tatkal ticket

Booking a tatkal ticket in irctc.co.in is always a challenge, the only hope of booking a ticket within a few mins was the "quick book" option where u could give all the details in a single page and directly proceed to the payment gateway. Looks like this door too has been closed today. The site displayed the following message "Quick book option is not available from 8am to 9 am". I somehow managed to book a ticket using the "Plan my travel" page when the availability was around 20 seats.

sometime back they blocked right click option : Not sure why this was done
Followed by having a random text image to further delay the booking time.
And now Disabled the "Quick book" option. I am not clear about the intention for doing these things, the intention doesn't seem to enhance security of the site. It looks likes they don't want internet users to book tatkal tickets.

  1. I completely agree with you Rakesh...i dont think the intention is to increase the security where as the intention is to reduce the online bookings. Booking tatkal tickets became a big issue after they stopped quick book from 8 Am to 9 AM.

    I have tried calling the call center and they are asking me to send a mail with a screenshot of the message that we are getting...how funny :):)

    We should do something about it...do you have any idea?

    Cheers!
