I am per se against too many quotas and subquotas, but there is no reason why EQ is not charged at least at par with tatkal tickets. Official journeys are paid for and for personal jounrey people still pay thro' a broker. In my opinion, there is no rationale of any EQ now a days as tatkal is very much available. May be maximum 2 seats for upper class (2Ac/1AC) per train. more  
Senior citizen must be given priority for booking from tatkal quota/general quota. In the case of ghotala it not possible without 'Bibhisan'. Rly department should find out them. more  
there should be one quota for seiner citizens in tatkal quota and this system should be banned to all the traveling agents, more  
EQ Tickets also must be charged on par with Thatkal tickets to reduce misusal. Anyway officials travel Free in EQ ticket. more  
Senior citizens should be given concession in the issue of Thatkal tickets. It will not affect the Railway in any way. In the issue of thatkal quota freepasses and VIP quotas should not be considered. more
