Click any row to jump to that journey date. Each day slides the booking-open date forward by exactly one day too — that's the 60-day rule in action.

ℹ️

Most trains follow the current 60-day Advance Reservation Period (ARP), counted backward from the journey date, excluding the journey date itself. Booking opens at 8:00 AM IST on the opening day. Some special/premium trains may follow a different ARP — always confirm on the official IRCTC site before relying on this for a time-sensitive booking.

⚠️

Tatkal booking opens exactly one day before the journey date, counted from the train's originating station — not your boarding station. Agents cannot book during the first 30 minutes of the window (10:00–10:30 AM for AC, 11:00–11:30 AM for non-AC). Aadhaar-based OTP authentication is mandatory for online Tatkal bookings.
