New Delhi. Indian Railways’ Tatkal ticket service is very beneficial for those who have to travel suddenly. You can book Tatkal tickets online through IRCTC’s website or mobile app. Its booking is also done at the ticket counter of the railway station.
Tatkal ticket booking for AC class starts at 10 am and Sleeper class ticket booking starts at 11 am. Passengers can book tickets a day before their travel date. Not everyone gets a confirmed ticket even in Tatkal. The reason for this is that there are less seats and more passengers. Apart from this, small mistakes and delays during booking also become a hindrance in getting a confirmed ticket. If you login to the IRCTC website or app at the right time, then the chances of getting a confirmed ticket in Tatkal can increase.
If there is a delay in logging in on the IRCTC site, then it becomes difficult to get a confirmed ticket. Tatkal tickets are booked in trains in just 5-7 minutes. Due to this reason, most passengers are not able to get a confirmed ticket and they get a waiting ticket. Today we will tell you at what time you should login to the IRCTC app or site.
Correct timing is important
Tatkal ticket booking in AC coach of train starts at 10 am. In such a situation, one should login on IRCTC website and app at 9.55 am. Whereas, for sleeper class, login at 10.55 am. Now this question will arise in your mind that what is the harm if we login before this i.e. at 9:45 or 10:45. Many people do this too. The disadvantage of logging in much before the booking opens is that the login time expires due to no transaction happening on the website or app for 15 minutes.
When the login expires, you have to login again. Suppose you logged in at 9:45 and your login expires at the last moment i.e. at 10 o’clock, then by the time you login again, it is possible that all the tickets will be booked. Secondly, at 10 o’clock, due to heavy traffic on the IRCTC website, the load increases and it is not easy to login after that. Therefore, you should login only by 9:55 or 10:55. Not much earlier. In this game of timing of Tatkal ticket booking, a small mistake can prove to be costly and due to late login, you get a waiting ticket.
