NEW DELHI: From July 1, only users who have authenticated their account with Aadhaar will be able to book Tatkal tickets through its website and app. To make the process more fool-proof, the use of OTP for Aadhaar authentication will be introduced from July 15, the railway ministry said on Wednesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The new norms have been notified to check malpractices by agents and ensure that only genuine passengers benefit from the Tatkal scheme. The ministry has urged people to ensure Aadhaar linkage with their IRCTC user profiles to avoid inconvenience. Even to buy paper tickets at rail ticket windows from July 15, passengers or their representatives will have to provide a mobile number on which an OTP will be sent for verification purposes. 'Certain provisions have also been made to ensure that bots (or other software means) are not able to book tickets faster than genuine users,' a senior railway official said. As per the notification, authorised ticketing agents will not be permitted to book opening-day Tatkal tickets during the first 30 minutes of the booking window, a move aimed at preventing bulk bookings during this critical period. 'For AC classes, this restriction will apply from 10 am to 10.30 am, and for non-AC classes, from 11 am to 11:30 am,' it said. Around 2.2 lakh passengers book Tatkal tickets through the IRCTC website and app daily. An analysis of online Tatkal ticket booking patterns from May 24 to June 2 by the railways showed that on average 5,615 out of 1.1 lakh AC tickets were booked in the first minute after the window opened. Another 22,827 tickets were booked in the second minute. In the non-AC category, an average of around 1.2 lakh tickets were booked online per day. Of these, 4,724 tickets were booked in the first minute and 20,786 in the second minute.

Railways tightens Tatkal ticket norms; Aadhaar-based authentication made mandatory
With the objective of ensuring equitable access to Tatkal tickets and curbing misuse, Indian Railways on Wednesday (June 11, 2025) announced a series of modifications to the Tatkal ticket booking system. The new provisions include Aadhaar-based authentication as a prerequisite for online Tatkal bookings. 'Effective from July 1, Tatkal tickets booked through IRCTC's official website and mobile app will be available only to users authenticated with Aadhaar,' a spokesperson of the Ministry of Railways said. The spokesperson further stated that Aadhaar-based OTP authentication would become mandatory for all online Tatkal bookings from July 15. In addition to online transactions, the Ministry has also made provisions for offline Tatkal bookings. 'Tatkal tickets booked at computerised Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters and through authorised agents will require OTP authentication sent to the mobile number provided by the user at the time of booking,' the spokesperson said. This provision, too, will come into effect from July 15. In an effort to prevent bulk bookings during the critical opening window, Indian Railways has barred authorised ticketing agents from booking opening-day Tatkal tickets during the first 30 minutes of the respective booking windows. 'For AC classes, this restriction applies from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and for non-AC classes, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.,' the spokesperson said. These changes, the Ministry noted, are intended to strengthen user authentication mechanisms and ensure that the Tatkal quota benefits genuine passengers. The Railways has urged passengers to link their Aadhaar numbers with their IRCTC user profiles to avoid any inconvenience. Additionally, the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) and IRCTC have been instructed to implement the required system modifications and inform all Zonal Railways and relevant departments accordingly.
