The Ministry of Railways' tweet announcing the restriction imposed on a single user, by virtue which the user can only book upto 6 tickets per month.
Aimed to deter touts, there is also a nice statistical break up of the percentages of passengers who book some ___ % of tickets per month.
As per the ministry's statistical analysis only 4.20 % of the IRCTC users use it for buying > 10 tickets per month....

restriction wouldn't be applicable to the tickets booked at the reservation counters.........
Although a good move but it has got it's share of faults....
1. How long would it take for a tout or an agent to make multiple accounts.....
2. Is the return journey too considered in this '6 tickets a person' plan.....because that would kind off halving the number of journeys a passenger can make....

Bad decision....Can railways define who is a "tout" ?
Whats wrong if a so called tout books ticket for an illiterate and charges some money.

Dunno, there are always two sides of a single coin......
But still they ought to raise the bar a bit higher.....
10 tickets per person would have sufficed!
