IRCTC’s Hidden Hacks: How to Get Tatkal Tickets Easily

IRCTC’s Hidden Hacks: How to Get Tatkal Tickets Easily

IRCTC’s Hidden Hacks: Booking Tatkal tickets on IRCTC can be a panicking task due to the demand and availability. But with the right tactics, you can have success in booking Tatkal tickets. In this article, I will give you some secret hacks to book your Tatkal tickets easier and faster.


1. Login Before it is Time to Book Tatkal Tickets

Tatkal tickets go live at 10 AM for AC classes and 11 AM for sleeper classes. To avoid possible delays, log onto your IRCTC account 5 to 10 minutes prior to the opening window. Doing this ensures that you are able to proceed without delay.

2. Save Your Passenger Details Before Booking

Instead of entering passenger details during the booking, your IRCTC profile allows you to save passenger details beforehand. This reduces the time in entering forms, allowing you a great chance of taking the confirmed ticket.


3. Use Multiple Devices or Browsers

Using multiple devices would benefit you greatly by opening more than one Tatkal booking attempt at a time. You can also use different browsers if you have them and would like to.

4. Use Faster Payment Methods

Payment delays could cause a loss of your ticket. Therefore it is advisable to use UPI, net banking, or IRCTC’s e wallet payment method because they are all quicker and are processed quicker compared to credit/debit card payments that require OTP and take longer than 1 second.

5. Travel on lesser used trains and routes

Try not to book Tatkal tickets on trains that have high demand. If possible, check for alternate routes or travel on a train that has low demand and therefore a better possibility of getting a confirmed ticket.

6. Authenticate Aadhaar for Priority Booking

Aadhaar verification has now been implemented by IRCTC, which allows a verified user to access priority booking. Simply linking your Aadhaar number to your IRCTC account will dramatically improve your chances of success.

7. Do Not Refresh the Page

Doing so can get you logged out from IRCTC and evaporate the possibility of completing your booking. Use the “Modify Search/ Search Again” option, to update the details without being logged out.
