[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Online Tatkal Booking

Address:

Karnataka

Date: 2-Nov-2011
I was looking to book online tatkal tickets for 5-Nov-2011 from Dhanbad to Jaipur in Sdah-Ajmer Express (Train no. - 12987). Since tatkal tickets can only be booked 2 days in advence, I was not allowed to book tickets. But to my surprise, I noticed that Tatkal tickets for 5-Nov are already showing waiting lists.
My question here is that, If no one can book tatkal before 2 days, how can tickets status go in waiting list? This is the story of everyday and we never get any confirmed tatkal tickets. I guess some manipulation is going on in the database through backend.

I have taken the screenshot of the website but can't see any option to upload here.
