IRCTC has announced a new facility to online Tatkal Users. Now we can book Tatkal ticket online first and pay later through the new payment option Pay on Delivery (PoD). Under this new scheme IRCTC passengers who book their tickets online can receive their confirmed Tatkal ticket at their door steps.
The Indian Railways (IRCTC) has teamed up with the Anduril Technologies Pvt Ltd to provide door step delivery process. Until now the Pay on Delivery option is only available for booking General reservations.
The use of payment gateway will make passengers book their Tatkal ticket with in few seconds. IRCTC reportedly books over 130,000 Tatkal transactions every day via the standard online payment gateways where the users have to pay first after the Tatkal quota opens.
Anurag Bajpai, CEO at Anduril Technologies said, “Pay on delivery (PoD) for Tatkal tickets is going to be a huge benefit to for millions of train travellers who need to book under the Tatkal quota. Users already understand that every second is precious while booking a train ticket under Tatkal and we are confident that the option to book first, pay later will find significant adoption among users.”

Anduril Technologies provide PoD service to over 4000+ pin codes across the country. In the case of the cancellation of the ticket before the delivery, the users have to pay the cancellation charges and delivery charges.
