They are only available through a limited number of International Desks operated by Indian Railways within India. To book it is necessary to attend in person and carry your passport complete with valid tourist visa. If you need tickets for more than one qualifying person you will need to take their passport. Photocopies are not accepted. There have been reports that some offices require you to hand over a photocopy of your passport photo and visa pages.

Here are the places where you can book FTQ.
New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS).
--------------------------------------------
The station is notorious for touts and con-men who will try to persuade you to go elsewhere so that their associates can fleece you. Have nothing to do with them. Walk along the outside of the Paharganj (west) side of the station and look for this sign.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
