A proposed modification in Tatkal booking rules which will come into effect from 1st Sept 2015 has not been really understood by people.
May kindly read below-

Presently even for booking Tatkal ticket one has to submit photocopy of the photo identity card that will be carried by the passenger while travelling. This has been done away to facilitate passengers to buy tatkal tickets since it is possible that a person may be booking ticket for his parents (aged) /children who are staying in a different city (hostel) and may not have photocopy of their photo identity card. Now it would be possible to book tickets in such situations. However the requirement of the passenger to carry one of the permitted photo-identity card to prove his identity at the time of travel continues to ensure there is no misuse.
.
2.
Presently the number given in the identity card has to be entered while generating the ticket. This is increasing the transaction time. By doing away with entering the identity card number the transaction time is reduced. Further in case the identity number is wrongly typed by the railway clerk and found to be not tallying with the original identity card number the TTE has no discretion but to treat the passenger as without ticket.
.
3.
Presently if the passenger is carrying a valid photo-identity card (Aadhaar Card/Passport/Driving Licence/PAN Card) but is not the same as mentioned in the ticket at the time of booking the passenger will be treated as without ticket. Many complaints have been received in this regard where the passengers to continue travel had to pay the fare of the ticket + penalty for not showing the same photo-identity card as mentioned at the time of booking. In case the passenger misplaces the identity card mentioned in the ticket but is carrying any of the other identity card in the prescribed list the present system will treat him as without ticket. A large number of uneducated, senior citizen, women and people from rural areas were getting affected due to this rule.
