i-ticket means you book ticket through internet but you can not print but you get preprinted ticket as is normally available
on PRS counters.
i-ticket is delivered in select cities through...
more... IR authorised agents.
if your city is not on list of irctc, you can not book i-ticket, or if you want i-ticket, you need some one in the city where
ticket will be delivered, and recouriered to you by someone. Thus you pay double courier charges, one normal IR charges and
second time extra.
as the I ticket is to be delivered by courier, as decided by IRCTC, selected cities only have this facility. (link

Further the quote from the webpage says:
1-IMPORTANT:LOCATION AND CONDITION FOR COURIER DELIVERY :
2:The following cities(Pincodes) are covered for door delivery for I-Ticket (E-Ticket can be booked from any city
irrespective of the delivery limitations)
3-Please ensure --two clear days-- before date of journey for Home Delivery at
the following cities of the state. ( list of states/cities is exhaustive. and user needs to go through it, on the weblink

4:Please ensure --three clear days-- before date of journey for Home Delivery at
the following cities of the state. (( list of states/cities is exhaustive. and user needs to go through it, on the weblink
