IRCTC included as authorized agent for booking air tickets on Government account
AS per existing procedure, Government officials/offices can book the air tickets directly from Airlines (at Booking counters/Website of Airlines) and if needed, by utilizing the services of authorized agents, viz, M/s Balmer Lawrie & Company Limited (BLCL) and M/s Ashok Travels & Tours (ATT). Air tickets for travel on LTC, to a limited extent, can also be got booked through Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation(IRCTC).
It has now been decided to include IRCTC as an authorized agent for the purpose of booking air tickets on Government account. Accordingly, if the services of a travel agent for booking air tickets on Government account are to be availed of, in addition to BLCL and ATT, the services of IRCTC can also be availed of.
