illegal Software To Trick Tatkal Booking Under CBI Scanner
A large number of online software that were used by travel agents to trick the Tatkal booking system have come under the scanner of the CBI during its inquiry against its techie who had developed a similar system, the use of such software is illegal as per rules of IRCTC.
During the investigation against its programmer, Ajay Garg, the agency had noticed large number of software that were easily available online for a price. They were being used to trick the railway ticketing system by speeding up the booking process and allowing the purchase of multiple tickets simultaneously.
The CBI suspects that similar illegal software as the one developed by Mr. Garg could be in circulation among travel agents, and some of these illegal software could be bought from the online market easily.
these software work on the “auto fill” system. The details of a large number of passengers are entered and kept ready even before Tatkal bookings open on the IRCTC website.
These software speed up the PNR generating process by bypassing the IRCTC captcha and allowing login with multiple IDs. This helps the users to book a large number of tickets can be done simultaneously at the single click of the mouse.

A common complaint of passengers is that by the time they enter details on the IRCTC website or complete the booking process, seats under the tatkal quota gets full within minutes of the start of booking.
Ticket bookings for the tatkal quota open at 10 am for air-conditioned coaches and 11 am for non-air-conditioned coaches for trains departing the next day. Under this quota, a fixed number of seats in each coach are sold at a premium by the railways to travellers who need tickets urgently.
