With a view to further improve the delivery of Tatkal tickets to passengers, the Ministry of Railways has decided that with effect from 10.07.2012 booking of Tatkal ticket will start at 1000 hours on the previous day of journey from train originating station instead of 0800 hours at present.
No authorised agents, including agents of IRCTC and RTSAs/RTAs will be allowed to book Tatkal tickets from 1000 hours to 1200 hours. The existing restriction of not allowing these agents booking of general tickets on the opening day from 0800 hours to 1000 hours will also continue.

the tatkal amendment supposedly done on 10/07/2012 and today is 25/04/2014 still when a lay man(registered user of irctc)tries to book a ticket or tries to access the www.irctc.co.in site between 10am to 12pm he will never succeed in doing so am saying this b'cause am trying this from the past 1 and 1/2 month unsuccesfully,many of my friends and fmly have the same to complain about,so it goes to prove that the home page access where u actual manovure ur booking is inaccessible to the lay man which means access is defaulted to a certain group,now who gets that access is a matter of investigation for the railway ministry and not the rly officials...sorry state of affairs Mr RAILWAY MINISTER.
