Confirmed (cnf) means Tickets Booked with the Seat Number.
But Railways grants refund of full fare of confirmed Tatkal tickets in some cases and in case of e-tickets, the customer has to use the Ticket Deposit Receipt or TDR facility provided by IRCTC website.
Railways has on its website listed rules where its grant full refund of Tatkal tickets:
1) If the train is delayed by more than 3 hours at the journey originating point of the passenger
