Can you check IRCTC ticket or Tatkal agent messages?

Yes — IRCTC & Train Ticket tool. Book tickets only at irctc.co.in or the official IRCTC app — never through agents who ask for UPI payment via SMS links. Fake 'Tatkal confirmation', refund, and cancellation messages with payment links are extremely common, especially during festival season. Verify PNR status only on the official site.
