One frustrated user complained to railway officials on Twitter, claiming this is a regular problem at 10 AM. They suggested it might be a scam since when the site came back online, only expensive premium tickets were available while regular Tatkal tickets were sold out.

“It is 10:11 am… still IRCTC is not opening…. IRCTC should be enquired and checked… definitely scams are happening. By the time it opens all the tickets are gone…”.

“India reached the moon, but the Indian Railways ticket booking app can’t handle Tatkal booking without crashing. It’s 2024, and a stable server shouldn’t be rocket science!” another passenger commented.
