FASTER IRCTC WEBSITE DURING TATKAL HOURS
Do you ever noticed the IRCTC website different look during the Tatkal hours. Now during the Tatkal booking peak time till 11: 59 AM the IRCTC website avoided the advertisements and non necessary links for faster loading the web page. The advertisements avoided both IRCTC Login Page as well as Travel Planner page.
During Tatkal Ticket booking peak hours IRCTC booking login page displayed following message "Experience the new lightweight version of website during tatkal hours"

Almost all the IRCTC customers appreciated this move while booking their tickets during the peak booking hours.

How to Book Confirmed Tatkal Train Tickets [IRCTC]
Tatkal ticket is the only way when you have to travel by train in emergency. It can be booked 24 hours or 1 day before departure date of the train. Problem is that you don’t get Confirmed Tatkal Tickets as quota is less and IRCTC Website doesn’t load easily during peak hours.
Not just the less quota is responsible for it but also there are many issues like Server Failure (due to load or done deliberately), Mass booking by IRCTC Agents and moreover Luck.
Here, I will share some tricks by which you can get a confirmed tatkal ticket on the go. Most of the Time is consumed filling up form details so, we’ll try to minimize that first.
Updated on 05th May 2012
Trick mentioned earlier used “Quick Book” feature of IRCTC Website but it is no more available during 10:00 to 11:00 AM IST so, only the regular booking option left for you.
Don’t worry because it is not just you but Quick Book won’t be available for anyoneso just concentrate on minimizing time spent on each step while booking.
1. Things You Will Need
Go to erail.in and enter the station name and Date. Search Result will get first two things. If you are on windows 8, you may also try out Free Indian Railways Enquiry Apps for Windows 8.
- Station Code – Though, Auto-suggestions are provided while typing out Station name but many a times it won’t or may time time. So, Entering Station Code yourself is recommended.
- Train Priority – By knowing the train names, you can decide upon which Train to try first.
- Identity Proof of any one Passenger- It is recommended to write down Driving License No or Voter ID or PAN Card number on Notepad and Copy it.
- 3 Web Browsers - Install Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera on your System.
- Multiple IRCTC Accounts – Don’t make it with Fake Details but one yours and other can be your Wife’s/Father’s or Friend’s account. At least two are recommended.
2. Trial Run
This Step has to be carried out 1 Day Earlier or before 9:30 AM on the day of booking. What I mean by trial run is carrying out booking steps as we are going to do as in Tatkal. Only difference is using “General Quota” option and closing the session on Payments page.
Why Trial Run?To Keep Travelers’ Name in Browser Memory and don’t have to fill out all names while booking Tatkal. Just Mouse Click on Form Field will suggest names and can be entered without typing. This will save significant amount of time if there are more than two travelers.
Also, if using Credit Card, it can be used to save that 16 digit number separated in 4 form fields.
3. Keep Session Active
Tatkal Train ticket booking starts at 10 AM. So, you need to gear up early (say 9:40 AM) and try logging in Website before clock strikes 10 AM.
Open all 3 Web Browsers and login into IRCTC Website using different IDs and keep it active.
To do that, Find Trains in General Quota on same date, it will take few minutes and that’s what we want- just pass time till 10:00 according to IRCTC timing.
4. Start Booking
If the clock at IRCTC page says it is already 10:00:00 Hrs then start with the procedure one by one on all Browsers. Fill out the form just by double clicking mouse and entering the suggested names.
Keep in Mind – Never trust on the progress of booking on any procedure until you see the CONFIRM Ticket booked page. Keep going through the steps on all browsers simultaneously and stop not until at least 1 says “Booked”. I have personal experience of getting error message at the final steps so beware.
My Question is:
- Why Log in from Multiple Browsers?
A – Just in case, you get “Service Unavailable” message or sometimes some browser gets lucky to get your requests done quicker. - Why Multiple Accounts when I can do it from One on all browsers?
A – If we are keeping process on going from different browsers on same account, chances are that, at the last time moment, IRCTC will reject your transaction saying one or more session open. - Why Not AutoFilling Addons instead of Trial Run?
A – You can use them too if you know but as here we are dealing with multiple browsers, Trial Run will be same for all and work in similar fashion. - How to Deal with “Service Unavailable” or “Unable to Connect”
A – Generally happens after train selection or filling out any form. Press Reload button and click on “Resend Data” when pop-up appears.
What does CKWL Tatkal Ticket means?
In a rare case, it may happen that while moving on to bank webpage, you are shown Availability but till you come back, the ticket provided has status CKWL.
CKWL means the Waiting List in Tatkal Quota which differs from GNWL (General Waiting List). In my case, CKWL 5 was cleared up within 2 hours of booking but it may vary train to train.
The above procedure tries to minimize the time spent in filling up forms and speed up tatkal booking so, you can grab confirm tatkal ticket before the quota is over. Good Luck and let us know of your success rate in getting a confirm tatkal ticket.
You may feel that the procedure is too lengthy to follow but read it once completely, it will take time in first shot especially for non tech-savvy people but it is easy to follow and a matter of getting Confirmed Tatkal Tickets

IRCTC Tatkal Booking Tips,
First Go to the link http://www.irctcpnr.in/irctc-
Press Ctrl+B. Create a folder named irctc in the Bookmarks
Now Click on Login tab. Enter your irctc Login Credentials and click on Create Autofill
You will see a button name Login(Drag me to Toolbar)
Now right click on Login(Drag me to Toolbar) click Bookmark this link, or drag it to the irctc folder you created in Bookmarks.
Repeat the procedure for Plan my travel and Passenger details as well after filling the data.
Credit Card Details.
Please do not use this technique for entering credit card details. As it is highly dangerous,
The data could be saved in the website and could be used illegally.
I don't recommend using this technique for entering credit card details.
If you use it, it's purely under your own risk.
Please remember whatever data you enter here will be filled in the irctc website,
So enter the data carefully. If you enter any wrong or dummy data that will be reflected in your irctc main website while booking tatkal ticket.
You need to do the above steps before 9:50AM. You should finish the above steps atleast before 9:55AM and keep the links ready by then.
Synchronizing your system time with the irctc server time accurately is highly important. To synchronize the time. Login to irctc website, After logging in you will see the server time on top right inside the yellow ribbon enter this time in your system even the seconds immediately ASAP. This is an essential step.
Last but important step, Register for irctc eWallet. This has several advantages First let us see how it works. When you select payment option, the IRCTC server transfers you to the bank server. The bank server after confirming your payment transfers you back to IRCTC server confirming payment. If something happens in between like loss of internet connection or slow connectivity then you are lost. You miss the chance of booking the ticket. So if you have IRCTC eWallet, the money will already be transferred to your eWallet and need not wait for bank servers and you save lot of time by bypassing transfer from IRCTC server to Bank server and again from Bank sever to IRCTC server for payment confirmation.
Details about IRCTC eWallet can be seen here.

https://www.irctc.co.in/
Now goto irctc.co.in at 9:55AM.
Now click on the login link in the bookmark that you created. Login data will be entered and you will be logged in to the website.
After logging in, Click on plan my travel link in bookmark. It will enter journey details.
And you will see the train details. Select the train you wish to travel.
Now if you have selected the train before 9:57AM. Click on the same train again at 9:58:30AM. So that you will not expire you session when you click on "Book".
If you finished above steps before 10AM. Wait for the system clock to cross 10AM. After few seconds over 10AM. Click on "Book" depending on the availability.
After clicking the "Book", You will be taken to the passenger details page. Here click on the Passenger details link you created. It will automatically enter
the details of the passenger including the mobile number for sending sms.
Immediately enter the verification text correctly and click on Go. You will be taken to payment page, select the payment method and clear the payment page as soon as possible. Now wait with the fingers crossed hoping for a confirmed ticket.
Remember timing is highly crucial for every single minute you are losing 1000s of tatkal tickets. And also delay causes you session to expire.
You need to finish all these steps within 10:05AM(I know it is highly impossible, but do the steps from you side ASAP). Success rate goes on decreasing drastically after 10:10AM.
Steps for increasing you probability:
1) Login with alteast two different userid in atleast three simultaneous tabs initially instead of waiting in single tab. But after logging in any one tab close the remaining tabs quickly. You should now have two tabs with two different users logged in (not same user). Proceed with two tabs simultaneously so that if you get error in one tab you can use the other one.
(But remember two logins should not be of same user and also while proceeding for payments proceed with any one of the login. If you give payment in both
user id amount will be deducted and also there are chances that ticket can be booked in both ids, If so you will not get refund on cancellation)
(But remember two logins should not be of same user and also while proceeding for payments proceed with any one of the login. If you give payment in both
user id amount will be deducted and also there are chances that ticket can be booked in both ids, If so you will not get refund on cancellation)
2) Higher the internet speed you have, better are the chances of booking confirmed ticket. As per my observations please avoid BSNL and MTNL connections for booking as they are loaded with heavy traffic that it makes practically impossible to book a ticket successfully.
3) Do not use any software or any hacking tools that are available in the internet for booking tatkal ticket, as hacking government website is an offense according to "Information Technology Act 2000" and you could be caught and punished with upto 7-10 years of imprisonment.
