THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF 2 DAYS FOR TATKAL SEWA,THE SERVICE HAS BECOME PATHETIC……..
I USED TO BOOK TICKET THROUGH NORMAL QUOTA AND IF I DON’T GET THE TICKET THEN I EASILY GET THE TICKETS IN TATKAL QUOTA………..BUT AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF 2 DAYS FOR TATKAL QUOTA FROM 01/08/2009,IT HAS BECOME A HEADACHE FOR US, EVERY TIME I TRY TO BOOK TICKET THROUGH TATKAL SERVICE IT SAYS NOT AVAILABLE……..I AGREE THAT THAT IT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE……..BUT WHEN I TRY TO BOOK A TICKET THROUGH TATKAL SEWA FOR 2OTH OF THE MONTH THEN I SHOULD APPLY AFTER 18TH OF THAT MONTH….BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT SHOWS THAT THERE ARE NO TICKETS FOR 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28………………..
I DO HAVE A QUESTION —-IF THERE IS A 2 DAYS ADVANCE BOOKING FOR TATKAL THEN HOW CAN IT SHOW FOR THE STATUS AFTER 20,BECAUSE IF I NEED TO BOOK A TICKET THROUGH TATKAL FOR 27,THEN I SHOULD TRY AFTER 25…….SO HOW IS POSSIBLE THAT WHEN I TRY TO BOOK FOR 20TH TICKET ON 18TH AND I GET TO SEE THE REST OF MONTHS TICKET’S NOT AVAILABLE?????????
WHAT IS THIS???????????????????
IT IS SIMPLY HARASSMENT OF PEOPLE LIKE US………………
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I AM FACING THIS PROBLEM……….THIS PROBLEM HAS STARTED FROM 01/08/2009 ITSELF…..AND I FACE THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I TRY TO BOOK TICKET THROUGH IRCTC SITE…………FINDING NO REASON OUT I NEED TO BOOK THE TICKET FROM THE RAILWAY COUNTER ITSELF……..
I BEG TO SAY THAT IF THIS IS THE TYPE OF SERVICE YOU ARE PROVIDING THEN WHAT’S THE NEED OF HAVING AN ACCOUNT????????????

I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED A WORD DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE STATUS SHOWN ………….
