  Hello,

  Thanks for posting such a great information on India railways, but I think the main issue with IRCTC is the REFUND.
  The refund policy is very bad, it may take more then 3-4 months even after many followups via emails and even send a written complaint to the GM of Indian Railways.. This is the only drawback, our Govt. should take some action and improve the refund policy so that customer do not face at least refund problem.

  @Bhanu
  What is the context for your refund? Did you apply for refund after a failed transaction with the bank? So far I’ve never had problems with refunds, which is why I asked. In case of failed bank transactions/ticket booking they usually credit it back to the account automatically

  Hi,

  Once I have used ur mentioned method to book online train ticket in tathkal, but now irctc has blockd rightclick in their pages, so can’t use the method again.

  Regards

  i think quickbook page does not allow right clicking now .
  what now?

• On June 6, 2010 at 7:24 PM Rohit Nair said

  “right click on one of the form textboxes” Try doing that now.

  “Sorry, you do not have permission to right click”
  Workarounds?

  Hay Thanks, for this nice work. I had booked my tatkal ticket by this way. But Now it does not work. When you fill the form and try to rightclik it show the message,”sorry you don’t have permission to right click. Is there any solutions for this.

• On June 9, 2010 at 8:14 AM Anirudh said

  Have found a workaround to the right click problem. Have updated the post

  But if the site is down @ 8:00 am and 30 seconds, there is no use with this technique. and if you have a very good typing speed, i dont think you need this automation. I have booked Tatkal tickets in the past within 1 minute without the help of any automation.

• On June 11, 2010 at 7:32 AM Anirudh said

  If site is down at 8:00:30 there’s no use of any technique. This one is for mere mortals who take time to type

  You are great. That javascript solution is really helpful.

  Thanks

  I find the autofill tool in mozila too many months ago, but do not know how to use it. Great idea about your javascript & autofill tools.

  Since Quick Book is not allowed between 8:00 to 9:00, the above technique doesn’t work. But still there is a technique which works. You can read more at http://www.renjusblog.com/2011/07/irctc-tatkal-trick-book-confirmed.html
