Railways are one of the most popular modes of transport in India, with millions of people traveling by train every day. During the festive season, the number of people traveling by train increases manifold. That's why getting a confirmed ticket these days is a challenging task.

While there is an option to book Tatkal to get a confirmed ticket, the process is not easy. Here are some tips on what to do to easily get confirmed train tickets at the Tatkal counter. Before booking Tatkal tickets, you should check your internet connection.
Internet
In Tatkal booking, you don't get a 1-2 minute window. In such a situation, if your internet connection is slow, the page will not load. You should check the internet beforehand and log in.
Tatkal Booking
Tatkal booking for AC coaches starts daily at 10 am and for sleeper coaches at 11 am. The right time to login is 2-3 minutes before the booking starts. IRCTC offers its customers a special feature called Master List.

All passenger details can be filled in before starting the booking process. This saves a lot of time while booking. During fast booking, you can also pay through UPI instead of credit or debit card. This saves time.
