IRCTC Indian Railways
Booking tatkal ticket by irctc not possible on opening day between 8am to 9am

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
