Getting
a confirmed ticket is difficult due to a large number of passengers booking their tickets in
advance. With some tested tricks (legitimate), you can book a confirmed ticket online and
through passenger reservation counters.
Amid the COVID crisis, the Indian Railway focused on expanding its services. Though trains’
normal operation has not yet begun, IRCTC has started running more trains between the
stations. With more special trains on routes, passengers with a confirmed ticket can only
travel in trains. Alternatively, the demand for the confirmed ticket has also increased due to
upcoming festivals like Durga Puja, Diwali, and Chhath.
Here, we will discuss some tricks that will help you book a confirmed ticket.
While booking a tatkal ticket, a passenger has to select the Date of the Journey and the
destination (origin station and destination station) details. Once you are done with it, a list of
trains will be displayed. You can select the one according to your travel requirement.
Subsequently, you have to select the class of the journey, such as AC or Non-AC. Next, you
need to select the Quota, which is Tatkal Ticket in this case. Finally, you will get options for
Disabled, Premium Tatkal, General Lower/Upper Berth, Senior Citizen etc. You need to click
these options to provide your preferred choice for options. Having these details in advance
will help you get the confirmed train tickets.
Master List is the passenger’s detail that can be saved in advance. This list can be saved on
both the website and the app of Indian Railways. You need to log in to your account on the
IRCTC ticket booking website and click the My Profile option. Once you click this, it will open
the My Master List option. Fill in the details in advance through the Add New option. While
booking your tatkal train ticket, make sure to select Add Existing option for providing details
of the passengers. Doing this will save your time and increase the chances of getting a
confirmed tatkal ticket. Some people may also use the Chrome Browser extension for
booking tickets faster.
Do you know every booked train ticket has a code that tells about the confirmation chances
for reservation? Your train ticket has a unique 10-digit PNR number. PNR is referred to as the
passenger name record, and it is an important number on the upper left side of the reserved
ticket. You can use this number to check the confirmation probability of your ticket.
To give a boost to digitalization, the Indian Railway has enabled the UTSonmobile web
portal. Passengers who use Smart cards to purchase unreserved tickets, including the
platform tickets, can now recharge them online by registering on this portal. Earlier, Smart
Card holders had to visit railway reservation counters for recharging them.
You can purchase a Smart Card at booking offices at suburban stations. The Smart Card
cost is Rs 70, in which Rs 50 is a refundable deposit and Rs 20 is recharge value.
Benefits
If you buy an unreserved train ticket through your Card, make sure to start your journey
within one hour.
You might be an experienced traveler, but sometimes you may confuse while booking a
ticket. Here are few train ticket booking tips that works fine for different situations.
Situation: When a train arrives at a station at 11:55 PM or after and leaves the station after
12 o’clock, a passenger should book the ticket for which day.
In this situation, the passenger should consider the date of the journey based on the
departure of the train from the station.
For example, A train from Jaynagar to Delhi leaves at 8.30 PM from Jaynagar and reaches
Patna Junction Station at 11.55 PM, and the train leaves Patna at 12.05 AM. Therefore,
passengers boarding at Patna should book the ticket for the day when the train leaves the
station where the passenger will board the train.
Indian Railway has come up with new ticket booking rules. Registered Users who have not
booked tickets for a long time will have to undergo a verification process before buying
tickets from the IRCTC website. The verification process will include the verification of their
e-mail Id and mobile number.
Follow the below-mentioned steps to book your train ticket faster and securely.
● Book your train ticket from the official Indian Railway Website
● Keep your Master List filled with passenger details in advance
● iMudra helps you book the Tatkal tickets quickly; use IRCTC iMudra digital wallet for
online payment for your ticket
● Get access to a stable and fast internet connection for booking the ticket
● Prefer the Mobile app over the website for booking the ticket
The official IRCTC App and website are the best option for booking your train ticket. While
booking the ticket, make sure to keep your registered mobile in an open area where signal
strength is good. Delay in receiving OTP can take extra time and thus, prevent you from
booking your ticket faster.
What is Tatkal Train Ticket Booking?
In December 1997, the Tatkal Ticket Reservation scheme was introduced by the Indian
Railways. It allows passengers to book their tickets in one day advance of the date of the
journey. The Tatkal ticket booking is available for all seat categories except AC-1, such as
Sleeper, AC-3, AC-2, and executive class. Tatkal fare is charged at a minimum of 30% of the
base fare.
You can book a train ticket 120 days in advance from the date of the journey. However, in
some intercity day express trains and Special trains, the advance reservation period may
vary.
Planning your journey is important prior to buy the tickets. RailMitra offers you a wide range
of enquiry services, including Train Schedule, Seat Availability, and Fare Enquiry, to help you
plan your journey in the best possible way. Besides that, you can also use this online
platform to order delicious food on train and get it delivered to your seat.
