Indian Railways Tatkal Train Ticket Rules: If seen, a large number of people travel by train every day. Some go to their village, some to another city in search of work and many people travel by train to spend time with their loved ones on the occasion of festival.
But there are many routes for which it seems very difficult to get a train ticket, because people book the tickets as soon as they open months in advance.

In such a situation, people have the option of booking Tatkal train tickets, which you can book a day before the journey, but from July 1, the rules regarding this are also going to change and you may not be able to book Tatkal train tickets. This is because Indian Railways has asked to do a work and those who will not get it done will not be able to book Tatkal train tickets. So let’s know what this work is and how it can be done. You can know more about this further…
Get this work done, otherwise you will not be able to book Tatkal tickets
If you want to book Tatkal train tickets from 1 July 2025, then it becomes necessary for you to link your Aadhar card with your IRCTC account. If you do not do this, then you will not be able to book Tatkal train tickets from July 1.
Actually, Indian Railways took this decision recently and users were asked to link their Aadhaar card with their IRCTC account. This was done to bring transparency in Tatkal train ticket booking. People are not able to get Tatkal train tickets, so this has been done to stop bot/agent based ticket booking and to run the services smoothly.
This is the way to link IRCTC account with Aadhar card:-
First step
If you have not linked your Aadhaar card to your IRCTC account yet, then get it done
For this, first of all you have to visit the official website of IRCTC irctc.co.in/nget/train-search or app
Then you have to go to the ‘Account’ section here.
Second step
After this, you have to click on the option ‘Authenticate user’
Now you will get the option to link your Aadhaar card and PAN card
In such a case, you have to click on the Aadhaar card and enter your Aadhaar number
After this, OTP will be sent to the number linked with Aadhaar, enter it and then your Aadhaar will be linked to your IRCTC account
