No Aadhaar, no Tatkal: Railways make OTP verification mandatory for online ticket booking; Here's what you must do

Indian Railways will make Aadhaar OTP verification mandatory for online Tatkal ticket bookings from July 15. This is to ensure fair access and prevent misuse. Passengers need to link their Aadhaar to their IRCTC profile. No bulk bookings will be allowed in the first 30 minutes of Tatkal bookings. Railways urge passengers to update Aadhaar details to avoid inconvenience.
