It had better be accurate - its there to prevent card fraud, especially with international cards if your details dont match up an audit might flag your card and cancel the ticket on you.
Indian trains may be crowded so pick the highest class you have availability in (or the lowest waitlist in). AC1 -> AC2 -> AC3 -> Sleeper.
AC1 is lockable coupes (with a door), with 2 or 4 seats per coupe.
AC2 is open plan with 2 x 2 seats + berths facing each other
AC3 is open plan with 3 x 3 seats + berths facing each other
Sleeper is like AC3 but not aircon

As a followup, what class should I choose? How different are they? AC 1? 2? 3? Sleeper? What is the most comfortable, most private, safest? I will be traveling alone with minimal (but not 0) luggage, and will likely be exhausted from my flight from home. The train is in the afternoon and takes about 4 hours I think. I would actually prefer an earlier train, but not all classes are available.
Finally, with an e-ticket, how early should I arrive? I will be at the Courtyard Gurgaon the night before.
Thanks
