Irctc — Corruption during tatkal reservation

Address:Meerut, Uttar Pradesh

It's very awful to say that the experience during Tatkal reservation was very poor. Today I had been trying to get a Tatkal booking but all the time I was getting a message "The site is currently unreachable. Please try after sometime.". Is corruption started in IRCTC as well? Attached screen shot is taken on the 3rd attempt!!

It has become impossible for a non-agent to book Tatkal tickets online. I could never book a single Tatkal ticket online (Especially AC tickets) on my last 20 - 25 attempts. I am using a 3G internet connection. So I am sure that it is not happening due to slow bandwidth. The following things happen when I try to book a tatkal ticket online at 10 am.
1) The Login Captcha becomes more tough from 10 am to 11 am.
2) It takes about 3 - 5 minutes to load a new page. Sometimes it just kicks me out instead of loading a new page.
3) The sites becomes unreachable when I opt for Tatkal. It becomes reachable the next moment when I opt for Regular Ticket (Not Tatkal). This is just ridiculous.
4) E-wallet is not allowed just when it is mostly needed. I cannot use E-wallet from 10 am to 11 am. Due to this, I have to leave the IRCTC website for final payment (I don't have a credit card) and after payment it does not return to IRCTC site most of the time. Consequently, I have to wait a week or more for the refund in spite of not being able to book a ticket.
tatkal booking through Internet is very bad. Today i planned to book tatkal ticket for sleeper class at 11 am but irctc site not going to inter me i have try more that 50 attempt but all are fail and suddenly simply i entered in irctc site and saw all tickets are booked within 15 min and waiting list is 32, now irctc is working fine and i can inter very easily but during 11 to 11.15 am site is not going to inter me, it is show that irctc people is cheating with normal person and only agent can do this and they charge 500 to 2000 rupees for one person. how our india will grow by this kind of corruption. indian government are charging a lot in every where but there is no facility to common man
