Dalals Using High Tech Means to Steal Tatkal Tickets From IRCTC






Ever wondered when you stand for hours since morning in the queue for the railway tickets and still it runs out from your expectations. This' indeed not a normal case where in the Tatkal Quota Bookings, seats get filled within seconds even for the next 2-3 days. Finally, it has been found out. There are some culprits or better be called as Dalals who are using high tech means and have created a software program to snatch Tatkal tickets from the Indian Railways' only official website www.irctc.co.in. What they do is, they prepare and make ready all the details required for the Ticket form i.e. Name, Age, Gender, etc one hours prior to the Tatkal booking time and make the details get filled in the Reservation form using some auto-filler software. When the booking time starts i.e. from 8:00 hrs, they make the software activated and it take just few seconds to submit the form and get the tickets confirmed for them. The major software used for this hacking purpose is 'SoftVally Travel Pvt Ltd'.



SoftVally pre-populates and submits all the information required for ticket booking on irctc website in an automated way while others are still entering there information manually giving software users the time edge needed to book the ticket. Some people from Mumbai are involved in the making of this software but the real developer is still missing. The software costs around 10,000 INR and some people are been accused of purchasing it. Other similar softwares' are LastPass, Roboform and Kaspersky Password Manager.
irctc.co.in was considered to be the most reliable and safest way for the ticket reservation but after these kind of activities by these miscreant Dalals, it's proving to be a major issue for the fellow citizens of India.
