Based on past two years of booking online tickets through Indian Railways online booking system by its website irctc, I have observed that between 8 am to 9am, availability of website is almost rare. Even if one logs in successfully then it will be Impossible for him to book the ticket. But as soon as time passes beyond 9 am, picture becomes different, one can easily book the ticket.
Now, the real question is that because of above problem one can not book the tatkal or normal ticket on opening day. So, ultimately one had to depend on agents, who charge upto Rs200.00 for every tatkal ticket, thereby wasting my hard earned money in brokerages. This shows a nexus between agents and Railway people.
Note: There may be times when Irctc server is down(Between 8am to 9am) but that is not always the case

I support this complaint. I had to book 3 tickets, and I had 4 ppl with 4 different computer working with different ids, and still it didn't work. whoever was successful in loggin in, the website kept saying even at 08:23 that tatkal is only allowed after 08:00hrs. The server was so slow that it didn't let some of us to log in. It is impossible for a simple citizen to get tatkla ticket. Govt. should understand that Rs.200-300 worth a lot for some middle class people. which majority of India belongs to and who travels through trains too.
I support this complaint. First time in my life i went to agent paid Rs.100 per person extra for 3 tickets and got it done.

I support this complaint. Dear Mr. Biswas - Respect your view as its your bread n butter. But a Common man is not booking tickets everyday and you are not travelling every day (Still you buy no of tickets and we are not able to buy a single confirmed ticket). Thats the difference.
Booking a Tatkal Ticket - Is there any ROCKET SCIENCE which railway authority has prepared to keep away the common man?...As per your views I think YES.
I tried hard to get the tatkal ticket (Betn 8.00 to 8.20 am) consecutively two days by changing my travel plan. But ended up with WL/85 tickets.
My suggestion to railway is that
PLEASE STOP ONLINE BOOKING FOR THE TATKAL TICKETS – WE, THE COMMON PEOPLE, WILL BUY IT FROM THE WINDOW @ RAILWAY STATION – THEN WE WILL SEE HOW THE TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT IN 2 -3 MINs.
