With a view to further improve the delivery of Tatkal tickets to passengers, the Raliways Ministry has decided that with effect from July 10 booking of Tatkal ticket will start at 1000 hrs on the previous day of journey from train originating station instead of 0800 hrs at present.
No authorised agents, including agents of IRCTC and RTSAs/RTAs will be allowed to book Tatkal tickets from 1000 hrs to 1200 hrs.
The existing restriction of not allowing these agents booking of general tickets on the opening day from 0800 hrs to 1000 hrs will also continue, an official statement said.
