The only time when you get a partial or full refund is when the train is delayed by 3 hours or if the train has been diverted or if the coach has not been attached to the train. This is because the cancellation of Tatkal Ticket has 100% cancellation charge and you do not get any refund for the cancellation of confirmed ticket. This is one major change in the new system and if you have a confirmed Tatkal Ticket then you must brace for the impact if you need to cancel the ticket.

Apart from this, you must know that the charges are dependent on the distance and there is a range of charges given in each class. These were the charges for Tatkal Booking that you would have to pay in addition to the ticket amount.
