DEMAND OF TATKAL FACILITY FOR RAILWAY EMPLOYEES - NFIRs PNM ITEM NO. 19/2013 19/2013: Reservation for Tatkal by paying difference of Fare on passes/PTOs. It was explained to the Federation that Tatkal Scheme is a value added service which has been introduced for full fare paying passengers only and no passenger holding concessional tickets or free pass including a Parliamentarian or a Minister is allowed to avail reservation under this scheme unless the full fare is paid for. If any relaxation is allowed, similar request will also come from other categories of passengers which will be difficult to resist. It was clearly explained that the relaxation of the Tatkal Scheme is not feasible especially in the context of adverse publicity relating to connivance of staff with touts on the cornering of Tatkal tickets. However, Federation insisted that the agenda item retained and requested that a solution be explored for facilitating travel of railway staff. It was agreed to explore possibilities.
