I have HDFC IRCTC card which I utilize for the booking.
Above is link for booking of train tickets using the privilege of HDFC IRCTC card where you get 5% points + 5% cashback..
Here I dont see any difference between booking from above mentioned portal and booking from IRCTC. Price is almost same.
Am I missing something or were you using some other portal for the booking?
In fact, you get 5% points + 5% cashback only from this portal.

So I am not seeing any devaluation of HDFC IRCTC card.
Please let me know what portal are you utilizing where you are seeing confrmtkt integration as above mentioned portal is directly linked with your IRCTC ID.
