Big change in booking of Tatkal tickets
Let us tell you that, given the long-running rigging in the online Tatkal ticket system, recently the Railways has made a big change in the booking process of Tatkal tickets. Aadhaar-based OTP verification will be mandatory for Tatkal ticket booking from July 1. Aadhaar verification has been made mandatory for Tatkal train ticket booking from July 1, 2025. Through a directive issued on June 10, 2025, the Ministry of Railways has informed all railway zones that the purpose of this new requirement is “to ensure that the benefits of the Tatkal scheme reach the common end users.” Let us tell you that this rule of the government will apply to online booking, booking done through reservation counters and agents. Its purpose is to provide confirmed Tatkal tickets to the common people easily.
