Tatkal tickets are booked in emergencies and cancellation are also under extreme emergencies. Non refund on cancellation further add salt to the wound. There is always wait list in tatkal also. So railways never loses any thing. Railways must consider it. If the seat of tatkal goes vacant after cancellation, only then railways should forfeit the refund of tatkal tickets. more
I am agreed with Mr. Srivastava and also request Railway Minister Please allow some rebate for senior citizen in tatkal tickets like other tickets. more
Recently I also had the same experience when booking Tatkal ticket. Though IRCTC web site was quite fast but when redirected to payment gateway it take unusually long time and finally when come back to IRCTC site it shows WL 42 instead of available 60 when start booking. There is still some loop holes in the system. Why this happening during Tatkal booking period only? Even now agents are able to give you Tatkal tickets confirmed though they are not eligible to do so. There should be outsider & independent IT audit at regular intervals of IRCTC site and Dept of Railway should throw out the culprits. There may be high level nexus in this process. I fully agree with Mr Anil Srivastava regarding cancellation of Tatkal ticket. There should be at least 40 to 50% refund on cancellation. more
I fully agree with Shri Anil Srivastava, Railway is looting helpless middle class and lower middle class passengers, who are used to travel by train. There is absolutely no logic in deducting heavy cancellation charges. more
While booking tatkal tickets it shows that 40 or 50 seats are avilable, but when tickets come out, it shows w/L ticket. Why? When comes W/L ticket it should show, otherwise system should not booked ticket more
