Profit and loss account is constituent and package of Life, but booking a Tatkal ticket in Indian Railways is a sureshot loss if opt to scratch it. It so passed that my Pop enquire me to book a ticket to Hyderabad only 5 years prior to the leaving date. Since this is the high season there was no opportunity of getting a Confirmed place. My Pop insisted on booking the ticket in Tatkal which holded about 10 available places.

Indian Railways charge Rs. 150 per ticket as Tatkal charges. So, I shoulded pay Rs 313 + 150 = Roentgens 463
Simply about 2 hours after, imputable inescapable portions, my Pappa stated that he would scratch his trip to Hyderabad and inquired me to scrub the ticket.

Even as I pressed the natural ticket
button, I got a shocker. 25 % of the full menu charged on the ticket would be 25 % of Rs 313 = Roentgens78.25
is all that was returned.
Now, is n't this fraud? This is unfastened thieving directly from the client 's pocket.

Cancellation of a ticket booked under Tatkal -

A level refund of 25 % of entire menu charged on ticket, omiting Tatkal Charges is allowed on cancellation of confirmed Tatkal tickets, which are scrubbed up to 24 hours. before the docket leaving of train.

A headlong determination from the traveler 's side were him Rs384.75. Thats a immense loss in only 2 hrs I strongly experience that this is rough on the client for booking a ticket in Tatkal so scrubbing it. It would hold been okay if the Railways holded the Tatkal charges for itself, but taking off 75 % of the menu is simply insane.

Now that the money is locomoted, nix much can be maked about it. A lesson for the futurity - Book a wicket in waiting listing when your trip is provisional.
