• Login Time: Login In IRCTC in between 10:50 to 10:55 AM IST and Make sure that you are visiting Passenger Detail page first time after login. If you have visited passenger detail multiple times with same login session then there are chances you will get long or difficult Captcha to enter.
• Captcha Problem: Around 60% fill incorrect captcha and because of this there booking time increase to 20 to 30 sec depend on their internet speed. Please read full article how to resolve captcha error.
• Internet Speed: Having only autofill extension is not enough for you it will just fill you data in no time but main criteria to book IRCTC Tatkal in just 20 sec is your internet speed. If you don’t have good internet speed you can’t book in 19 sec. below are my few suggestions:
  • Always use good Internet services provider like BSNL, MTNL, Airtel etc., using local internet services provider may cause lots of trouble I personally face issue when my internet was down at 10 AM :(
  • Check with your have Internet services provider that your IP address is not share with other customer because IRCTC allow only 2 Tatkal booking with same IP from 8 to 12 PM IST, so make sure you have unique IP address or get one from you ISP.
  • Try to buy 2 MBPS speed pain if it is out of budget you should have 1MBPS, you can find good tariff plain in market.
  • Close all application which is using internet service, page like Facebook, Gmail, Skype they use internet while you are not browsing anything, so keep only IRCTC and myRailinfo Site open in your machine.
• Computer Speed: Most people have good internet speed, autofill extension but still not able to get confirm ticket in 20 sec why??
  • Many don’t know is that apart from you internet speed your computer speed does matter while booking Tatkal ticket.
  • Use browser carefully, Firefox is good browser but it use more of your computer resources, so If you have running Firefox in low RAM machine then it will cause problem for you.
  • Google Chrome is best browser, it use low of your machine resources and work faster than any other modern browser in Window machine
  • If you have Anti-Virus software installed, make sure you disable it in Tatkal hours, because Antivirus software will scan all your inward and outward traffic, time taken is in micro second but it will make different when you are booking IRCTC Tatkal ticket.
  • Always restart your computer machine before you book tatkal ticket, always clean you temp memory these step help in increase your computer speed.
  • Close all application which is running on your computer.
• Payment Getaway: Choose best payment getaway which take less time to process your transaction. I have observed that most of the public are using SBI debit card or net baking this make SBI payment getaway very slow and sometime not responsive and you get an error message “connection Time out or server not responding”.
  • Try to avoid SBI payment gateway in festival session.
  • Use net banking or debit card of private bank like (HDFC, ICICI) or use Credit card which is very fast in festival session when compare to SBI gateway
  • Avoid payment gateway which have too many page redirection.
• Network Latency: This term is not common to general public, I will explain you it in detail: IRCTC web server are located in New Delhi and anyone who is booking Tatkal ticket from Chennai will take more time when compare to person who is booking ticket for New Delhi. I will not recommend you to use proxy server here because they can steal your payment detail, so make some friend form New Delhi who can book your tatkal ticket :). Time difference is in micro second so you can ignore it.

Network Latency From Different Location

• Train Selection:
  • Always select a train which have more no of seat compare to train which have less seat.
  • Always keep some backup pain when booking Tatkal ticket, like take help form you family member or friend and open two sessions for same train in different machine and continue till payment gateway. If one session fails then continue with other one, If you get some error and re-login after 10 AM makes very less probability to book confirm ticket. So second session always help to continue and chances are very good to get confirm Tatkal ticket.
• Save Pages in Browser Cache: Browser like Chrome & Firefox save static content in there cache, which means when you visit site page first time then it will download for IRCTC server but when again you open same page then browser first check that page in its cache if page found it won’t download it form IRCTC server, you can any time reload whole page by pressing Ctrl + F5. Browser save static content like JavaScript, Image, CSS and static HTML file in its chase.

Irctc Captcha Solution www.myrailinfo.in

I am writing this article because we are getting lots of comment to solve IRCTC Captcha problem. Lots of people are commenting that they are entering correct Captcha but still they are getting error message “Invalid Captcha” and asking me for the solution so I decided to help you all. Below is the solution to the problem (So please read it till end).

Why IRCTC Putting Difficult Captcha in TATKAL hours:

I have observed that IRCTC has change the format of the Captcha in Tatkal hours which is very difficult to read, because of the size and the strikeout line which make it more difficult to read, according to my observation if anyone enter captcha quickly without paying attention to it then there is 75-90 % or probability that you will get Captcha error message.

In non Tatkal hour captcha is very clear and easy to read and error rate is 10- 20 % or less. So IRCTC intensely putting these difficult captcha in peak Tatkal hour, but question is why?

All this difficult captcha come after the incident happen last month, when all ticket of Gujrat Mail Train where sold out within 20 sec and all of them were booked via IRCTC web site online and the people standing in queue on Railway Ticket booking window got waiting list ticket (Read full news). That’s why difficult captcha is coming in tatkal hour. So that people who are standing in long queue will get confirm ticket at least one or two. According IRCTC official anyone who has good internet speed and good type skill then he/she can book a ticket in just 20sec.

What Is Captcha

• What is IRCTC Captcha – IRCTC Captcha is an image with some alpha- numeric character which is unique for every page load/refresh for all users.
• Why IRCTC Put Captcha- IRCTC or any other site have captcha to stop spam or automation script run on site.

How to bypass/Automate Captcha

ByPass Captha: It is impossible to bypass captcha on IRCTC Site during normal or in Tatkal hours, one has to enter captcha manually.

Rumola Captcha Solution: Rumola is a Google Chrome and Firefox Extension which can be used to automate the captcha, than what is the problem?

• Rumola is not free and it will charge you with heavy amount in US Dollar.
• The major problem with Rumola is speed, it will take more time and manually you can fill captcha faster than Rumola
• And last it is Captcha automation and you can’t rely on it so I advise you to fill yourself manually and follow below step.

Solution to Fill IRCTC Captcha correctly without any error

• Size Problem: Size of Captcha image during Tatkal hour is very small so increase the size of image so that you can read captcha easily. You can do that by zooming your browser (I have zoom out around 200%)

Zoom Your Page to 200%
After Zoom Captcha is clearly visible
Once Captcha is Entered reset zoom

• Reload Captcha: Most of the time IRCTC send incorrect Captcha in Tatkal hours if you reach passenger detail page quickly, so trick is always reload captcha when passenger detail page is loaded, you can do that by clicking refresh captcha image. It will not more than 1 or 2 sec to reload captcha.
• Pause 5 sec: Ounces Captcha is loaded then give a pause of 2-5 sec and read captcha carefully. Paly safe if you enter wrong captcha then you have to fill it again and in whole process you will waste around 15 to 20 sec, so my point is wait 5 sec is always good instead of wasting 20 sec.
• Confusion in letter ‘J’ : Always reload Captcha when there is letter ‘J’ or give a pause for 5 sec and make sure if J is capital or small letter. 60 % of error is coming in captcha which is heaving latter ‘J’, where people confuse between small and capital case. You can avoid this issue only when you pause for 5 sec.
• Typing Skill: Always Type Captcha with single hand and with single finger. Typing with single hand & single figure is slow but your success rate is increase by 10 – 20%
• Captcha Length: Make sure that you are visiting Passenger Detail page first time after login. If you have visited passenger detail multiple times with same login session then there are chances you will get long or difficult Captcha to enter.
• Login Time: Try to login between 09:50 – 09:55 AM IST.
• Practice Make a Man Perfect: Practice entering Captcha before booking Tatkal ticket.

By using above trick I never get captcha error and always got confirm ticket in Tatkal hours. You can read my another post How to Book Tatkal Ticket in just 20 sec which can help you to get confirm Tatkal ticket.
