Are Tatkal tickets for common man or railway agents?

Reported on June 13, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #7432

Most of the people would agree that Tatkal tickets are not meant for common man who try to access it online. The booking starts at 08.00 a.m. but mostly one will find the portal to be inaccessible and when it becomes accessible, tickets are just not available. Interesting to note is that tickets still remain available with railway agents who charge a premium.

It is also heard that Railway agents block tickets in bulk much in advance (mostly 3 months in advance). This really makes artificial scarcity.
