Be careful in 'Premium Tatkal' booking, otherwise, it will cost a thousand
Indian rail travel may be more expensive than you need. Recently, Railways has started premium instant service to increase their earnings and to provide ticket facility to the needy. Premium instant service is also available along with Tatkal service, the only difference is that only Tatkal tickets are available at many times the price of Tatkal tickets.
The Railways recently sold half of those tickets under dynamic pricing along the lines of air tickets, reducing the number of Tatkal tickets. So, if a normal AC two-tier ticket from New Delhi to Allahabad costs you from about 1100 to 1200, it takes between 1400 to 1500 to take it on instant booking.
At the same time, if you do not have a hand in the sheepish book of instant booking, then at the same time the premium can immediately woo you. If your journey is very important, then you can book premium Tatkal tickets. However, more care needs to be exercised in booking these tickets as the price of these tickets increases until the last second of booking the tickets.
