Do you have trouble in booking tatkal tickets every time? Do you want ticket booking to be fast and safe? Indian Railways has now made Aadhaar Linking mandatory to make TATKAL ticket booking safe and to prevent fake booking. The advantage of this is that agents will not be able to book tickets in the first 30 minutes, which will give more opportunity to the common passengers.
