Sub: Amendment in Tatkai quota.

eed

As per extant instructions, the following accommodation is being
earmarked under Tatkal scheme:-

Number of berths to be earmarked in trains witir=
Class average occupancy level of Tatkal Quot:

a
aR
3A
Air-Conditioned Chair Car

1
Sleeper Class 10% of the | 30% of the
accommodation or one | accommodation.
coach whichever is less

Reserved Second Sitting (25) } 10% of the accommodation

1.1 _ Instructions also exist that in those trains where although the average
utilization of Tatkal accommodation is less than 80% yet there is demand during
certain specific periods, Tatkal accommodation to be earmarked during such
identified specific periods will be the same as mentioned above.

2. While going through the utilization figures of Tatkal quota earmarked in
various trains, it has been observed that the same is being underutilized in a
number of trains during most of the month. In some trairis, it is not at all being
utilized as utilization of even general accommodation is not full. This results in
unnecessary blocking of berths which is not desirable.

3. Accordingly, the matter has been reviewed and it has been decided that the
powers for earmarking of Tatkal accommodation in different classes should be
delegated to Zonal Railways who should take a decision in this regard keeping in
view the utilization pattern in that class during the previous financial year as well
as availability of accommodation. The accommodation so earmarked should,
however, in no case exceed the maximum Tatkal accommodation permissible to
be earmarked as per extant instructions.
