Its called netbanking. Most of the good sites allow you to debit your bank account directly (mostly through billdesk.com). The transaction links you to your own bank's internet banking system where you put in a user name and password ON THE BANK'S WEBSITE and the merchant has no control on the transaction. Once teh bank confrims your transaction, it passes a confirmation to the merchant.
I have to book about 6-10 railway tickets every month for our audit teams which travel all over the country. I always opt for net banking instead of credit cards. Try it next time. Regards saswata -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
