How to Book 4 Passengers in 1 Tatkal PNR Without Errors
Complete tutorial on managing multiple passenger profiles, berth selection priorities, and auto-upgradation settings during Tatkal booking.
1. The Maximum Passenger Rule in Tatkal
Under official railway rules, a maximum of 4 passengers per PNR is permitted in Tatkal bookings (compared to 6 in general bookings). Trying to add 5 passengers throws an immediate validation error.
2. The Danger of Manual Data Entry for 4 People
Typing names, ages, gender, and berth preferences for 4 travelers manually takes at least 45 to 60 seconds. Pre-populating this data using autofill tools takes under 0.2 seconds.
3. Berth Preferences: What to Select?
During Tatkal rush, do NOT restrict your booking with strict conditions like 'Book only if all berths are allotted in same coach'. These conditions cause booking cancellations if adjacent seats run out.
