Current ticket booking facility
Indian Railways provides the facility of current ticket booking to the passengers traveling in the train. Under this facility, you can book a confirmed seat even after the train chart is ready.

Benefits of current ticket booking
Current ticket booking facility is a good option for those who plan to travel in a train shortly before its departure. Through current ticket, Indian Railways books those seats which remain vacant after chart preparation.

Fare and Time Limit
You have to pay less fare for current ticket as compared to general and Tatkal tickets. Charts are prepared four hours before the scheduled time of train departure.

Availability of Current Ticket
For this reason, you can book current ticket after the chart is prepared and 5 to 10 minutes before the departure of the train. On routes where there is more demand, you are less likely to get a current ticket. On the other hand, there is a higher chance of getting a current ticket on routes with less demand.
