Unlike regular tickets, which open 120 days in advance, Tatkal tickets are released just one day before the train departs from its origin station. It can be booked on the opening day from 10:00 hrs for AC class (2A/3A/CC/EC/3E) and at 11:00 hrs for Non- AC class (SL/FC/2S). e .g. if train is to depart from originating station on 2nd August, Tatkal Booking will Commence at 10:00 AM and for Non AC class will Commence at 11:00 AM on 1st August. To secure a Tatkal ticket, travelers must be aware of the correct booking timings and procedures. To optimize server performance and enhance booking efficiency, Indian Railways has introduced revised Tatkal ticket timings based on travel class. You can use our app and websites to search for the best train for your route, check which stations the train goes through, find out the closest available dates (in case your desired dates are not available) and then proceed to book your tatkal train tickets.
