Hi Team, Today (29/04) i have tried to book tatkal ticket from SC to BZA after 10:00 P.M. I have clicked on "SL" of required train, I got message as "This site is not reachable". I have logged off and log in again. I have followed the same process, I was able to see the available seats and clicked on booknow. In next screen I have filled journey details and clicked on next but i got a message as "Regret/WaitingList". I have tried to look for available seats for the same train what I have choosen, surprisingly I am able to see available seats. Again i tried to book but i got a message as "This site is not reachable". From above all my doubt is how the tickets have been booked by others even though the site is not reachable. My doubt is, is it site connectivity issue or my internet connection issue. I am sure that i have sufficient speed in my internet connection. Please have a look into this, if this is an issue kindly find out RCA. This will improve the user experience and site performance as well. I was missed to take screenshots of messages as i was in a hurry to book ticket. Regards, Prasad K

          Dear IRCTC, For the past 5 days I am trying to book tatkal ticket online and I am getting the same error "This site is currently unreachable. Please try after some time", even though I sharply login into the site at 10:00. On first day I thought it might be some server issue which your technical team will resolve in an hour or so (being crucial issue). But for the continuous 5 days I am getting the same error. I did my research...

          This site is currently unreachable. Please try after some time

          Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

          When I am trying to book the tatkal ticket, getting the error message : "This site is currently unreachable. Please try after some time". This error is frequent and we can't proceed any more till all the seats are filled, so we end up without booking. I am seeing this from last few days, probable a week. Where as previously this was not the case. There were no such errors and site was very smooth and faster in bookings. Please...

          From past week we are not able to book Tatkal tickets as the site says "This site is currently unreachable. Please try after sometime" when we select Tatkal and select class. It comes back to normal after 10:40AM. FYI I have 10MBps Internet connection. Strangely Agents are able to book tickets without any hassle. I strongly believe this people are hacking your system to increase the load during Peak hours (10:00AM to 10:40AM). I request you to check if the site is really down, why agents are not affected by this?? why only common people like us??

            Respected Sir/Madam Good Morning. When I try to reservation in tatkal situation. In your site always gives me error or telling relogin. sometime it says captcha is wrong. Rather everything is right. And when It goes to waiting position then site is active and working finely. It is wrong behaviour with customer. So plz take quick action on this.

              I am getting frequently error while booking tickets in tatkal time. I am trying to book tatkal ticket from last five days but i am not able to do it.After all tickets are booked it is allowing me to book waiting list tickets.When i am booking general tickets it is working good. Is IRCTC is designed for specific users or only for agents or for all ?

                                    My tatkal ticket was partially confirmed and during the travel the TT on the train told me that since it is an e-ticket, the waitlisted tickets will automatically get cancelled and I will get the refund. When I filed a TDR, at first they told me that I filed it late, and hence NO REFUND! When I escalated, they said that I have put in a wrong reason while filing a TDR and hence NO REFUND! And finally when I hit them back again, I am told that I have to now provide an Original TTE Certificate/GC/EFT issued against PNR No.[protected]. In absence of the Original Certificate, refund cannot be processed. Stop fooling people IRCTC and start processing refunds!
