[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Railway Ticket Reservation

Address:Tiruvarur, Tamil Nadu

Dear Sir,
There is a difference kind of Procedure is followed by the people who are reserving their tickets in Tatkal Quota in Tiruvarur Railway station. As a procedure, people should be there in on a queue in FIFA basis i.e whoever comes first in early morning they will be form a queue. But in the above said station people are keeping the duly filled reservation forms previous day night itself and putting a sl. no. on the form like 1,2,3.... and after keeping those forms they go to home, sleep and will come back on next day morning after 7.30 and will stand as per the sl. no writtened down on the forms. The problem is, even people like me , who reached the station early morning 3.30 AM, forced to put the sl. no and keeping it at the bottom of the forms [nobody will be there]. I asked the passengers who did so, not to do that . But they are fighting with me and told me that this is the procedure is following up in this station. This procedure indirectly accepted by the Tiruvarur Railway reservation counter staffs also. My sincere request is to "put a board infront of the Reservation Counter says that "NO ONE SHOULD KEEP THE FILLED FORMS WITH NUMBERING IN FRONT OF THE COUNTER AND ALL ARE REQUESTED TO KEEP THE FORM WITH YOU ITSELF AND FORM THE QUEUE. ALSO, THIS IS TO INFORM OTHER PASSENGERS THAT , IF ANYONE FOUND SUCH FORMS KEPT INFRONT OF THE RESERVATION COUNTER CAN THROUGH IT AWAY" - . I hope the Railway management can understand the pain of standing from the early morning 3.30 AM to 8.00 AM and if some people simply kept the form previous day night and go for sleeping at home- is it acceptable?. Directly Railway Dept is not involved in this. But indirectly supporting the frauds by not taking action against them.

Indian Rail — Ticket Reservation

While booking the Train Ticket through irctc.co.in, I have noticed some issues as mentioned below

A) Site is up and working fine till 7.55 AM, as soon as the clock touches 8.00 and Tatkal reservation opens, site goes down and will not abe to book the tatkal ticket.
B) After 30 min, when all tatkal quota booked, site came up and starts working fine.

Please look into this matter, even you can test and feel it practically, the problem we are facing as a general citizen of India.
Please take necessary action ASAP.

Thanks & Regards
Fani Mohanty & Ankit jain.
I agree with Fani Mohanty & Ankit jain. Even brokers claims that you can't book tatkal form online service and asked for 100rs extra on booking

the reason for that there is setting at higher level in irctc with agent network
i completely agree. tatkal tickets have become a big source of malpractice and corruption in indian rail. this phenomena has increased in last two years
