What is premium tatkal scheme of Indian railways?
Picking it from low cost airlines fare model, Railways introduced a new ‘Premium Tatkal Scheme’ from Oct'14 which works on the principle 'More the demand, higher the price'.
Premium Tatkal tickets will be dynamically priced rising with demand and allows these tickets to be booked only online. Half the Tatkal tickets on select trains will be sold on a premium basis
Minimum premium fare = Basic train fare + Tatkal charges
Tatkal charges vary from 10 per cent to 30 per cent with an upper limit depending on the class of travel. The maximum premium is up to 30 per cent of the base fare or ₹400 (whichever is higher).
Unlike Tatkal tickets, there is no waitlisting in Premium-Tatkal tickets; this means an assured reserved berth. However, cancellations are also not allowed.
Why is it overpriced?
Because, It is a premium ticket. (That means demand is more than supply)
What are the benefits?
In short, Railways is taking the role of middlemen/tout/brokers and selling their tickets at a premium to eliminate black marketing. Growth of income to Railways is expected as a side effect.
