 Yes, it is possible to book a train ticket for your foreign friend through your IRCTC account. Here are the steps you need to follow:

2. Add your friend's details: Log in to your IRCTC account and add your friend's details, including name, age, gender, and passport number, under the "Master List" section.

3. Check for availability: Check the availability of trains and seats for your desired travel dates and route. You can do this by entering the details under the "Plan My Journey" section on the IRCTC website.

4. Book the ticket: Once you have found an available train and seat, select the train and enter your friend's details. Make the payment using your own payment method or e-wallet.

5. Print the ticket: After successful booking, you can print the ticket from your IRCTC account by clicking on the "Booked Ticket History" section and selecting the ticket you want to print.

However, it is important to note that train tickets in India require valid ID proof at the time of travel. As your foreign friend may not have Indian ID proof, they will need to carry their passport as valid ID proof. Additionally, it is advisable to check with the Indian Railways or the IRCTC beforehand regarding any specific requirements or restrictions for foreign travelers.
