app hame irctc beta version kaise load hoga please

Subir Agarwal should be scrambling to get his name OFF every online publication soon. The ticketing system for the consumer is painfully unreliable. If there is one example of screwed up ethics and utter disregard to the INdian public, irctc and BroadVision would be a leading one.

Please get back Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav as the RAilway minister as Ms. Mamta Banerjee has failed to provide uninterrupted website service to the user. Mostly the website is in the failed state and remove the service from the company providing this service. Our Tax is being used wrongly by the wrong companies. Thanks,

Guys why dont you try on a mainframe or AS400 machine, front end will be same, but the server load of 50,000 concurent users is pea nuts to mainframe machine.

But you know they are more interested in renting systems for 10 times charge of purchasing a new one (commonwealth type)

I have an IRCTC account which is locked second time. When i tried to reset the password through forget password link, it asks User id, question and Answer. I provided all the details and it throws an error "Answer is Incorrect". This happend second time and both the times i tried to login through the actual password. I waited for a week and there was no response from IRCTC customer care. I called them up on 24 Hrs. Customer Support at 011-23340000 and it took about 12 calls to make them understand about the issue. When ever i called up the customer support the person attnding the call will redirect me to someone else after listening to my detail and again i need to explain whole story, inshort that was waste of time and money. I sent an email at care@irctc.co.in also submit at http://www.consumercourt.in/railways/14030-irctc-login.html and got an automated email as Ticket Confirmation for the request. IRCTC should hire service and satisfaction oriented support executives so that it a common man has no pain of wasting time and money.

I found out one interesting link mentioning 'MOST OPTIMIZED WAY OF TATKAL BOOKING'... And It works most of the time :D Worth watching it! http://www.goospoos.com/2010/07/irctc-tatkal-railway-ticket-booking-trick/

Navin Patel said on 7/10/2010 6:10:46 PM:
good idea we are happy give a reply

Sarath Chander T said on 6/27/2010 3:05:57 PM:
It seems that BROAD VISION the provider of web applications to IRCTC is aware of the freeze problem ie SERVICE UNAVAILABLE problem at 8am onwards. Why wait for somebody to provide the servers. They should put the servers by themselves or convince the Railway Ministry to do so. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO BELL THE CAT

A positive step. I would request that make a sepeerate reservation system for them who needs confirm reservation with no canciliation. Once ticket booked it cant be cancelled. up to 1 days before by this way Railways can add additional boggies. Thanks Amrendra

Ajay said on 6/2/2010 1:44:00 PM:
Regarding the loging in problem on website IRCTC between 08.00 hours- 08-300 hours,the opening time for Tatkal quota and general quota booking for opening day, it may kindly be noted that near about three lakhs tickets are being booked through Internet every day. Highest average number of passengers per minute are booked during 08.00 A.M to 08.30 A.M only when the response is slow due to heavy rush. Tatkal Quota berths/seats in important trains get booked very soon (within minutes) on the opening day as the booking is being done througout the country on a large number of face to face Railway terminals and also through Internet by a large number of people through Internet. On average Near about 30,000 tickets are being booked through Internet daily between 08.00 hours to 09.00 hours ,out of which 80 % are Tatakal tickets booked from IRCTC site.A large number of passengers try to login the website at 08.00 hours and there can be some difficulty in login due to a very large number of passengers trying to login all together.The system's working in general is O.K.

If we are gettting service unavilable error, How can u tell from 8.00 am to 9.00 am 30,000 tickets are booked. Are you trying to make public fool

Rudra said on 6/8/2010 2:17:38 PM:
Dont make public fool. I hope you are supporting the railay staff. Its completely bad as per my experience. All agents are able to book but not public innocent passengers those who needs the tatkal ticket.

Amit said on 6/24/2010 1:08:42 PM:
Rightly said.

Huzefa said on 11/25/2010 12:11:58 PM:
That is the idea. The agents gets priority. The poor public has no option but to go to the agent and buy the same ticket paying 250 rupees or more to the agent in adition to the actual ticket cost. India is supposed to be the best in IT. In fact the developed countries are outsourcing their IT jobs to India and India itself cannot manage such a small problem ??? SO very unfortunate for India

Amit said on 6/24/2010 1:07:41 PM:
Hi Ajay, I think there's some loophole. If service remains unavailable between 8 to 8:30 AM both on internet & reservation counters then how it is possible that when we are able to login, there are no vacant berths left to reserve. May be something is going on the backend or the systems allows login to agents for greater profit.

girish said on 5/31/2010 12:33:00 PM:
This site is not working from 8.00 am to 8.30 pm in the new interface also. I had enquired outside with the railway reservation brokers. They told it won't work for the public from 8.00 am to 8.30 am because they want to book the tickets through brokers especially TATKAL quota

tatkal said on 5/31/2010 2:47:27 PM:
pay 300 to the brokers and get your work done. simple or firm the queue in the counter from 4:30 am

sirsh said on 6/1/2010 2:00:39 PM:
Hi takal, Pls think about the middle & poor people who can't bear 300rs.

Arjun MP said on 6/2/2010 11:48:16 AM:
Website is such like that prioritized to agents by making normal users on hold, it was like that since the payment process for agents was at IRCTC servers itself where as rest normal banks should leave control from IRCTC to banks and again reaches IRCTC after making payment, mean while servers busy(load heavy) and requests stays in queue leads to delaying in processing the transaction.

Arjun MP said on 6/2/2010 11:51:06 AM:
ignore above once, starting line missing 'NOT' ... consider below one's ... :) Website is NOT such like that prioritized to agents by making normal users on hold, it was like that since the payment process for agents was at IRCTC servers itself where as rest normal banks should leave control from IRCTC to banks and again reaches IRCTC after making payment, mean while servers busy(load heavy) and requests stays in queue leads to delaying in processing the transaction.

@sirsh said on 6/4/2010 12:10:27 AM:
the problem that railway knows, poor people travel in general and not even sleeper coach. so they do not bother about the tatkal

MiddleClass said on 6/14/2010 1:16:29 PM:
Please do not generalize sirsh, everybody has a right to book. Anyone may book tatkal. IRCTC should increase there bandwidth to allow easy access of the site.

tatkal said on 6/4/2010 12:30:00 PM:
good they removing the register option. It talkked days to open an account. by the time you fill the form, your services are expired. I disliked the old IRCTC

railway said on 7/10/2010 7:51:25 AM:
If middle people can not be bear 300rs so stand on time on railway counter that sit,

Raj said on 11/21/2010 9:20:23 PM:
above every one say irctc agent book tatkal ticket very easy.. way but this is not true i am also agent same problem we also face .. like session expire, due payment not received form bank.. seat not match so ticket is not book... communication error & so many...which you people not seen.. in seesion time it not possible to Book Up/Bhihar Ticket...bcoz within 10-15 second all train is boook..

Huzefa said on 11/25/2010 12:18:32 PM:
If agents are not getting the tickets, online users are not getting tickets, people on reservation counters are not getting ticket, then where does all the tickets go withing 15 mins. Raj, as an agent you must be missing your link somewhere in railway. I was also told by an agent that they get priority. A broker with proper link can get a wait listed ticket confirmed withing hours....

Karan said on 3/9/2012 10:03:37 AM:
Mamata and Dinesh Trivedi are examples of Big Time failures. As the New Railway Minster are not at all serious abt there work as they dont face the hazzel of travelling or booking tickets for train. Get laloo back...

Vinay said on 3/9/2012 10:05:19 AM:
IRCTC Website is Not working Fine. Kindly Pay attention to your work. Mr Aggrawal and Dinesh Trivedi. We should be growing faster than countries like China in IT.
