Passengers still lagging behind in the race for confirmed tickets

According to the railways, on an average 2.25 lakh passengers try to book tatkal tickets from IRCTC’s online platform every day. But as soon as the booking opens, the tickets get filled so fast that most passengers get disappointed in the very first minute.

Data from May 24 to June 2 shows that in the first minute of opening of AC class booking, only 5,615 tickets could be booked, while the potential number of tickets was 1.08 lakh. Within ten minutes, more than 67,000 tickets were booked, which is 62.5 percent of the total Tatkal tickets. In the non-AC class too, about 66 percent of the tickets were sold in the first 10 minutes.

This makes it clear that the demand is very high and users already in the system often outnumber the rest. There is also a large number of bot accounts involved in black marketing of Tatkal tickets.

13 crore accounts, only 1.2 crore Aadhaar linked

IRCTC has more than 13 crore active users, but only 1.2 crore of these users are verified by Aadhaar. Railways has now started investigating the remaining accounts. Considering about 20 lakh accounts as suspicious, their Aadhaar and other documents are being checked. Railways says that the accounts found to be fake will be deactivated.

Those who link Aadhaar will get priority in booking

The railways plan is that users who link their IRCTC account with Aadhaar will get priority in the first 10 minutes of opening of Tatkal ticket booking. That is, the system will first identify them and then proceed with the booking process. This will curb those who book tickets through bots and scripts and the system will become more transparent and fair.

The new system will be implemented soon

The aim of the railways is to make ticket booking more secure and transparent through technology. The e-Aadhaar based system will be implemented soon. After this, it will be necessary for those booking Tatkal tickets to get their Aadhaar verified. This will weaken the hold of touts in online booking and the chances of genuine needy passengers getting confirmed tickets will increase.

Under this change, the Railway Ministry has increased the distance covered for booking unreserved tickets from the app. Passengers’ time will be saved , after this change, you can book tickets even if you are far away from the station from which you have to start the journey. This discount available in unreserved tickets will save the time of the passengers. Passengers will get rid of long queues to get tickets. Actually, till now you could book unreserved tickets through the app from 2 km away from the starting station.

Due to this change , now the distance of two km has been increased to 20 km. It has come to the notice of the Railway Board that when there is a distance of two km from the station, many times there is a problem of mobile network disappearing. Because of this, passengers could not book train tickets even if they wanted to. For this reason, this distance has now been increased from 2 km to 20 km by the ministry.

What is the new system:

Under the new system, for non-suburban classes, unreserved tickets can be booked from a distance of 20 kilometers instead of five kilometers. Apart from this, this distance has been increased from 2 km to 5 km for booking tickets for suburban section. After the introduction of this facility, now the passengers will get rid of long queues for tickets after reaching the station.
