Surgical strike on black marketing of Tatkal tickets, this is how Railways caught fraud with new technology

News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever you and I plan to go somewhere, what is the biggest headache? Yes, getting a “Confirmed Ticket”. And if you have to go in an emergency, then booking ‘Tatkal Ticket’ is no less than fighting a war.

It often happens that as soon as the booking starts at 10 am or 11 am, all the seats get filled within 1-2 minutes. We keep thinking, “Man, how can fingers move so fast?” Actually, the reason behind this is not our slow internet but the game of ‘ticket brokers’.

But friends, now Railways has decided to end this game. Indian Railways has taken such a strict action that the shops of brokers are going to be closed and the common man is going to smile on his face.

Let us understand in simple language what Railways has done and how you will get its benefit.

Lakhs of suspicious IDs closed

Railways has launched a special campaign to collect thousands of user IDs of IRCTC. Deactivate Or closed down, which looked suspicious.
Railways says that many people were creating personal ID and using it for business. That means, he used to book tickets from personal quota and sell them outside at expensive prices. Railways identified such IDs and blocked them forever.

Amazing new technology (AI and data detective)

Now you will think how the Railways came to know?
For this, Railways has used new and high-tech technology. now in system Artificial Intelligence (AI) And data analytics has been deployed.
The system itself captures that:

• Through which ID are tickets being booked in excess of the limit?
• With which ID the form is being filled at inhuman speed (often illegal software is used for this).
• Trying to login from multiple locations at the same time.

As soon as the system detects any error, it red flags that ID.

‘Good news’ for the common man

The biggest benefit of this cleanliness campaign will be to me and you, i.e. the common passengers.
When invalid IDs are blocked and automatic software does not work, touts will not be able to steal all the seats when the ticket window opens. This means that when you book tickets from your mobile or laptop, your confirmed ticket Your chances of getting it will increase significantly. Tickets which used to disappear within 1 minute during Tatkal, may now be available for 5-10 minutes.

This action of Railways also means that now it is necessary to follow the rules.

• Use your IRCTC ID only to book tickets for yourself or your family/friends.
• Do not give it to any unknown person.
• If your mobile number or email is not verified, then get it verified immediately, otherwise your true ID may also come under the radar.
