Booking an Indian Railways ticket can be tough, especially at the last minute. However, the Tatkal scheme through IRCTC allows bookings a day in advance. 

Here are our tips that will help you book without any struggles. Let’s dive in and find out how.

The earlier you book, the better if you want a booked and confirmed Tatkal ticket; book at least 2 days before the departure. 

Use several devices like your computer, laptop, or smartphone to book your ticket for a better chance at confirmation and a guaranteed travel itinerary. 

Keep all necessary documents available that are required for booking. Keep records of your co-passengers as well to make the whole process efficient. 

A faster internet will make your booking faster. Make sure the connection is working efficiently for easier booking. 

Try to look for non-busy hours and less popular trains to get an easier booking that will make your chances for a confirmed ticket highly probable. 

Try to be flexible on date and time and book for weekdays, not weekends, as these days have higher demand. 

Lower berths are less popular among consumers and often reserved for senior citizens, increasing the likelihood of getting a confirmed ticket.

Booking can test your patience, but staying calm is key. Keep trying, and you'll eventually secure a ticket.
