Booking to Tatkal
Tickets & Measures to Avoid Misuse of Tatkal Scheme
On
Indian Railways, reserved accommodation including Tatkal accommodation can be
booked through computerised Passenger Reservation System (PRS) on first come
first served basis. During peak rush periods/days when demand outstrips
the availability, reserved accommodation especially in higher classes and on
popular routes gets exhausted within short duration of opening of
reservation. However, during lean periods, on non-popular and
lower classes, the accommodation remains available for longer duration. The
phenomenon is more relevant for Tatkal where limited accommodation is
earmarked. This happens as the available limited accommodation is accessed
simultaneously through more than 10,300 counters at 3465 computerised Passenger
Reservation Centers as well as through internet.
To avoid misuse of Tatkal Scheme, there are some inbuilt features in Tatkal
scheme which includes provision of not granting refund on cancellation of
confirmed Tatkal tickets except in case of certain special circumstances
indicated in the scheme, not allowing any modification of Tatkal ticket, etc.
Some additional steps have also been taken to facilitate the passengers and to
avoid the misuse, some of which are:-
i.
Staggering of the
timings of reservation under Tatkal scheme.
ii.
Captcha implementation
in Registration, Login and Booking page to check fraudulent booking through
automation software.
iii. Imposition of minimum
time limit before proceeding for payment gateway as well as after making
payment while booking tickets through internet.
iv.
Making OTP(one time
password) compulsory for all net Banking Payment options.
v. Disabling authorised
agents to book Tatkal tickets during first half an hour of opening of
reservation.
To keep a check on the activities of touts, preventive as well as regular
checks are conducted jointly/individually by Vigilance, Security and Commercial
Departments, and the action against the culprits is taken as per provisions of
Section 143 of Railways Act, 1989.
