TL;DR
After paying on the official ASI ticket website you get a payment confirmation email, but sometimes not a separate QR-code ticket — check with the site's support or bring the payment confirmation as proof for entry. OCI cardholders (Overseas Citizens of India) get tickets at the local Indian price, which is much cheaper.
After paying for the Taj Mahal ticket online, only a payment confirmation email arrives from the site, not a separate QR-code ticket — there's confusion about how to actually get the ticket.
Travelers with an OCI card (Overseas Citizen of India) can buy the Taj Mahal ticket at the local Indian price, which is much cheaper than the foreigner rate.
Some travelers suggest skipping the ticket altogether — you can view the Taj Mahal from outside and the surrounding area without a ticket and continue on your route.
