Only 2 tatkal/tickets between 08:00 Hrs to 10:00 Hrs per User ID/IPaddress-Solution

This post would be helpful if you’re planning to book railway ticket (Indian Railways Tatkal). Today morning, I was trying to book tatkal ticket from my office laptop/computer and it was giving me the the following error/warning. So, I’m unable to book the ticket. I’ve connected my data card to get new public IP and booked the ticket. Only 2 tatkal tickets between 10:00 Hrs to 12:00 Hrs per IP Address. Recently, the Railway booking system had gone through very interesting and useful enhancements ( https://www.irctc.co.in/ ). Tatkal ticken booking timing has been modified. IP tracing is enabled. This will help to avoid bulk booking by agents. Because of IP tracing we won’t be able to book railways tickets from our office computers. Most of the offices use proxy to provide internet connectivity to individual computers however they’ve only one public IP. Hence, we won’t be able to book ticket (Only 2 tatkal tickets between 10:00 Hrs to 12:00 Hrs per IP Address.) if somebody from your office already booked a ticket or two just before :) More Details about the enhancements can be found below. You are Permitted: 1) Only 2 tickets between 08:00 Hrs to 10:00 Hrs per User ID. 2) Only 2 tatkal tickets between 10:00 Hrs to 12:00 Hrs per IP Address. 3) Only 2 tickets between 10:00 Hrs to 12:00 Hrs per User ID. Solution: >Book Ticket from your personal laptop, not office laptop >Don't connect VPN and book, disconnect VPN and book Hope this helps
