The rules of Cancellation is depended on whether your ticket is confirmed or not. You can check the status of your ticket by checking Irctc PNR status. So here we have two cases a confirmed ticket and a waiting list.
According to the rules of Indian railways there is no refund on cancellation of a confirmed Tatkal ticket i.e if you will cancel your confirm tatkal ticket , you will not get any refund, your full money will be lost. But its a good practice that you cancel your ticket, if you are not traveling. As other passenger who are traveling with waiting list will get there seat fast.
Irctc gives refunds on the cancellation of tatkal ticket but that depends on the status of your ticket and the time of the cancellation. First thing that you must know that e-ticket can be cancelled online only with your account through which you have booked the ticket. And you can only cancel your ticket before the chart preparation.
Full refund will be given after deducting clerkage charges per passenger for the Waitlisted tatkal ticket. This ticket cancellation will be done before the chart preparation. If you have booked through Irctc and your complete ticket is in waiting list after the chart preparation. Then your ticket will be auto cancel and the refund will be proceed according to the existing Railway rules. So you can not travel with that ticket, if you will travel with that ticket, you will be assumed traveling without ticket.
Also Check :
You can also cancel your ticket partially, but at least one passenger whose id is printed on ticket should travel. If you cancel the ticket of the person whose id proof is attached on the ticket, full ticket will be cancelled.
This partial cancellation is needed in some cases like , when you have booked ticket for 4 passenger and out of four two ticket is confirmed. And as confirmation of other two is not sure. So you can cancel the rest wait listed ticket, you will get full refund after ducting some charges.
As such the refund will be auto initiated by the system itself. But in case if you did not get the refund you can file the TDR from your account. They will sort the problem and help you getting your refunds.

Yes you will get refund after deducting some charges

You can request on Irctc, but there is very less chance of refund in this case
I have booked tatkal e-ticket yesterday but it wasn't confirmed at time of departure also, it was showing waiting. So it means that it is cancelled automatically and if it is so, then will i get the refund automatically or i have to file some request with the irctc to initiate the refun?
And in how much time i will get my refund in my account?
