Railway Knowledge: Crores of people travel daily by Indian Railways and prefer to travel by taking confirmed tickets to make their journey easier. For this every passenger makes reservation in the train. Normal and Tatkal tickets are available for reservation on the IRCTC website. But if the passengers are not able to make the booking on time, then even after this they get the option of getting the reservation done.
Indian Railways also issues current tickets and this facility is very useful during emergency. In which a confirmed ticket is available a few minutes before the departure of the train. It is available both online and offline. Many passengers will not be aware of this facility. Let us know how the current ticket is booked?
How to book current ticket?
Current tickets are issued before the departure of the train. In fact, many times the berths in the trains remain vacant and the availability of current tickets is available on both the IRCTC site and the ticket window 3-4 hours before their departure. Tickets can be booked directly on the website by giving information about travel details. At the same time, current tickets can also be booked from the unreserved ticket window at the railway station.
However, current ticket is available only if berths are available in the train. The special thing is that the current ticket is 10-20 rupees cheaper than the normal ticket. The discount price varies for different classes of travel.
What is the difference between confirmed and tatkal ticket?
Tatkal is a premium ticket booking facility, in which a confirmed train ticket is taken by paying an additional charge. It is always booked at the scheduled time by the Railways before starting the journey. On the other hand, if seats are left in the train before the departure of the train, then the current ticket can be booked at the current normal rate.
Confirmed ticket can be given after preparation of reservation chart. And its method is the current ticket counter. It works in exactly the same way as reservation counters do. The job of the current ticket counter is to make reservation of vacant seats before the departure of the train… so that there are no vacant seats left in the train. Let us tell you that this facility is done through both online and offline means.
