Indian Railways is undoubtedly the cheapest and most comfortable mode of transport because even if you plan your journey at the last minute, it is still more economical than air tickets and you will reach your destination on time. However, during emergencies or last minute plans, passengers go for ‘tatkal’ ticket booking where there is a risk of ticket not getting confirmation from IRCTC.
Passengers face this problem due to increased demand and less chances of getting confirmation. But now there is no need to worry about it as few easy steps can help you to get a confirmed ticket and for this you do not need the help of travel agents or anyone.
Here is how you can get a confirmed Tatkal ticket from IRCTC:
To generate ‘Master List’ in ‘My Profile’ section open IRCTC official website
Add every detail there correctly like age, aadhaar number and other required information
Then login to IRCTC website few minutes before booking Tatkal ticket
Select train, and destination and no need to add information again
By following these steps, you can get your Tatkal ticket confirmed.
Important Note: The peak timing of booking for AC tickets starts at 10 AM, while for sleeper tickets it starts at 11 AM, make sure you book your tickets well before the peak hours.
