Both E-Ticket and I-Ticket are two ways of booking space whenever you are traveling in India. There are differences between the two methods of collecting tickets in India. The notable difference between them is how you go about collecting the ticket. E-ticket, as the name implies, is an electronic way of ordering tickets. It deals with the printing of an electronic form which you would fill and take it along with you whatever time your traveling date is. While I-ticket uses mail to forward the ticket to the person ordering for ticket.

With I-ticket, you would need to start processing your ticket like two days to the actual date, so that your ticket can be processed and sent to you. Whereas, you don't need to wait for 2 days when opting for E-ticket because you can even print the electronic form on the day you are traveling, but you would need to go with your identity card. The cost for I-ticket is higher than that of E-ticket.
