Site becomes unreachable while booking tatkal or premium tatkal tickets and the funniest part is that it appears again when all the tickets are booked. Is IRCTC'S website being hacked or it is conspiracy of railway high officials and brokers. IRCTC services are worse and becoming worst.

" THE SITE IS UNREACHABLE.PLEAS TRY AFTER SOME TIME" ... for god sake try solve this or else shutdown this useless service ... don't how to maintain a website ... what kind of service you people are capable of ... feel shame on your services chikile sunil, [protected]@yahoo.co.in

This is my second complaint in last 10 days and this problem I faced everyday for last 10 days. The site doesnt work properly during initial Tatkal hours, i.e, around 10:03, 10:04 am and if it works then the transactions doesn't go properly. The amount is debited from the account but the transaction fails saying TXN failed due to internal error or due to time limit exceeded. There has been no response from IRCTC site to my last complaint and when I mailed them directly they said its a technical glitch. I have 9 screen-shots of the site during initial Tatkal hours when it was unavailable and when it became available the availability was not there.If this forum cannot take forward the complaint properly let us know how to expedite our complaint since its happening everyday. There were three transaction failure during the transaction and after 15 minutes when transaction got successful it went to WL. I have attached 9 screenshots of the time frame from 10:03 am to 10:20 am.

THERE IS A BIG GOO[censored]P IN THE SYSTEM. WE CAME TO KNOW THAT DURING TATKAL BOOKING TIMING THE SYSTEM IS PURPOSELY KEEP DOWN SO THAT THE NORMAL PUBILC CAN BOOK THE TICKET. AND THE RAILWAY STAFF GET THEIR BOOKING DONE. THIS IS A CIRME. SYSTEM GIVE ERROR WITH IN A SECOND. GOVERMENT SHOULD GIVE SOME SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM SO THAT COMMON PEOPLE DO NOT SUFFER THIS THING

My wife and two children were travelling by swarn shatabdi from lucknow to New Delhi on date 11/05/2015. PNR number of the ticket was [protected]. They were carrying the print out of the ticket and a on line print out of the aadhar card in black and white copy. They had other IDs in their email as well as in their smartphone. The TTE whose name was Smt Sunita Devi said that they were not carrying the legal original ID however she was several times told that it was the print out of the online aadhar card. She told that a fine of Rs 6600.00 would be charged however after been told by my wife that she was not carrying so much of cash along with her she tortured my son by telling him that if they would not pay the amount then she would prepare a memo and the RPF force would take them to the jail at the next station. When my told the TTE that she was carrying only Rs 1500.00 with her she took the money from my son and did not give any receipt. My son had even taken the photographs of the notes which were given to her. I know that now we don't have any proofs against her but I request you to kindly take some action against her so that she could not harass other passengers.
