Agents IRCTC Login Booking Trick

IRCTC Login

With lots of agents and IRCTC Login problems people usually are unable to book tatkal tickets but agents who are not allowed to book tickets at the tatkal starting time get the tickets for you. Have you ever thought how do they do it? How they manage to book tickets? You will obviously say that its their daily work and they know the best and also have software which let them book fast. Well, I would agree with only one of your point that is their daily work but not the software. It is true that once a software worked and let some agents who paid for the software to book tatkal tickets before tatkal time but I R C T C has overcome this error and software trick. That software costs around Rs.70,000/- according to some newspaper I read.

Tricks that Agents do with IRCTC Login Fast and Book Tatkal Tickets 

First you must know what they use! They use:
  • Mozilla Firefox - it is web browser like internet explorer and can be downloaded from here.
    firefox browser logo
  • Multiple IRCTC accounts / IDs, though this is illegal but they take the risk. I would not suggest you go for multiple accounts though because unlike agents you are concerned about your own ticket or your relatives and friends and your genuine account is sufficient for this purpose.
  • Two or three internet connections. Usually they have one broadband and one or two Net Setter (eg. reliance net or tata docomo dongle photon). For you a good broadband connection will be enough to book a ticket under tatkal scheme.
  • Auto form Fill Scripts (very important factor in booking a tatkall ticket nowadays). You can refer to my post which is in hindi for this purpose.
  • Sometimes using VPN - Virtual Private Network when very slow speed
So the next point is what is the procedure or steps needed to follow?
The steps are too easy and even you can do it easily if followed correctly.
I have written the steps that you needs to follow for tatkal booking. Follow the navigation on the right side of the page to read it. तत्काल टिकट कैसे बुक करें?

IRCTC Website of Indian Railways Experiences Low Bandwidth.

IRCTC website is getting slower day by day. It hangs, refuses to proceed and gives one liners like "service unavailable". The railway minister himself has accepted this in Rajya Sabha on December 14th 2012.
News:
Railway Minister P.K. Bansal has admitted in Rajya Sabha that on many instances the website, www.irctc.co.in for booking online railway tickets in India was experiencing slowdowns and server errors. Online reservation is being done through the website of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (I R C T C), a subsidiary of Indian Railways. Currently the organization has 58 iridium servers and all other technical infrastructure to cater to the needs of the public, however it fails to withstand the heavy load during peak hours in the morning and during holidays.

For availing online reservation one needs to register with the website and provide the personal details like name, address, valid mobile number, valid email and other contact information. Upon registration a welcome mail with username and password and an activation link to access the website will be sent to the applicant. A mobile verification code is also sent to the registered mobile number and the user needs to provide the code when activating the account. The payment options for booking the tickets include credit cards, debit cards, internet banking and cash cards. The passenger can look the PNR status at frequent intervals after booking the ticket. The amount paid for any wait listed ticket will be refunded back in case reservation is not available.

The website provides other information like tour packages, hotels, flights and offer tailor made tour packages to both Indians and foreigners. According to a recent Alexa review on the website, an average user spends around 10 minutes browsing the website and most of the visitors were Asians accessing the website either from home or from their workplace.

Although hundreds of passengers use the website for online booking, complaints regarding its slow speed and many other booking and cancellation issues are on rise day by day. It is argued that the authorities intentionally do not provide extra bandwidth to the website to help the outside agents. According to railways, a sudden surge in online traffic especially during the booking of Tatkal ticket creates trouble to the website.
