    Earlier it was declared that on cancellation of tatkal tckt.some amount will be refunded. But now it hasn't been mentioned in the above rules.
    Another important concern is about senior citizens. Why doesn't IRCTC give Senior Citizen Concession in Tatkal ticket? It should be given.

    The concession for Sr citizens should be provided in the rule. Secondly, some percentage should be fixed against cancelation of tickets in emergency for refund

    Concessions should be extended to Sr. Citizens for Tatkal Tickets. Since Current Reservations is activated, Rly should refund at least base fare for return of tatkal tickets, as per normal schedule for return of tickets. More over all lower berths should be reserved for Sr. Citizens and elderly ladies. Tickets should not be issued to Sr. Citizens unless lower berths are available. In IRCTC option "Book only if atleast on lower berth is alloted", it should automatically reply as "no lower berth is available" if not available. As of now, IRCTC takes the money and then replies you as not available. It returns you the money after 7 days. our bank charges is deducted. IRCTC should be transparent in seat allocation and not fool all.

    There are certain grammatical errors in the write-up about the new 'Tatkal' rules. In the second para : "Tatkal booking window opens.....one before ......." It should be "one DAY before..." Under "Here are 5 things.....", item 1: last line should read : according to Indian railways' website.

    Hope you will make these corrections.

    IRCTC should have provision for Sr Citizen to allot lower berth only. They should have quota for that. In max cases inspite of booking 2-3 months before, seat allocations were given to Sr Citizen upper berth in AC-II. Journey was too lengthy and climbing all the time on upper berth was practically became difficult.
    Special provision for Sr Citizen should be made for TATKAL booking by allocating lower berth. Besides this, in case of cancellation IRCTC may keep some amount but 70-80% should be refunded to Sr Citizen.
