Ticketing Touts - Key Issues

1. Touts can be found on major stations selling tickets at a premium
2. Touts take money to get waitlisted tickets confirmed
3. Touts make people travel on tickets which are not on their names
4. Touts use illegal software to book tatkal tickets in bulk
5. Touts enter multiple passengers/ticket details together in an excel sheet and run some kind of script on that excel at the tatkal opening hours. The scripts allows them to book many number of tickets at one go with auto payment facility
6. Touts collude with the ticket booking officers to book VIP tickets for passengers at a premium
7. Some touts also bribe the TTE to offer seats to passengers with no ticket

Most urgent Raipur 18/06/2019 To Railway Minister Govt of India New delhi Dear sir. एक तरफ राज्य सरकारें करोड़ों की संख्या में नागरिकों को स्मार्ट मोबाइल फोन मुफ्त में बाट रही है । वही अत्यन्त खेद के साथ कहना पड़ रहा है कि भारतीय रेल के पास ऑनलाइन पैसेंजर रिजर्वेशन की सारी आधुनिक टेक्नोलॉजी व नेटवर्क होंने के बावजूद अपने TTE को ऑनलाइन रिजर्वेशन के लिये ऑनलाइन रिजर्वेशन टिकेट इससुइंग मशीन / टैबलेट कंप्यूटर या स्मार्टफोन केवल इस लिये उपलब्ध नही करा रहा है कि उसकी मनसा चलती ट्रेन में रिजर्वेशन टिकट अल्लोत्मेंट में व्याप्त भरस्टाचार को समाप्त करने को बिल्कुल नही दिखाई पड़ती है। सुझाव (1)भारत मे 12617 ( गूगल पर उपलब्ध आकड़ो के अनुसार) ट्रैन प्रति दिन चलती है। अगर एक ट्रेन में एवरेज 5 TTE के हिसाब से 63085 TTE सेवा में होंगे अर्थात अधिकतम 63085 टेबलेट PC की जरूरत होगी वर्तमान में अच्छी कंपनी अधिकतम ₹ 8000 के हिसाब से ₹ 50 करोड़ की आवस्यकता होगी जो भारतीय रेल की एक मामूली सी रकम है केवल इक्छा शक्ति की जरूरत है। (2) अगर सभी TTE को चलती ट्रेन में रिजर्वेशन टिकेट allot करने लिये टेबलेट PC उपलब्ध करा दिए जाते है तो TTE को एवरेज संख्या को 5 की जगह 3 किया जा सकता है अर्थात 12617X3 =37851 टेबलेट PC की ही जरूरत होगी X8000=₹30 करोड़ के बजट की जरूरत ही जरूरत होगी। (3) ऐसा करने से 12617X2=25237X₹50000( TTE की एवरेज मासिक सैलरी)=₹126 करोड़ मासिक सैलरी की बचत होगी ऐसा कर चलती ट्रेन में रिजर्वेशन देने में व्याप्त भरस्टाचार को पूर्णतह समाप्त किया जा सकता है। TTE को केवल उपलब्ध वकेटेन्ट सीट को ऑनलाइन मार्क करना होगा। जैसा सभी जानते है आज के डेट में रिजर्वेशन श्रेणी में सफर करने वाले 80से85% यात्रियों के पास स्मार्ट फ़ोन है । ऐसा करने से वे ऑनलाइन current बुकिंग में जा कर सीटो को उपलब्धता के हिसाब से स्वयं भी रिजर्वेशन बुक कर सकते है । इस तरह सीट बुकिंग का भी अधिकतम उपयोग ट्रैन के सोर्स स्टेशन से छूटने के बाद भी किया जा सकता है । ऐसा करना समय की तत्काल आवश्यकता है। बिषय पर आपश्री की प्रतिक्रिया, विचार व सार्थक सुझाव आमंत्रित है। Vijay Goyal 9301704200 vkgryp@yahoo.co.in "O" Block, IInd Floor, Farishta Complex G.E.

Touts have no magic stick to arrange tickets. He does his job in connivance with Railway staff. To drain out touts’ resources, Railways authorities should mend their own house by appointing honest and sincere staff dealing with ticketing or people seeking a ticket. Railways are known for adjusting people close to politicians in their staff. Not only that they use their power to get reservation for the people close to them. If a soldier at the borders could be motivated to give his life for the sake of the country, why an Railway employee can’t be motivated to do his best honestly. more  
In the age of cheap data & internet, almost everybody has access to it & can book tickets either by themselves or with help of their relatives; Then, why the railway reservation agents are still allowed to keep looting people in locality. They should all be declared banned & raid should be conducted to catch those who are doing such business, should be arrested. The second thing is local businessmen keeps feeding the local policemen & politicians with commissions on their looted money, so, as to continue it in a corrupt ecosystem. This commission business between private local businesses & authorizes can be seen every where across the country, not just reservation booking. more  
I strongly feel there must be some link between Railway workers and these ticketing touts otherwise how one can explain that u don!t get desired bearths even if u book tickets four months in advance from counter but trout assures confidentially your desired seats. Very sad and very pathetic and measurable for genuine ticket holders.A real shame for department. more
