Agents charging huge amount for tatkal/emergency tickets

Reported on July 7, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #6553

If you are waiting from morning 2 am to 8 am on queue for the tatkal booking to start and hope to get ticket for some emergencies then you are stupid! You will never get a tatkal ticket. I paid approx 700 to 900 extra per ticket in past few weeks for getting tatkal booked by travel agents. As a sum i paid Rs 6000- 7000 bribe to those agents who share the money with railway booking staff and get reservation confirmed at last minute before the chart is prepared. Anyone can guess that this kind of corruption is not possible without involvement of TOP guys in railway.
