I have some confusion relating Tatkal booking.
I wish to buy tickets on 4 June for Mumbai Chennai express at 6 PM. I will be going directly to the counter, and will be standing in line early morning to get the first chance.
There is an issue however, i'm not able to understand the new 24 hours system. My questions are as follows:
1....
more... Is the 24 hour time from the Originating station or the Boarding station?
2. So for a ticket at 6PM of 4th June do i have to stand in line by 10 AM on 3rd June?
3. I will be 18 in two weeks. Will I be barred from booking the ticket with my ID proof as a minor?
4. How much Waitlist can be confirmed in tatkal? For an AC 3 tier, cos there won't be any refunds.
Please help. Thanks.
