"Technical team is working on it and booking will made available soon," IRCTC said in a post on its official X handle.
The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corp.'s e-ticket booking is temporarily affected due to technical reasons, the company said on Thursday.
"Technical team is working on it and booking will made available soon," IRCTC said in a post on its official X handle.
"DUE TO MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY E-TICKETING SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE. PLEASE TRY LATER. FOR CANCELLATION/FILE TDR, PLEASE CALL AT CUSTOMER CARE NO. 14646,0755-6610661 & 0755-4090600 OR MAIL AT etickets@irctc.co.in.," a downtown message on IRCTC's website said.

In a post on X at 2:12 pm, IRCTC informed that E-ticket booking had been resumed at 13:55 hrs.
Several users on social media platform X criticised IRCTC while pointing out that they have faced similar issues with the website frequently. Take a look:
The Ministry of Railways on Monday permitted the Indian Railway Catering And Tourism Corp. to go for long-term tenders for a period of seven years through clustering of trains.
The ministry, in a circular, has made an addition to Para 1 and Para 3, or the Catering Policy, 2017, in order to allow IRCTC to have seven-year tenders, the company announced in an exchange filing.
However, the tenders will be for 5+2 years, with the stipulation that the performance in the first five years be satisfactory.
