With one of the world’s largest train networks, Indian Railways serves more than 2 crore passengers daily. Indian Railways launched the Tatkal Reservation programme in 1997 to assist customers travelling on short notice and safeguard them from deceitful individuals or touts. Each train has a set number of seats designated for the Tatkal quota.

The ability to assign Tatkal lodgings in various classes has been granted to Zonal Railways, who will do so by considering the availability of accommodations and the utilisation rates in each class throughout the preceding fiscal year.

The accommodation so designated, however, may never exceed the maximum of 30% of the coach’s capacity, depending on how this quota was used over the previous six months.

Around 3.05 lakh seats/berths, or roughly 20.16% of the total capacity, are available for booking each day under the Tatkal or Premium Tatkal scheme out of the total daily capacity of approximately 15.14 lakh berths/seats.
