New Delhi, Dec 5: In a major move to curb misuse of the high-demand Tatkal ticketing system and ensure fairer access for genuine passengers, Indian Railways has made One-Time Password (OTP) verification compulsory for all Tatkal bookings, whether made online or at reservation counters. The measure, aimed at tightening security and increasing transparency, is being rolled out in phases across the national network.

According to a statement issued by Indian Railways, “Tatkal tickets will now be issued only after authentication of a system-generated One-Time Password (OTP). This OTP will be sent to the mobile number furnished by the passenger at the time of booking, and the ticket will be issued only after successful validation.”
