Since Tatkal booking has become a sort of gold mine for the touts and their supporters in the railways who charge amounts equal to or sometimes greater than ticket value,and that ordinary people cannot book it by PC or laptop either because behind the excuse of too much rush at the gateway...the tickets are sold virtually in no despite one may be at the counter of the railway booking...the booking through SMS might have nailed these blood suckers but for the courtesy of the railways who are reluctant in stopping this malpractice..May be one day the scam called tatkal railbooking scam when unearthed the people wud know the real facts...tatkal booking through SMS with validly registered phone wud have proved a boon for the people in journey
they shud concentrate on increasing no of trains...becoz if there are no tickets available then what is the use of this service...internet booking would be more convenient
So from Now there will be more shortage of tickets as some percentage of Total ticket will be kept for mobile ticketing and the waiting list will be on higher side...Good move from railway to increase the Revenue
