Why is it difficult to book Tatkal tickets?
The train is the most preferred option for travel in India. Especially, if we talk about long-distance travel. In such a situation, railway seats are limited, but the number of passengers increases. Therefore, on the busiest routes, booking gets full months in advance and there is a rush for Tatkal tickets as well.

Why Tatkal tickets cannot be booked?
Most people log in as soon as the Tatkal window opens. They also have to face problems like the site not working or errors. Many times you complete the entire process, but the matter gets stuck at the time of payment. By the time your issue is resolved, all the tickets are booked.

The trick to book Tatkal ticket
Tatkal booking in AC coach is done at 10 am and in sleeper at 11 am. Many people wait till 10 am to log in. But, as soon as 10 o'clock there is heavy traffic on the IRCTC site. To avoid this, you can adopt some tricks.

Always log in to the IRCTC site 5 to 10 minutes before booking the Tatkal ticket.

Before booking a Tatkal ticket, you can also create a master list by going to MyProfile.

This saves the time of giving other information including the name, age, and gender of the passengers.

After the master list, a travel list also has to be made, which is available inside the master list itself.

In this, details of the journey have to be given. Such as date of travel, from where to where, etc.

After providing travel details, you get the option of payment through debit/credit card, internet banking, and UPI.

You can also use a railway wallet as other payment options take time to complete.
