MODIFICATION IN TATKAL BOOKING SYSTEM

Western Railway will be implementing an important modification in the Tatkal booking system in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Railway Board. Tatkal tickets will now be issued only after authentication of a system-generated one Time Password (OTP). This OTP will be sent to the mobile number furnished by the passenger at the time of booking and the ticket will be issued only after successful validation of the OTP.

According to press release issued by Chief Public Relations Officer, Western Railway, Shri Vineet Abhishek, OTP-based Tatkal authentication system was initially implemented in Train No. 12009/12010 Mumbai Central - Ahmedabad Shatabdi Express on 01st December 2025. Now, the OTP-based Tatkal authentication system has been extended to few more trains mentioned below with effect from 05th December 2025.

1.Train No. 12227/12228 Mumbai Central - Indore Duronto Express.

2.Train No. 12239 Mumbai Central - Hisar Duronto Express.

3.Train No. 12267/12268 Mumbai Central - Hapa Duronto Express.

4.Train No. 12297 Ahmedabad - Pune Duronto Express.

5.Train No. 12462 Sabarmati - Jodhpur Vande Bharat.

6.Train No. 12951 Mumbai Central – New Delhi Rajdhani Tejas.

7.Train No. 12953 Mumbai Central – Hazrat Nizamuddin AK Rajdhani Tejas Express.

8.Train No. 12957 Sabarmati – New Delhi Rajdhani Express.

The new system will be applicable for Tatkal bookings made through computerized PRS counters, authorized agents, IRCTC website and IRCTC mobile app. The objective of this change is to ensure transparent Tatkal bookings and to facilitate genuine passengers in getting better access to Tatkal tickets.

Passengers are advised to provide a valid, accessible mobile number at the time of booking to ensure smooth completion of the OTP verification process. Western Railway urges all passengers to take note of this important change.

IRCTC, MobiKwik Partner on E-Cash Payments for Tatkal Bookings

IRCTC, MobiKwik Partner on E-Cash Payments for Tatkal Bookings

This tatkal facility is available between 8am-12pm IST daily on IRCTC

In a bid to tackle the tatkal rush, payments app MobilKwik and IRCTC have joined hands to offer an alternative payment solution while booking tickets. Now, apart from paying via netbanking, credit cards, and other wallets, users can now opt to pay directly from their MobilKwik wallet while booking tatkal tickets.

MobilKwik claims that users can pay with the wallet within 2 seconds, whereas other modes of payment take five to ten times more time. This new e-cash payment introduction will eradicate the need to fill in card details, and wait for the bank to approve the transaction through authentication. Instead, IRCTC will instantly deduct the amount from your MobilKwik wallet without any authentication as a prerequisite.

Of course, for this to work, the user must have installed the app and have money in the wallet for seamless and fast payment. For those uninitiated, tatkal is a service provided by the Indian Railway to book emergency confirmed tickets one-day prior to travel. MobilKwik claims that over 15 percent daily ticket bookings for Indian Railways happen under tatkal, and the e-cash payment option helps in giving the user an added leverage to beat the rush.

This facility is available on the IRCTC website, and users can book their tickets using MobilKwik between 8am-12pm IST daily. "MobiKwik collaborated with Indian Railways to digitize payments on the IRCTC app and IRCTC FoodOnTrack app this year, and now we are powering payments for tatkal online, that will help users book tickets almost instantly. We are proud to support the largest rail network in Asia in their endeavor to digitize payments and provide the best payments experience to their users," Upasana Taku, Co-founder at MobiKwik said in a statement.

Last year, IRCTC made MobiKwik wallet as the first payment option on IRCTC's Connect Android App. IRCTC also partnered with Paytm in September this year to allow users to book train tickets through the payment app and website. It had even tied up with Paytm last year to enable e-catering payments.

Lucknow (LKO): Booking an e-ticket during rush tatkal hours can be easier with IRCTC Lite, a new facility launched by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).

To improve service and to reduce traffic and unnecessary hits during peak hours, IRCTC has launched IRCTC Lite during tatkal period which is from 10am to 12 noon. The new service is effective from 9:30am.

To make service faster, all the links, images, ads, services, features which are not helping or not required at the time of premium tatkal ticket booking have been removed from the home page.

“We launched it a month back and it is successful,” said Jt.GM-PR/IRCTC, Pradip Kundu.

In the first hour of Tatkal booking (10am to 11am) the earlier average booking before the introduction of the “IRCTC Lite” was around 48,000, which has now jumped to more than 58,000.

The earlier two hourly (10am to 12 noon) Tatkal booking average was around 83,000, which has now become more than 92,000 with the IRCTC Lite.

Agent login is not available during Tatkal period. For Agent cancellation a separate link is given on home page.

In the Services section the “Plan My Travel” is made more efficient and faster in fetching of “From” and “To” stations for Auto Complete Feature.

In “My Transactions” section “Cancelled history”, “TDR History” and “Refund Status of Cancelled Tickets” are not available and thus reduce the unnecessary hits to the site. Although the other facilities in this section like Booked History, Print E- Ticket, Cancel E-ticket / Refund, Refund Status of Failed Transactions are made available as before.

Similarly, in the User Profile the “Update profile”, “Master list of passenger”, “Passenger travel list” and in the General section the “Terms and Conditions”, “TDR procedure” are removed to make the site faster and easily accessible.

Priority to wait-listed Tatkal tickets in EQ

Priority to wait-listed Tatkal tickets in EQ

The railways have gone one step ahead in making the emergency quota (EQ) system more responsive and commuter-friendly by giving priority to wait-listed Tatkal tickets.

Henceforth, wait-listed tickets purchased from travel agents will not be considered for allotment of seats and berths under EQ, according to the new railway guidelines. This is aimed at preventing misuse of EQ and to ensure that its benefits reach needy commuters.

The directive follows a decision of the railways to make the EQ facility more commuter-friendly and to provide senior citizens and the needy priority during allocation of lower berths and to open a helpline. The EQ facility has so far been confined to stations from where trains originate, major stations and divisional headquarters.

Senior Divisional Railway Manager, Thiruvananthapuram, V.S. Sudheesh said the railways had received an overwhelming response from commuters for the initiative.

“Requests for EQ from the offices of elected representatives and officials have come down drastically all of a sudden, and the railways are getting requests from the needy now. We are acknowledging requests mailed to us (seniordcmtvc@ gmail.com),” he said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, officials have been directed to ensure that the warrant of precedence and guidelines on allocation of EQ are followed strictly. Mails are being checked regularly.

The helpline number, 0471-2326484, which is available from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays for EQ assistance will now be extended to Sundays soon, he added.
