[Resolved]  Irctc — irctc very slow

its all IRCTC fault. site like google and facebook have more than million server for handling global traffic and IRCTC has very less server for handling traffic they make avg 40-60 lakh per day they can afford lots of server easily its like penny in thousand of dollars but they are never tried to do this. I just hope INDIAN RAILWAY launch its own portal as soon as possible and make sure learn from IRCTC...

This is such an idiotic dump site..Simply keeping the site for eye wash. Only agents are able to book it. How have you got any bribe from them?. We wont leave this as it is.

Irctc is full of corruption .i think we need to complain it to Anna Hazara...

Since five days i am trying to book my ticket but till 8.10 am it shows book after 8.00am.Even i had filled two TDR for my tickets in OCT 2010 but not yet i had received the refund.

Railways — IRCTC Website is down for many days

Dear Sir,

Please see that IRCTC Website is down for many days. This is certainly not acceptable to me.
I am sure so many others like me are been troubled since their ticket details are stuck with their profiles created in IRCTC site. I am not able to cancel the booked ticket neither I am able to provide any booking reference to modify the ticket from outside.

I am not sure if this is the right forum to raise such complaint and whether this complaint will be taken further.

will be greatful if someone can address and act on this Issue. More than me I feel resolution of this Issue will be in public interest.

Thanks and regards,
Praveen Tiwari

What the hell is going on. This is the 9 th time i have tried to book the tatkal ticket online. but after loging in for sevral times i always get teh message " service unavailable". and when it opens after 40 min i.e 8:40 in the morning...all the tatkal tickets are sold out. The misery of the situationis that...tickets booked through agent login are made out very fast. If the rail dept r there for agents only...then why r u creating a sham showing all this...online ticket booking and bla bla bla...no use. just close it down.
but now its high time this matter is got to be taken seriously. i am gonna lodge a complaint with the railway ministry officials. i know nothing is gonna happen...but still i'm gonna try. all the people reading this and who are really pissed off with the "monkey play" of irctc site...please do the same if you really want a relief.

IRCTC site is Pathetic, so many people are complaining about this site being very slow & especially dead in the morning hours. I don’t understand why IRCTC is not doing something to improve the performance of this site. The capacity planning of this site has been done by some dumb person. IRCTC does not pay any heed to complaints regarding this site.

This is totally an idiotic site. Worst site...

IRCTC is the worst example of how a site should not function.

If you ask the people responsible for maintaining the site, they'd give us a load of crap stating that indian
railways is the largest in the world!!!

There are numerous sites in the world which have a far far higher transaction rate than IRCTC.

Wondering if there is a scam behind the development and maintenance of the portal as well!!!

The Pathetic Web Services provided by irctc is beyond imagination. We common people are barred to use the site in the morning hours (8 am - 8.30am), because of agent harboring for Tatkal Tickets. The Main plan of Railway Dept is Profit as it was loss making in the past due to its Aam Admi Friendly, now the govt has become more towards profit making as they need to show off that at least one dept. is up to mark, so that they can throw off allegations. it seems "the railway minister is paid to do this", whoever ends up as railway minister has to pay a heavy price of public demoralizing. But due to its profits, it is considered a bail off venture. It seems in india there is a "Loop-hole Experiment" Event going on, so that the politicians can do whatever they want, until they get their hit. All we are asking is Fair Empowerment in our life and we get this . anyway these complaints are never gonna make any sound even to the administrators of this site, because they are too in some Elsewhere Engagement. obviously i am posting this to vent out my anger with the idea that my venting out is never gonna be caught :P

site and IRCTC justs fools people with tatkal tickets... Even all the bad words that I know are not sufficient to scold irctc.. We could only see "service unavailable" messages when we try to book Tatkal tickets...

IRCTC site being too slow these days for last 2 months or so.
I used to book ticket in day time, it was fine, but now its even difficult to check the availability status. either the web server getting too many request that it can cater or some other attacks attemt to get in. what ever be the reason ultimately the end- user suffers.Railway should look into the matter and even then this is not corrected, we can feel its made so intentionally.

Since IRCTC is being used by people for booking tickets for several years, and because it is a "Government of India enterprise", I prefer booking my tickets from IRCTC website. However, looking at the lousy performance of the site, I think I should better switch over to makemytrip or to some other similar site.

IRCTC — LOOTING MONEY OF GENUINE RAIL TICKETING AGENTS

IRCTC LOOTING HARD EARN MONEY OF RAILWAY AUTHORISED AGENT WITHOUT EXPLAINING ANY REASON /BLOCKING TERMINAL I.D./NOT RETURNING MONEY DEPOSITED THROUGH PRINCIPLE AGENT FOR RAILWAY TICKETING LICENSE.I REQUEST RAILWAY MINISTER TO KINDLY INTERVENE IN THIS MATTER AND DO THE NEEDFUL.

Today I tried to access irctc.co.in, literally it was taking nearly 15-20 mins to just load the login/home page.
Other sites I tried to use opening within 5-10 seconds.

IRCTC official website — The site is very slow is in useless now

IRCTC provides a very easy way to book rail tickets in india through www.irctc.co.in. This site encounter huge amount of load in terms o[censored]ser clicks and number o[censored]ser accounts it has. Being a Goverment Body unit, irctc should keep upto the mark o[censored]ser expectations but i am very depressed to see that i cannot even make a single ticket in off peak time. This is not a once in a while incident, i am facing problem in making an e-ticket since last 3 days. CRIS must engage some software professionals to enhance the performance of this site as at present it has become completely useless of anyone to use it.

Could you please cater this very urgent and critical issue.

Best example for one of the worst sites that man created.

IRCTC has become a boon to agents! They block the site for agents' Tatkal tickets and at the counters too the agents bribe the attendants who give away all the tickets.
IS SOMEBODY READING THIS?

slowest site ever seen in the world i sent 2 hrs in booking 1 ticket and still not working

IRCTC — Site is Awfully SLOW

This is site is a mess and whenever there is a hurry of buying a ticket online, the pages become slow and even the login page comes after 5-10 minutes of waiting. Please Look into this matter, as it is jeopardising the revenue generation process of the country also.

I am completely frustrated with the website. There is no alternate website and I am surprised that India which ships the best IT profession to all over the world and these very good Indian people who have enhanced the companies to which they work for and have contributed to a higher level of quality of life to the country they are contracted to cannot reciprocate the same back in their home land.
I refuse to agree that we do not have the knowledge or talent to have a world class system and for god’s sake the railways is most used and largest network in India and is the biggest network in the world.
There must be something that be done to fix it. We have the IIT at our disposal, don’t tell me even they cannot fix it. We have Infosys whose ex member is running the UID program for the government. Don’t tell Infosys cannot fix it. It’s a petty that we have such world class companies and Institution and our major means of transport website sucks to the extent that so many local users have put up to it.
