A grab from the irctc login page official website old interface.

When the IRCTC login page opens it gives you an option to login. If you are a new visitor you should create your account first. Instruction to create a new account can be found on the official irctc website itself. Please make sure that all the details that you put in are correct. If you make a fake account irctc can disapprove your account at a later stage without any warning and can file a case against you for false impersonation.

The best thing about the irctc website is that it accepts all major Indian banks debit/credit cards and the payment is also possible via internet banking. I am using the website for the past 10 years and so far I have got no problems except few errors and payment failures. In case your payment is done i.e. amount from bank account is debited but ticket not booked then you need not worry. The system automatically reverses the payment and you get your money back within a week. So if your money is deducted and you didn't get your money back to your account you don't need to worry. Just for few days or about two weeks and even after you have not got your irctc login money back do try to contact irctc customer care.

Update: A great news for the irctc login registration users is that it is working on a brand new more user-friendly website which has been launched through the last week of April 2014. This new site is more robust, fast and gives less errors than the previous one. But as you can see irctc people are more concerned in revenue generation than hassle free user experience that's why the login username and password is in the middle of the page and you to look for it very carefully. For your covenience I have put here a screen shot of the login page.

IRCTC is now improving and has shed some ads to let you login fast by opening their homepage fast but most people think that this will not help in making the website fast as well because number of users are increasing exponentially. As per the railway budget 2013 it was able to handle 120,000 users at any given time.

rail टिकट कैसे बुक करें?

तत्काल टिकट कैसे बुक करें? हम जब कभी यात्रा की सोचते हैं और वह भी अचानक तब मन में यही बात खटकती है कि टिकट का क्या होगा?

अगर आप निम्न लिखित बातोँ पर ध्यान रखें तो आप खुद irctc.co.in की वेबसाइट से तत्काल टिकट निकाल सकते हैं। जी हाँ बिना किसी एजेंट की मदद के। 

1. इस प्रक्रिया में सब से बेसिक लेकिन ज़रूरी है कि आप का i r c t c की साइट पर अपना अकाउंट हो। अकाउंट खोलने की जानकारी आप को यहाँ  सकती है। 
2. ऑनलाइन पेमेंट के लिए पहले से मन बना लें कि किस अकाउंट से करना है। अगर आप के पास स्टेट बैंक ऑफ़ इंडिया का है और इंटरनेट बैंकिंग भी है तो आई आर सी टी सी  के लिए two स्टेप वेरिफिकेशन हटा दें वर्ना पेमेंट प्रोसेस करने में इतना टाइम लग जायेगा कि साड़ी सीटें बुक हो चुकी हूँगी। 
3. सब से महत्पूर्ण ! आप वेबसाइट ctrlq.org/irctc पर जा कर रिजर्वेशन के लिए भरा जानेवाला फॉर्म पहले से भर लें। यह आपका रेल रिजर्वेशन में लगने वाला समय कम कर देगा और आपको दूसरों से पहले टिकट मिलने का चांस बढ़ जायेगा। दाहने हाथ की फोटो उसी वेबसाइट की है। अगर फॉर्म भरने में कुछ समझ में न आये तो वीडियो वाला बटन क्लिक करें और डिटेल में पूरी प्रक्रिया को समझ लें। याद रखें कि इस वेबसाइट का रेलवे की वेबसाइट से कुछ भी लेना देना नहीं है। यह केवल एक सहायक मात्र है।
   मैजिक ऑटो फिल फॉर आई आर सी टी सी के नाम से जाना जाने वाला यह फॉर्म एक सटीक हथियार है। इस वेबसाइट पर दिया फॉर्म आपके गूगल क्रोम या मोज़िल्ला फायर फॉक्स या इंटरनेट एक्स्प्लोरर के बुकमार्क्स बार पे सेव
   
   होजायेगा।  
4. अच्छा होगा कि रात 12:30 के बाद आप पूरी प्रक्रिया को सच में प्रैक्टिस कर लें ताकि सुबह 10 बजे आप हर तरह से तैयार रहें 
5. इतना कुछ करने के बाद भी अगर आप टिकट नहीं निकाल पा रहे तो फिर एजेंट का सहारा लें। हमारा भारत अभी भी ऐसे चोरों से भरा पड़ा है जो हर सिस्टम की म** ब** एक करने में लगे हैं। करप्शन मुक्त भारत की प्रतीक्षा करें। 

तत्काल टिकट 

IRCTC Ticket Booking - Tips and Tricks

Of late many stories and articles have been published in the media about the misuse of tatkal scheme by touts and travel agents. This to my knowledge is very much true.
Yet I have successfully managed to book tatkal tickets from irctc website, and I do it regularly for my personal use. Here is how I do it:

• I always use Mozilla Firefox as my internet web browser for booking tickets online. mozilla somehow communicates better, persists with the irctc.co.in server and gives very few timeout errors. 
• Please do not forget to install a very useful script from greasemonkey. the scrip is called 'auto refesh'.
• Login to your account (now https://www.irctc.co.in/eticketing/loginHome.jsf) web account atleast 30 minutes before the tatkal booking opens. By the way takal booking open at 10:00AM so you should login preferably at 9:30AM.
• When the first page opens do not type anything and keep your page refreshing at the regular intervals( within 3 minutes) if you have not installed auto refresh script.
• You will notice that as the booking open time approaches your page takes longer to load after each refresh. Please ensure your last refresh at 10:00 AM is around 9:58 or 9:59AM.
  
  
• When you notice that time in the bar as shown above is 10:00AM or more, process your booking accordingly. The faster the better, as you are competing with thousands others it is better to have a faster internet connection, good speed PC/Laptop and quick fingers to type faster.
• You will also need an ID detail of the traveller to fill in so keep the details handy before you jump in.

All the best.

New IRCTC System Gives Relief to Reservation Seekers

Steps taken by irctc to correct the drawbacks of tatkal misuse has started bearing fruits. A recent report in the Hindu confirms this:

The changes in the reservation scheme, implemented from this past Tuesday, have led to improvements in the performance of the Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website and in the number of bookings.

Basheer Ahmad, who got a tatkal ticket after standing in queue for around an hour or so at Nizamuddin railway station on Wednesday morning, did not have happy memories about getting tatkal tickets either from the railway reservation counter or though the IRCTC website. There were occasions when he spent the night outside the railway station just to be the first in queue, which got moving at 8 a.m.

“I came here at 9 a.m. today because I wanted to see if the new timing had made any changes in the way a common man like me gets reservation done. To my surprise, I got the reservation!” said Ahmad, a resident of Bihar.

Delhi University student Asutosh Kumar has access to Internet at home but preferred coming to the reservation counter because it is “almost impossible” to get a tatkal reservation online.

Talking about the “horrible” experience with the IRCTC website, Kumar said: “As per my experience, there is no point in trying to get a reservation through the IRCTC website. I have not yet tried booking tickets online after the changes made by IRCTC. I just hope it works because then I will not need to come to the reservation counter.”

Since Tuesday, no authorised agents, including agents of the IRCTC and others, were allowed to book tatkal tickets from 10 a.m. to 12 noon from the counters as well as the Internet.

IRCTC Joint General Manager (Public Relations) Pradip Kundu said IRCTC has been getting good feedback. The number of hits on the website site at 10 a.m., the time the tatkal tickets are open for reservation, have decreased almost by half, leading to smooth functioning of the website.

“Previously there used to be more than eight lakh hits when the counters opened for general and tatkal tickets. Since Tuesday, there have been around 4.5 lakh hits on the IRCTC site at 10 a.m. With a fixed number of berths available under the scheme, the extremely high number of hits used to play spoilsport for the common man. Since the last few days, IRCTC has been able to increase the number of reservation thanks to the series of measures it took to dilute the monopoly of touts and agents over reservation,” said Mr. Kundu.

“The changes brought about by IRCTC include increasing the bandwidth of the website from 344 mbps to 450 mbps, besides limiting reservation to two tickets per IP address. We have deleted around 44,000 multiple user IDs — a trick adopted by reservation agents and touts,” he added.
