to receive new messages.

6. Retry sending the OTP after waiting for the cooldown time (usually 180 seconds) instead of repeatedly clicking immediately.

7. Avoid attempting OTP requests repeatedly in peak booking times (8 AM to 11 AM or during major ticket releases) as servers may be overloaded.

8. If the problem persists, try using a different email address or mobile number if possible. Also clear cache and cookies or try a different browser/device.

9. Contact IRCTC customer care for unresolved OTP delivery issues.

IRCTC’s OTP system can be slow or temporarily down during high traffic because of server overload or maintenance. Patience and trying at less busy times often resolve the problem.​​

This advice covers both mobile SMS and email OTP issues related to IRCTC login and account creation.
