This will help genuine users get confirmed tickets during need.
The Railways was receiving a large number of complaints about Tatkal booking for a long time. All the seats used to get booked as soon as the tatkal booking window used to open. A major reason behind this is the gang of ticket brokers. The government has taken this step to overcome this problem and bring transparency to ticket booking.
