Yes, it’s not working anymore since IRCTC added an error exception stating – ‘Use our new site’ when we try to login using this trick.
Agent log in option is not working. Then how can I access my old id or I have to create a new id for that. I need a ticket to be cancelled but if I can’t access my old id @hw can I do. Kindly resolve
You can cancel ticket from the new website also. Not only the website, but you can also download IRCTC new mobile app and log in to your account to access all functions as you get on the website.
Or you can just click ‘Agent login’ option present in sidebar :P
Good find :) Although this is no longer working.
i don’t like new look of irctc website
Well, I hope this trick was helpful. I believe new website will be more optimized and faster soon.
