PNR enquiry timings & Tatkal timings
PNR enquiry service is available from 1:30 AM to 11:30 PM IST, which is around 22 hours round the clock. The service is generally not available everyday for a couple of hours at mid-night, due to system maintainance activities by IRCTC. This service is even not available at official website during midnights, due to technical reasons. Tatkal booking is open from 10AM (IST). Tatkal tickets shall now be issued from 10:00 AM both online as well as over the counter. This greatly helped ease IRCTC website traffic at 8am, which is a peak hour but also at 10 A.M., by distributing the peak traffic into two different time-slots.If you are booking a regular ticket, ideal time for you is 8 O’clock in the morning. Do not even attempt to book it at 10 am as you will be competing with tatkal bookies. Adding to the good news, travel agents are not allowed to book tickets under tatkal scheme till 12:00 P.M., which is a fair policy.
