has set aside exclusive counters for passengers who want to book tickets under the tatkal quota through the Passenger Reservation System (PRS). Agents or representatives of those who will undertake the journey will not be allowed to stand in the queues at these self tatkal ticket counters.
The counters will remain open from 10am to 10.30am every day. The decision to set up these exclusive counters was taken to ensure that genuine passengers can book seats under the tatkal scheme. Tatkal seat bookings open at 10am every day.
Western Railway general manager Mahesh Kumar said, "Only those who will undertake the journey can stand at the counters to get a ticket. In case more than one ticket is needed, one of the passengers will have to stand in the queue and names of the others will have to be written in the requisition slip."
At present, 56 booking offices counters have self tatkal ticket counters, of which 43 are on the Churchgate-Virar section.
