According to the Railways Ministry, these changes will curb the problems during the high season and ticket discussion during the high season and traffic hours, blocking tickets by agents and wrong discussion elements. This initiative will be useful, especially for the passengers who plan to travel at the last minute. What is the Tatkal ticket -system? Tatkal Ticket is a special quota reserved for passengers who have to travel suddenly. This discussion opens a day before the date of travel and its seats are limited, causing a lot of demand for these tickets. Using this great demand, some travel agents and brokers discuss a large number of tickets, through which the ordinary passengers do not get tickets, or that they have to spend extra money. The most important points of the new rules include the following important changes in the new rules implemented by the Railways: 🕑 Amended Tatkal Discussion Time Railways have changed the discussion window for different classes: AC class (1ac, 2ac, 3ac, cc): non-AC-Class (SL, 2’s) from 10 o’clock: And the load on the charge is to give the system to give.

Choose your favorite class (AC/Non -A) and select “Tatkal” quota. Enter passenger details and valid identity cards (ID evidence). Go to the payment page and complete the transaction. PNR number and ticket confirmation will be obtained on the screen and on e -mail/SMS. Other main points of the new rules will only be able to travel 4 passengers in a PNR on Tatkal ticket. No tariff discount will apply for Tatkal tickets, that is, the total amount must be paid. It would be mandatory to keep a valid identity card with you at the time of the journey, otherwise the journey would not be considered valid. Why were the rules changed?
