IRCTC Tatkal booking website crashes and payment-stage reloads hinder ticket confirmation

Indian RailwaysPC-2026-02049OtherAnonymous ·
Ministry of Railways, Government of India Railway Board, Ministry of Railways Dear Indian Railways & IRCTC, Why does the IRCTC website repeatedly crash during Tatkal ticket booking? Passengers struggle to book tickets within the first minute, pages keep reloading at the payment stage, and by the time the website responds, tickets are often waitlisted under TQWL. What is the purpose of paying Tatkal charges if passengers cannot even complete their bookings due to technical failures? It is deeply disappointing that ordinary citizens are left struggling while many feel compelled to pay agents extra money just to secure a confirmed ticket. I sincerely request the Hon'ble Railway Minister, Ministry of Railways, and senior IRCTC authorities to investigate this issue, improve website stability, and ensure a fair, transparent booking experience for genuine passengers. Please prioritise passengers' convenience, not just the booking system. Indian citizens deserve a reliable service. #IRCTC #IndianRailways #TatkalBooking #RailwayMinister Railway Board, Ministry of Railways Central Railway
