Indian
Railways have taken various measures to facilitate access to general as
well as Tatkal reservation by common man. Accordingly, more than 2900
computerized Passenger Reservation System (PRS) locations have been
opened and facility of booking through internet has also been provided.
However, during peak rush periods when the demand outstrips the
availability, some cases of black marketing of railway tickets by touts
come to notice at the time of surprise inspections and preventive
checks conducted at reservation offices. During the period from April
2012 to June 2012, large numbers of checks were conducted during which
930 unauthorized agents/touts were apprehended/prosecuted.
In order to reduce the scope of cornering of tickets by touts and also
to balance the load on the computerized PRS as well as on internet, with
effect from 10.07.2012, the timing of opening of reservation of Tatkal
tickets has been changed to 1000 hours on the previous day of journey
instead of 0800 hours as per earlier provision. These changes have
resulted in even distribution of load on PRS and internet and better
availability of Tatkal as well as general tickets on the opening days of
reservation on internet.
