On the Swatantrata Senani Express, on November 16, 2019, the Tatkal bookings lasted for just a little over two minutes, while on February 8, it lasted for more than an hour.
Similarly, on the Sampoorna Kranti Express, Tatkal tickets were available for a little over four minutes on November 16, 2019, while on February 8, 2020, they were available for 18 minutes. We have plugged all the issues that we had with the IRCTC website and also nabbed most of those who were top operators of the softwares," the RPF DG said at a press briefing.With the arrests, Kumar said most of these illegal softwares, which used to generate business of ₹50 crore-100 crore annually, have been blocked.īooking for Tatkal tickets opens 24 hours before the day of travel.The IRCTC's ticket booking section reflects the impact of the railways action as it shows a jump in the availability of Tatkal tickets across the board.įor example, on October 26, 2019, Tatkal tickets were available for two minutes for the Magadh Express, while for February 10, they were available for over 10 hours after the bookings opened on February 9, 2020. The railways does not allow agents to book Tatkal tickets and over the past two months, the RPF has nabbed around 60 illegal agents who were booking tickets through these softwares, making it virtually impossible for others to get Tatkal bookings."As of today, I can say that not one ticket is being booked through illegal softwares.
The booking process for a general user usually takes around 2.55 minutes, but those using these softwares could do it in just around 1.48 minutes, they said.
