Tatkal Tickets Can Now Be Booked And Paid For Later- Know How To Avail The Offer

As with other e-tickets, the IRCTC has rolled out this Book now and Pay later facility for even tickets booked under tatkal quota, the announcement in this regard was made on Wednesday. The payment provider of IRCTC, Anduril Technologies, said users can now book tatkal tickets and pay via either of the mode i.e cash, debit or credit card and ask for delivery of railway ticket at their doorstep.

This new facility of Book Now and Pay Later is expected to rule out transaction failure as most of the time even after the amount for the ticket gets deducted, the ticket is not issued to the user for a number of reasons.

The railway portal is reported to process as many as 1,30,000 tatkal transactions on a daily basis. And most of the tickets under the quota are booked as soon as the window for it opens.
