Railway Ticket Booking Rule Change: Indian Railways has made a big change in the rules of Tatkal ticket booking, giving relief to common passengers. Now at the beginning of Tatkal ticket booking, the first 30 minutes will be for the common passengers only. During this time no agent or third party will be able to book platform tickets. At 10:00 am, when booking of AC quota starts and at 11:00 pm, only the common people will be able to book tickets for half an hour. This step of the railway has been taken to bring transparency in ticket booking and to stop the arbitrariness of the agenda. Till now it used to be that as soon as Tatkal ticket booking started, all the tickets were finished in a few minutes. Many agents and third party apps used to book many tickets simultaneously.
Railway passengers will stop exploitation
The common people could not get tickets and they had to buy tickets from the agent by paying more money under compulsion. Many times there were complaints of selling tickets in black, but now under the new Railway rule, common passengers will get a chance to book tickets first. This will benefit those people who book tickets themselves through IRCTC website or app. Another major change from this decision is that now special attention is being paid to digital security during ticket booking. Railways have told that now the entire booking process will be monitored with the help of Artificial Intelligence. If someone tries to book a suspicious activity or a ticket from the board, then it will be identified immediately and action will also be taken on it. This ticket booking can be made even more secure and transparent.
This step of railway will make the path easier
This change of Railways is part of its digital transformation and priority policy to the general public. This will ensure that everyone gets a chance to book tickets and get a chance to equalize. Also, agents who used to occupy tickets till now and sell them at expensive prices. Their grip will now be weak. This will also prevent ticket blacking and illegal recovery. This decision of the railway has been highly appreciated by the common passengers. People believe that this will give them the right opportunity to book tickets directly without any agent. Especially during the holidays and festivals, when there is more demand for Tatkal tickets. Then this rule will prove to be very beneficial. Overall, this decision of the Railways is a big step towards increasing the convenience of passengers and making the booking system honest.
