TATKAL SCHEME

With a view to provide reservation to those passengers who have to undertake journey at short notice and to save such passengers from the clutches of unscrupulous elements/touts, Tatkal Reservation Scheme was initially introduced in December, 1997. Initially this scheme was available only in around 110 trains and mainly in Sleeper Class.

At that time an extra coach was to be attached for this purpose. This scheme was thoroughly revised in August 2004 and some modifications were made thereafter from time to time. The salient features of this scheme as on date are as under:-

a. Tatkal booking for AC classes opens at 1000 hours on the previous day of journey excluding date of journey from the train originating station. For non­AC. classes, Tatkal booking struts at 11.00 hours on the previous day of journey excluding date of journey from the train originating station.

For example, if train is to depart from the originating station on the second of the month, the Tatkal quota for that particular train shall open at 10.00/11.00 hours on the first of the month.

b. The reservation under this scheme is available only upto the time of preparation of first reservation charts. At the time of preparation of these charts, the vacant Tatkal accommodation is released to the RAC/waitlisted passengers and no Tatkal charges are realised from such passengers.

c. The facility of change of name is not permitted on the bookings made under Tatkal scheme.

d. No duplicate Tatkal tickets are issued. Duplicate Tatkal tickets are issued only in exceptional cases on payment of foll fare including Tatkal charges.

e. The reservation under this scheme can be sought by full fare paying passengers only and no passenger holding concessional ticket is allowed to avail reservation under this scheme.

f. In case of tickets booked under Tatkal scheme, during the journey, one of the passengers booked on that ticket is required to produce any one of the prescribed proof of identity mentioned below, failing which all the passengers booked on that ticket are considered as travelling without ticket and charged accordingly:-

i. Voter Photo Identity Card issued by Election Commission of India.

ii. Passport

iii. PAN Card issued by Income Tax Department

iv. Driving Licence issued by RTO

v. Photo Identity Card issued by Central /State Government

vi. Student Identity Card with photograph issued by recognized School/ College for their Students

ix. Unique identification Card “Aadhar” including e-Aadhar & m­-Aadhar.

x. Photo identity cards having serial number issued by Public Sector Undertakings of State/Central Government, District Administrations, Municipal bodies and Panchayat Administrations & Bar Councils of India.

Note: If a passenger shows the Aadhaar/Driving Licence from the ‘Issued Documents’ section by logging into his/her DigiLocker account, the same is also considered as valid proof of identity.

g. Keeping in view the short Advance Reservation Period and with a view to make this scheme economically unviable for unscrupulous elements/touts, refund rules of the scheme have been made stringent in which no refund is granted on the confirmed Tatkal tickets.

However, full refund of fare and Tatkal charges is granted on the tickets booked under Tatkal scheme under certain circumstances like non-attachment of coach, cancellation of train, as explained below:-

i. If the train is delayed by more than 3 hours at the journey originating point of the passenger & not the boarding point if the passenger’s journey originating point and boarding point are different.

ii. If the train is to run on a diverted route and passenger is not willing to travel.

iii. If the train is to run on diverted route and boarding station or the destination or both the stations are not on the diverted route.
