How to Confirm Tatkal Train Tickets [IRCTC] :Indian Railway

Tatkal ticket is the only way when you have to travel by train in emergency. It can be booked 2 days before departure date of traveling. Problem is that get it that you don’t get Confirmed Tatkal Tickets as quota is less.


Not just the less quota is responsible for it but also there are many issues like Server Failure (due to load or done deliberately), Mass booking by IRCTC Agents and moreover Luck. Here, I will share some tricks using scripts and addons by which you can get aconfirmed tatkal ticket on the go.

Most of the Time is consumed filling up form details so, we’ll try to minimize that first. Tatkal Train ticket booking starts at 8 AM. So, you need to gear up early (say 7:30 AM) to make all the settings to make form filling and bank transaction speedier.

What all you need to get Confirmed Tatkal Tickets

1. Firefox browser. Download from the bottom right button saying “Get Firefox”
2. Install Autofill Addon and restart Firefox.

Presuming that you are following the procedure before 8 AM. Login to IRCTC website and click on Quick Book under Services Menu.



1. Fill up all the details as per your travel plan.
2. Enter the following script in address bar and press Enter to enable right click on page.

javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)
3.Right click on any text field on the page and select "Add complete form as profile".

If name is not edited, form profile will be saved as www.irctc.co.in.
All set, now when the clock reads 8:00:00 AM, click on Quick Book. Right click on anywhere on page and select

“Fill out this form>>www.irctc.co.in”



You may have to run the script mentioned above again if the page prompts saying “Sorry, You don’t have permission to right click”.

What does CKWL Tatkal Ticket means?
In rare chance, it may happen that while moving on to bank webpage, you are shown Availability but till you come back, the ticket provided has status CKWL.

CKWL means the Waiting List in Tatkal Quota which differs from GNWL (General Waiting List). In my case, CKWL 5 was cleared up within 2 hours of booking but it may vary train to train.
