The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website app or external apps such as Paytm can be used to book tatkal train tickets on Indian Railways. Before buying a tatkal ticket, however, there are a few things to remember.

To begin with, tatkal tickets must be purchased at least 24 hours before the booked take-off time. People who want to fly on April 1, for example, must register on the morning of March 31 to buy their tickets. Tatkal ticket reservations for AC classes start at 10:00 a.m., while appointments for non-AC classes start at 11:00 a.m.

Tatkal tickets are charged at a rate of 10% of basic expenditure for second class and 30% of essential admission for all remaining classes. The base and greater distances traveled by the train along the journey are additional factors in the ticket price.

Here is how to book an IRCTC tatkal train ticket:

• It is prescribed that you log into the IRCTC site five to ten minutes before the start of the tatkal. For the tatkal, something like four people could be set up for a solitary PNR.
• To reserve a seat, enter your departure stage and destination, as well as the day you need to travel.
• Then choose ‘Tatkal’ as standard and click submit.
• For your preferred train, tap “Book Now”.
• From this moment, customers must complete data such as their name, maturity, etc.
• Select ‘Book only if confirmed spaces are granted’ from the drop-down menu.
• Fill in the Captcha on the screen.
• Finally, choose an installment choice and make an installment to keep a Tatkal ticket.
• Take note that customers will not be discounted if dropped.

Here is how to use the IRCTC app to book a tatkal train ticket:
