Many people are now planning to go to their hometown or to visit their relatives as the summer vacation started. At this time it also becomes very difficult to get a train ticket. In this case, there is an option to book through an instant ticket.
Instant tickets can be booked 24 hours in advance. But it is also very difficult to get an instant ticket on a railway that has a lot of passengers. That’s why travelers hit the agent several times for ticket bookings.
You can easily book instant tickets by following some tips on IRCTC's website. For this, you need to use the IRCTC app and the master list feature. You can download the IRCTC app from the Google Play Store.

Timing is very important when booking an instant ticket. This increases the chances of getting an instant ticket using the master list feature. To use the master list feature, you first need to download the IRCTC app, open it and log in.
After that, you have to select the option of My Master List from the options given in the app. This allows the traveler to fill in all the information about his journey and save it. Instant booking in AC starts from 10 a.m. and instant booking in Sleeper from 11 a.m.
Install the app 1 or 2 minutes before the instant booking starts and log in. After that select the route of the journey and add complete information to it using the master list.
