Premium Tatkal:-
A new booking system called Premium Tatkal was introduced on October 1, 2014, in which, half of the tickets on certain trains will be dynamically priced. These tickets can be purchased by passengers only online, not by out. To begin with, the Indian Railways has implemented this system for some 80 trains. The same rules apply, otherwise, for both Premium Tatkal and Tatkal tickets.
