Viral IRCTC Captcha Screenshot Triggers Social Media Debate

Checking train PNR status is usually a simple task, but a viral social media post has turned it into a topic of discussion. A screenshot shared on X appeared to show an IRCTC captcha asking users to solve a complex mathematical equation before proceeding. The passenger humorously remarked that he only wanted to check his PNR status, drawing widespread attention online.

The post quickly gained traction, with social media users joking that IRCTC had introduced competitive exam-style questions for passengers. Some even suggested keeping a calculator ready before checking train tickets. However, several users questioned the authenticity of the screenshot, noting that IRCTC captchas are generally much simpler. The viral image has sparked an entertaining online debate, though there is no confirmation that such questions are part of the standard IRCTC captcha system.
