Some passengers use fake letterheads to avail emergency quota: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

According to the railway minister, approximately 36 per cent of the berths or seats earmarked under emergency quota were utilised on an average during the financial year 2023-24. "However, since a large number of requests are received from various quarters and are dealt with on a day-to-day basis, details of requests received for release of accommodation out of emergency quota are only preserved as per extant guidelines," he said.
