Why IR reward the Rly Reservation counter transactions and punish the online ticket booking
(1) by levying transaction charge on the online ticket booking
(2) not permitting onward reservation in online booking
inspite of the fact that online transactions are always traceable and white money where as there is no traceability in cash transactions at booking counters, a significant part of it...
more... may be black money. Also selling tickets is a costly proposition as it involve maintaing booking counters and staff.
Online transaction has to be promoted as a matter of policy in each and every activity/policy of govt, just promoting online transactions at the backdrop of demonetisation shall not give the desired result.
