The IRCTC , Indian Railways Online Ticket Booking has proposed that web service agents would not be allowed to book tatkal tickets from 8 am to 9 am, as well as any ticket for the first one hour when the advance 90 day reservation of any train opens up.
“Similarly, when the Tatkal booking for a particular train opens a day in advance, web agents will again not be allowed to book e-tickets for the first hour. We hope these steps will take care of most of the complaints that have come to the ministry’s notice.”
Sources from Itz Cash, Suvidhaa and Done Card informed that around 100,000 web service agents have been impacted by this move.
ITZ Cash Card accounted for 894,980 transactions on IRCTC in June 2010, while Done Card accounted for 164,176 and I Cash Card accounted for 243,874.
In total, they accounted for 1,303,030 transactions, around 14.68 percent of the total IRCTC transactions in June.
These companies have franchise networks, and rail ticketing accounts for a substantial proportion of their business. By way of a compromise, they have suggested that a certain quote be reserved for online ticketing initially.
