Irctc — Website non responsive on beginning of tatkal hours from 10.00AM to 10.25AM

Address:Kolkata, West Bengal

We would like to complain about the non responsiveness of tatkal booking through IRCTC in almost everyday. The website used to be fine and accessible 1month ago. But from last 1month its been seen to be non reachable and non responsive on daily basis. Being a frequent traveller, we are loosing the opportunity to confirm tatkal booking and reserve berth/seat and ultimately change in travel plan which becomes tremendous troublesome.

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 a 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.
