Do you want to book your ticket on immediate basis and not
find the way how to get it? For your easiness railways start their software
called Tatkal Software for
their customers. Below are steps how you can book ticket online using the Tatkal
Software of railway.
Step 1: Register with IRCTC
Go to www.irctc.co.in and click Register at the top right.
Enter all the data, accept the conditions, and send. You will need it to verify
your account.
Step 2: Check your account
You will get an email with your username and password.
Before verifying your account, in addition to Rs. 100, you must pay the tax
that IRCTC charges if you use a different number. To do this, go to the IRCTC
website and log in with your username and password. A slightly strange page is
displayed. Click on multiple payment services, select your credit and debit
card, and click on Make Payment. Now you have a lifetime payment screen so you
can pay your 118 rupees.
Once paid, you can verify your account. To do this,
they send an OTP code to your mobile phone and email address and ask when
logging in again. Once verified, you will be capable of buying tickets online
without any problems.
Step 3: Book a ticket
Click on the train and then click on the Foreign Tourist
Reserve. A window appears warning you that you are booking a tourism fee.
Select a train and class, and then click Check availability and prices.
If the seats are vacant, you will need to check each
class for each train. If the completed train is not listed, everything will be
more comfortable, but it will not waste time, and this is not India.
Once you have selected the train and class you want,
click Book Now. You are now prompted for a username and password to continue.
From here, it is the normal booking process.
Different ways to Buy train ticket in India online
Option 1 | Book through IRCTC
In the web of IRCTC, you can book as a resident in India or
foreign tourists. If you book as a resident through your website, you need an
Indian telephone number and an Indian credit card.
The other possibility offered by the IRCTC website is to
book tourist quota tickets using a different telephone number and any credit or
debit card. You can book up to 6 tickets per month per person, for a maximum of
6 people.
The main benefit is that you can book tickets from your home
365 days in advance. The biggest drawback (in addition to the tourist quota's
disadvantages) is that you have to pay 100 rupees plus taxes for using a
foreign telephone, in addition to a fee of 200 rupees that they take out of the
sleeve.
The few situations in which a full refund of a Tatkal ticket is permitted are:
Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) offer
a ticket service that allows passengers to book tickets only one day before
travel. Tatkal tickets can be booked online from the IRCTC website. All classes
are allowed to book through Tatkal tickets except the first air conditioning
class and executive class. Tatkal reservations start at 10 am for AC class and
11 am for non-AC class one day before the actual date of travel.
If you cancel your Tatkal ticket and it is confirmed, no
refund will be given. However, on Indian Railways, a full refund will be given
for cancellation of a tatkal ticket in some circumstances.
1) When the departure point is different from the boarding
point of the passenger, and the train is delayed more than 3 hours at the
departure point of the passenger, not at the boarding point.
2) The train must travel on a deviated route, and passengers
are not willing to travel.
3) The train needs to go on a detour route and the boarding
station or destination or both stations are not on the detour route.
4) Leaving a coach who has been assigned Tatkal
accommodation and the passenger has not received accommodation of the same
class.
5) Passengers are accommodated on lower class and do not
want to travel. If the passenger travels in a lower class, the fare difference,
and, if applicable, the difference in the tutoring fee will also be refunded.
6) If the tatkal ticket is on hold, the amount will be
deducted, and the rest will be refunded to the customer. Partial cancellation
of tatkal electronic tickets is allowed.
