Yesterday there was a news on STAR NEWS regarding a software being used by touts to book tatkal tickets in huge numbers. Its name was some vallysoft or something like that. One copy of basic version is available at Rs. 9000. This software gets directly connected to IRCTC site and we can fill forms from before. One can start booking from 7:58 am and the forms are automatically filled by software. Also one does not need to enter the captcha code while booking. Star news says IRCTC officials are aware of this and also part of this and so this has been functioning without any problem. Lets see what Railways do about it.
