BACKGROUND
IRCTC was incorporated on 27th September, 1999.
The scheme has been kept simple - only end to end tickets, no discounts of any
kind, no waiting list tickets, and the fare starts from the Tatkal fares of other
Rajdhanis, and keep going up as the seats get filled.
This is a fairer system public, generates higher revenues for Railways, and is
basically a win-win situation for all stake holders.
