Netizens expressed their frustration on Tuesday regarding the Indian Railways’ Tatkal booking service, citing persistent ‘Error’ messages while attempting to use the app and website. The Tatkal booking system, managed by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), is meant to provide quick ticketing options for travelers. One user, in a tweet, criticized the service, saying, “If IRCTC Tatkal booking is made for brokers then this service should be stopped. False promises should not be shown. Whenever we book Tatkal tickets, this drama happens.”
This criticism comes on the heels of a statement made by Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on December 4, where he claimed that the IRCTC website maintained 99.98% uptime from April to October 2025. The disparity between the minister’s assertion and user experiences raises questions about the reliability of the service and the effectiveness of the online ticketing system. As discontent grows among passengers, it remains to be seen how the Indian Railways will address these ongoing issues.
