Tatkal Ticket Booking Timing

Note down the exact time before starting, because every second is worth it. Booking for AC class (2AC, 3AC, CC) starts at 10:00 am and for Non-AC class (Sleeper) at 11:00 am.

Tickets can be confirmed with this trick

The biggest reason for not getting Tatkal tickets is the time taken to fill the passengers' name, age and berth choice at the time of booking. By the time you type all this, someone else is taking the ticket. The easiest solution to this is the Master List Feature of IRCTC. All you have to do is do a little work before the booking starts.

Step-by-step way to book train tickets

• Open the IRCTC app or website about 15-20 minutes before the Tatkal booking time (10 or 11 am).
• Go to the 'My Account' section of your account and click on 'My Master List' there.
• Here, fill in the name, age and gender of the people for whom you want to book tickets and save it (Add Passenger).
• Now at the time of booking, when you reach the passenger details page, you will not have to type the name. The option of 'Add Existing' will appear there.
• By clicking on it the master list will open.
• Select your name and be taken straight to the payment page!

2 more important steps in train ticket booking

1. When making payment through net banking or credit card, time is wasted in receiving OTP and entering the password. Always use UPI (BHIM, Paytm, PhonePe or GPay) for Tatkal tickets. In this, the request comes directly to your phone and payment is made as soon as you enter the PIN.
2. Login just 2-3 minutes before the booking starts. If you login half an hour in advance, the app can automatically log you out at exactly 10 or 11 o'clock.
