First infor whether you are running business of ticket booking or not.
For buying tickets for friend/relative no such POA is required.

I'm planning to do so, just confirming the details before starting so that I may not get into legal issues.
As I asked, can I use POA to book tickets on clients behalf. I never mentioned friends and family.

Without procuring necessary license from Railways/IRCTC , you cannot do such business.

The why is this Power of Attorney Act made, when I cant use it in this situation?
I observe that you are more inclined towards Railway Act, while you are neglecting the "The powers-of-attorney act, 1882".
Power of Attorney law clear states that I can do any task on clients behalf for some fee charged to them.
So this would come out to be a service and not a business, isn't it?

Your answer"The advise in this section is as per law, You can be attorney to book ticket for particular person, Railway Act prohibit to obtain profit through POA. ",
can you quote any act in railway where it states that I cant make profit using POA.
Also, If I run this service of being POA and booking tickets, can Indian "The powers-of-attorney act, 1882" save me from the custody?

Read the provisions of Railway Act and then apply the POA Act.
Consult a local lawyer to start an agency for booking of rail passengers and then proceed.
