Railway Ministry has said that only those users will be able to book online tatkal tickets through IRCTC website and app from 1st of next month who have authenticated their account with Aadhar. The step has been taken to ensure fair and transparent access to tatkal tickets and to safeguard the interest of passengers.
Indian Railways has announced key modifications in the tatkal ticket booking system. According to the new scheme, aadhaar-based OTP authentication will be mandatory for online tatkal bookings from 15th of July this year. Tatkal tickets booked at computerised Passenger Reservation System counters and through authorised agents will require OTP authentication sent to the mobile number provided by the user at the time of booking.
