Respected dimers! How do you book Irctc tatkal train tickets successfully? Even after following all the tips and tricks by fellow dimers I'm only getting TQWL. I have a good internet connection, logged in before 5 to 10 minutes, using Paytm UPI for faster payment, already added passenger list but the problem is IRCTC takes 40 secs to 1 minute to process every step. There was a "Please wait" or "Unable to process" dialogue at each step. So kindly help me with your hacks or tips on how to successfully book a ticket. If you guys know any agent who can book confirmed tatkal tickets help me with his contact details which would be really helpful. Thanks for your answers in advance!

No bro you need to stay at the trains name page and should not click seats availability. At 11 AM we need to proceed further.

It's rush time going on.. hard luck to get it easily. Keep trying with good infrastructure till succeed. There are some free tools available on the internet for doing the automation (prefetching forms data including cards), but use them carefully and from reliable sources only.

Preparation:
1. Add Passenger details in Masterlist before booking
2. If more trains available for that route, choose the best option to book (we can give only one shot in that time)
3. Try Premium Tatkal instead of Normal Tatkal (For sleeper)
Booking:
1. Login to IRCTC App/website at 9:55/10:55.
2. Search for Train details and wait sometime and go to train screen at 9.58/10.58.
3. Exactly at 10:00:05/11:00:05, click the seat availability (Each screen will take its own time, dont come out, be there).
4. Each screen will take atleast 1 min.
5. When u get 'unable to process request' error, try again in same screen, it will go thru in 1 or 2 attempts.
6. In the passenger details screen, nowadays Passenger details is not fetching automaticaly, So in 1st try if it not fetched try to enter manually.
7. Dont forget to choose the option 'Book ticket only is Confirm berth is booked'.
8. Advantage of Prem Tatkal booking, For the 1st 5 mins the Ticket amount will be of Normal Tatkal rate (after every 10% of ticket booked in Prem tatkal, 20% increase will be there in that ticket fare)
Since in tatkal time server is overloaded, system will take atleast 5 mins to move to next slab. So once u get the amount locked in the next screen, u have high chance of booking Prem tatkal tickets in normal tatkal fare.
Even if u forget to choose 'Book ticket only is Confirm berth is booked',once the tickets are full before u get confirmed ticket, ur tickets will not go to WL, since Prem tatkal quota dont have WL.
9. Try paytm UPI and preferably PayTM/HDFC accounts linked with it.
Even if u dont have tickets to book in the upcoming days, try to practice and go till the Ticket amount screen or till UPI screen to feel the process and accustom to the practice.
In some routes like Chennai - Howrah, definitely we will not get tickets. Like this type of routes better option is to get from Agent.

Now-a-days It's all luck factor using app or website
Another efficient approach if tickets required mandatorily is goto nearest railway station, tatkal reservation counter at 8-9am and stand in the line

not tried yet bro. Feel UPI was best and also no addl chgs in UPI.
I heared IRCTC wallet also facing issues at tatkal time. So out of fear not tried that yet.
EDIT: Also i tried Rupay CC UPI for some of Tatkal txns. only 2 went thru, and many times faced issue. So again fall back to PayTM upi with PayTM account.

One thing for sure.... Irctc servers.... And tatkal..... Inversely proportional wala kissa hai aajkal....
Me dono ke sath me bharosa nahi karta.....
On 1st June I was booking mangla lakshadweep It took almost 8 minutes for me to get logged in to the irctc app.... till the time waiting 4 was there..... So decided better to go with the sleeper I already booked for the safer side.....
I don't believe in Modi ji ka vision towards Indian railways when it comes to TATKAL quota.... Better to avoid....
In 3rd AC category...
Also the Indian Railways are the gimmick master scammer.... they firstly book tickets In confirm status , then give you birth in 3rd AC economy ..... when they have separate 3rd AC economy in every train..... When you enquire about the Indian rail they will guide you take refund of the chillar ( balance amount between 3rd AC and 3rd AC economy) which would be hardly 100 to 200 rs in most cases.....

Some routes are very difficult to book. within 30 secs all ticket would have been booked.in those routes. Definitely those are booked in counters.
on an average it will take 5 to 6 mins to complete all process in app/website in current season.
In offseason like july, on weekdays the total time taken will come down to 3 mins and in weekends it will be 4 to 5 mins.

yes, many of tatkal bookers do.. 😎

I was trying to book a tatkal ticket and within 30 seconds all seats got booked 🥹 is there any extension to autofill and fast forward booking?
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9328295
Earlier used some extn for autofill details for Tatkal booking 4 years ago.
Nowadays IRCTC is very active in finding these loopholes and deactivating the same within months from the extn started working.

You need an automated app which will do everything from Logging in to booking a ticket..
Like this app.. link below..
The only thing that matters is internet connection and response time, ping etc.
I think government sites work best on government internet service providers like BSNL MTNL due to lower ping, response time.

Automated apps for tatkal booking
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=i...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=c...
Use at your own risk.
There was one great app, I couldn't find it on the play store now. I booked a 99% confirmed tatkal ticket using that app.
Now we plan our journey 3 months early, so not used that app and that app is also missing. That app was similar to the apps mentioned above. If anyone knows about the same app please provide details or DM me.

I tried to book tatkal tickets on tuesday and today, both time I was only able to login to the booking page at 11:05. What happening is that the website is loading fast, but the login captcha won't load. I don't know why they are not putting the captcha server also on some high availability infrastructure.
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9328275
Today i tried in both App and website, as u said the website was totally useless because of captcha loading, it worked after 5 mins only.
But App went smooth today. IRCTC also introduced Fingerprint sensor authentication from last month, which skips the captcha at the time of login.
As suggested, login to IRCTC app at 10:57, go to Train screen at 10:58/10:59 and at 11:00:05 press Check availablity & Passenger details and proceed to next screens on time.
Better luck for upcoming bookings.
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9328394
Other reasons why people are not able to get confirmed ticket is loophole in Irctc like Tatkal software
some of you might have idea about that already , and i believe irctc / tcs developers know about this and taking money to exploit this thing
i know some guys do mass booking and are able to book like 20 tickets in 1 mins or so.
sadly very very untrusted to purchase but many ppl still doing it .
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9328550
Don't use any hacks while booking tatkal. IRCTC wil block user and mobile no also. Hence we can't use mobile no.
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9328638
I used to book many tatkal tkts in less than 90sec during initial days of mobile app. It used to be done in less than 2 mins till this summer rush. It will get better once school holidays are over

How to use irctc wallet? Wallet activated but not able to load money...
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9330948
My tatkal hitrate is 7/7 so far, must be lucky.

I wud suggest the admin to collect important info from the discussion and help the dimers
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9333974
Good advise i got is "Even if u dont have tickets to book in the upcoming days, try to practice and go till the Ticket amount screen or till UPI screen to feel the process and accustom to the practice."
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9335604
Even I booked many confirmed tatkal tickets but right now it's rush time and not able to book tickets
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9336828
Dont u guys think that govt currently is charging 3time the fare in premium tatkal is unfair. Even rac tickets are not getting confirmed but u get tickets in premium tatkal. Logically they are charging double for the same seat in rac which never gets comfirmed till destination

Can anyone help me book 3 tickets from UP to Mumbai. I recently spoke with one of my colleague he told me his plight he wants to come back but no scope and losing hope and their family needs to reach back home here in Mumbai due to some personal reasons and at the same time i saw this thread so thought of commenting too.
If anyone can help him book tickets ASAP it would be great or any reference who can help them. Money shouldn't be an issue as I'll take of that so don't worry. TIA

I think railway agents are not permitted to book tatkal ticket on tatkal timings, ac after 10.30 am and sleeper after 11.30 am.
I think i booked tatkal tickets successfully most of the time.
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/succesful-tatkal-ticket-booking?page=1#post_9339077
I booked 6 Tatkal 3ac tickets last year and was able to book successfully on the Paytm and redrail app at 10:15 am.
