Advanced IRCTC Tatkal Booking Software
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
I run a travel service that handles a large daily volume of Tatkal rail tickets, so I need a Windows-based application that can squeeze every possible second out of the booking workflow while remaining fully compliant with IRCTC’s latest front-end changes.
Core functionality required
• Auto-fill passenger details pulled from a local CSV / database so operators never retype information.
• Intelligent captcha bypass that swaps between OCR and third-party solving APIs the moment IRCTC changes its image style.
• Multiple-session handling: one operator may control several simultaneous logins, each with individual IP/proxy and cookie separation, yet managed from a single dashboard.
Commercial context
The tool will be deployed across my team, not just for personal use, so stability, licensing control, and clear logging are important. You may build in .NET, Python + PyInstaller, or any stack you are comfortable with, provided the final deliverable is a single Windows installer plus source code.
Deliverables
1. Compiled Windows installer (.exe or .msi)
2. Full, well-commented source code and build instructions
3. Configuration file template for user credentials, passenger data location, and captcha-solver API keys
4. README that explains startup, session limits, and troubleshooting
5. One-week post-delivery support for bug fixes as IRCTC inevitably tweaks its UI
Acceptance criteria
• End-to-end booking flow (login → search → confirm) completes in under 50 seconds on a standard 20 Mbps line.
• At least 90 % captcha solve success rate over 100 consecutive attempts.
• Three concurrent sessions run without cookie collision or rate-limit bans for a full hour.
If this matches your expertise, let’s discuss the tech you’d prefer and the timeline for staged testing against the live IRCTC site.
