There was a time when IRCTC official website was a joke because it took ages to book a ticket. The site was incredibly slow that it was subject to numerous memes across social media. But things changed with time, Indian Railways took note of all this and worked on it. The site is much better now; its speed has improved. You can book a ticket without breaking a sweat. This is only about booking a regular ticket, and not tatkal. Booking a tatkal ticket is still a nightmare.
As trains are the easiest, the most convenient, and the most economical mode of transportation, the majority of Indians depend on trains. According to comScore and ASSOCHAM India report, IRCTC ranks first among the leading travel websites in India. One out of five users visits IRCTC on a daily basis and almost 30 million unique visitors monthly. The site gets heavily crowded between 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., as this is the time IRCTC allows tatkal booking. The average number of tatkal tickets sold every day is a whopping 2.66 lakhs!
If you’ve ever booked a tatkal ticket, you would know how hard it is. It seems like a fight against time. Every second count. The difficulty of last minute travel plan is on one side and losing your tatkal ticket to someone who’s been faster than you by a fraction of second is another. Majority of the time is lost during filling in the details of the travel. If you don’t have a fast internet connection and your typing speed is not up to the mark, you will lose it. But then again, you are trying to book along with more than 2 lakh people. Fast internet connection and fast typing can only go to a certain extent. You need assistance beyond that. This is where “tatkalforsure” comes into the picture.

Team Tatkal for sure seems to clearly understand this. The tabs on tatkalforsure are self-explanatory: Generate Ticket, Enter New Trip Details, Create a New Trip, and the like. The layout neat, the process simple.

In this age of technology and innovation, nothing is asking for too much, don’t you think?
