ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI MANOJ SINHA)
(a): There has been no reduction in total number of berths/seats
earmarked on Indian Railways under Tatkal, Ladies and Senior
Citizens quotas. However, based on poor utilisation, there has been
marginal reduction in number of berths/seats earmarked
under Defence Department Quota.
Train-wise, class-wise distribution of all types of reservation
quotas except Defence Department Quota is done by the Zonal Railways on
the basis of demand pattern and availability of accommodation. Reservation
Quotas so earmarked including Defence Department, Tatkal,
Ladies, Senior Citizens are reviewed on periodical basis and adjustments
made, wherever required, based on utilisation. This is a continuous process.
(b): There has been no reduction in the total number of
berths/seats earmarked under Tatkal, Defence Department, Ladies
and Senior Citizens quotas in trains originating from Delhi area and
terminating/passing through Bangalore, Hubli and Kankanandi (Mangalore) as
indicated below:
Type of Quota Number of berths/seats earmarked in the year
Quata - 2013 - 2014
Tatkal - 2438 - 3008
Defence Department - 53 - 55
Ladies - 78 - 92
Senior Citizen - 307 - 398
(c) to (e): Although, there is marginal reduction in
the Defence Department quota on all India basis, there is no
reduction in the accommodation earmarked under
Tatkal, Defence Department, Ladies and Senior Citizens quotas
in trains originating from Delhi area and terminating/passing through
Bangalore, Hubli and Kankanandi (Mangalore). Since the reduction
of Defence Department Quota was on account of poor utilisation, there
is no proposal to restore this quota to the earlier level.
