According to IRCTC Official website, there are 55 Lakh hits per day on their website.
"In addition to over 55 lakh hits per day, we have over 2 lakh individual visitors daily resulting in more than 100000 tickets booked (including I-tickets)and around 8000 I-Tickets are sent to around 200 of India's biggest cities daily in specially crafted envelopes. Other popular services we offer are PNR enquiries and Accommodation queries which are heavily patronized by our customers."
Basically, In Online industry, there advertisments can be either CPM based, CPC based or CPI based
IRCTC has tied up with an online advertising agency called MAD (Mobile And Internet Advertising) which provides all those type of ads. Let's consider the ad type as CPC based.
Now, Let's calculate the Approximate monthly revenue of IRCTC generated by the ads on their website.
- CPM : Cost per Mille (Cost per Thousand Impressions)
- CPC : Cost per Click (Cost per Single Click)
- CPA : Cost per action
IRCTC has tied up with an online advertising agency called MAD (Mobile And Internet Advertising) which provides all those type of ads. Let's consider the ad type as CPC based.
The Major two components of any online Ads (CPC) based are :
1. CTR : Click Through Rate
Its a term used to measure the number of users who clicked the ads. If the CTR is 3%, it represents that 3 out of 100 visitors, clicked the ad.
2. CPC : Cost per Click
It is generally measured in US Dollars. Its the cost of single click on the ad.
1. CTR : Click Through Rate
Its a term used to measure the number of users who clicked the ads. If the CTR is 3%, it represents that 3 out of 100 visitors, clicked the ad.
2. CPC : Cost per Click
It is generally measured in US Dollars. Its the cost of single click on the ad.
Now, Let's calculate the Approximate monthly revenue of IRCTC generated by the ads on their website.
- In India, the CTR varies from 1% to 5% , so let's take the CTR as 3%, This means, 3 out of 100 people click the ads.
- The Indian CPC is always low compared to other countries. It may vary between $0.01 to $0.10. Let's consider the CPC as $0.05. This means, IRCTC earns $0.05 per click on the ads.
Now, CTR = 3% and CPC = $0.05, Daily Hits = 55 Lakhs
Hence,
- Total clicks per day = 55 Lakh * 0.03 => 1.65 Lakh Clicks
- Daily Revenue = Daily Clicks * CPC => 1.65 Lakh * 0.05 = $ 8250 (4.5 Lakhs Daily)
- Monthly Revenue = $ 247500 and that's Freaking Rs. 1.30 Crore !!!
The CPC and CTR never stays constant throughout, It keeps varying. Here is an table which can depict the Monthly Revenue generated with different values of CTR and CPC
Monthly Revenue at 55 Lakh Hits daily( L = Lakhs, Cr = Crores)
| CPC $0.01 | CPC $0.02 | CPC $0.03 | CPC $0.04 | CPC $0.05 | CPC $0.10 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CTR 1% | 9L | 18L | 27L | 36L | 45L | 90L |
| CTR 2% | 18L | 36L | 54L | 72L | 90L | 1.8Cr |
| CTR 3% | 27L | 54L | 81L | 1.08Cr | 1.36Cr | 2.72Cr |
| CTR 4% | 36L | 72L | 1.08Cr | 1.44Cr | 1.80Cr | 3.63Cr |
| CTR 5% | 45L | 90L | 1.35Cr | 1.80Cr | 2.25Cr | 4.50Cr |
Have you ever thought about these mind boggling figures ? This is what IRCTC official website makes a Month. Think of the year !!
The question is : "Is Government making sure that this revenue is added up into Government lockers or as usual it goes into some personal pockets ??" !!
Note :
Though there is no official confirmation of these Revenue figures by IRCTC, but the official number of hits lead us to these values.

How to Get Confirmed Tatkal Ticket on IRCTC
Its very common today that booking an confirmed Tatkal ticket from IRCTC is not less than fighting a war. According to the new rules, the tatkal booking starts at 9AM on the internet and the servers are already hanged up from 8:30 AM.
Here are few short tips which would definitely help you to get the confirmed tickets during tatkal booking.
1. Match your Computer Time with IRCTC Website time
Its quite common that any user keeps the eye on the computer time when he books tatkal tickets, just imagine, what if your system's time is 1 minute late ? your system would show 8:59AM and it would be 9:AM on IRCTC and the tatkal bookings would have been started.
So, Synchronize your computer time to the IRCTC timing.
2. Use Station codes [Very Important]
This is a very important tip which can definitely save your lot of time. Generally what people do is, Suppose they want to book a ticket from Bangalore, they type 'Bang' and wait for the pop down menu which will display the list of matched stations, out of which you can select one.
This wastes a lot of time and that definitely will lose your chances to book an tatkal ticket.
Best Method :
Indian Railway has alloted station codes to each and every station.
For example :
SBC is for Bangalore
ADI is for Ahmedabad
You just type the station code in the Station name, select date, class and press Search. No need to wait for that pop down list, at all !

3. Add Master List of Passengers into your IRCTC account
You can create a master list of all passengers who are likely to travel on the tickets booked by you, so that while booking tickets you can easily input data from this list.
Whenever you are booking a tatkal ticket, no need to type their name, age and other details, as you can select that directly from the list which would definitely save your precious time
4. Keep all the Details ready with you
Its always an good idea to type all the information as 'Name' and 'ID' number into a notepad, so that you can directly copy paste into the irctc booking window and save your time, while booking the ticket.
Even the payment options as Card number, Name of the card holder etc can be typed temporarily into notepad, so that you can copy paste that and the booking can be done faster.
[Note : Don't keep the credit/debit card details saved on pc, it may be harmful]
5. Use the Magic Fill to fill the information
The Magic tool created by Amit Agarwal can really do the wonders to save the precious seconds while booking the ticket.
ctrlq.org/irctc is a tool which can be used to add the passenger information. Just before say 10-15 minutes of booking, open the link, add up the information and click 'I'm feeling lucky'. You will get a Magicfill button on the bottom right corner of the window. Just drag it to bookmarks of your browser.
Now, when its the time to fill the information into the irctc passenger page, just click on the magicfill from the bookmarks and the passenger information would automatically filled and you can proceed to payment.
The Usage of Magic fill is explained in the Video below :
6. Use Multiple Login Ids
If you dont have multiple IRCTC accounts, create one, using the details of any of your family members.
Now, whenever you need to book tatkal tickets, Open the different account in different browser.
If you open one in Google Chrome, open another account in Mozilla firefox, because irctc will detect and terminate the session, if you do from the same browser.
If these tips help you in booking the tatkal tickets, please do Share this with your friends, so that everyone can use them.
The Amazing Memories of School Days
Few things which every single person misses and wants it to get back is, 'Childhood' and the 'School days'. In the most busy life, just a small incident or memory of those days bring a random smile on the face and it feels so good.
Here is one of the SMS Forwards which I got and I love to share this.
"Once choosing the colour of a sketch pen was a tough task.
Occupying the window seat in the school bus was called obsession.
Getting a toffee as a birthday treat from a friend made our day.
Being the first one to finish copying from the blackboard was the ultimate moment of pride.
Hiding the answers from a bench partner during exams was not called selfishness.
When homework was the only torture & finished it soon,so could get some extra time to play.
Early to bed, early to rise was life’s mantra, but how we loved sleeping late and having some extra TV time!
Owning a cycle was like owning everything.
To look good was only to use a neat comb.
We didn’t need FB or a phone to keep in touch!
We thought all elders are ideal, when Daddy was the only hero and Mom was the only Best friend.”
So what they say is right."
“Everybody dies twice. Once when their childhood ends.”
We will miss Sachin Sadly : Pakistan Team
Even the Pakistan team could not resist themselves praising Sachin, before the Indo Pak series, as they spoke about sachin during their net practice at Bangalore
Pakistan captain Md Hafeez told, "We will miss Sachin sadly though we have been looking forward to play against him in this series. As a nation and players, we feel sad that Sachin has retired from ODIs ahead of this series, as he had his debut in international cricket on Pakistan soil (1989). The world will miss his artistry on the field as he has been a great entertainer of the game,"
He also added, "We admire the man for his sheer domineering character who rattled all types of bowlers around the world. We all can praise his efforts to excel in international cricket. There is no doubt that he is a genius. We wish him good luck for the future,"
Sohail Tanveer said, "I enjoyed bowling to him because the margin of error was so less that he could dispatch even good deliveries to the fence. Words are not enough to describe his achievements for India. He deserves the highest respect from the cricketing world,"
Umar Gul said, "India should be proud of having a great cricketer like Sachin, whose presence in the team over the last two decades had inspired a generation of players and contributed in nurturing young cricketers like Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina. I am sure many more like them have learnt a lot from him"
Pakistani Young batsman Umar Amin said, ""I played against India in 2010 Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, but unfortunately Sachin wasn't there. I would like to say only one thing that if cricket is religion then Sachin is god,"

Dual-SIM users come out of one of two categories - either one who are tight on budget or one who hates carrying two handsets. For the first group there are many manufacturers in the market and for the second few big brands has come forward. One such is Samsung's Galaxy S Duos smart phone.
The mobile giant aims to offer a solid smart phone experience with Galaxy S Duos. At first it seems another Galaxy S3 look alike with rounded edge and button appearances, but packed in smaller screen.
Let’s look below as a comparison which device is offering the best and which one suits your requirement:
Both runs on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) operating system but Samsung's Galaxy S Duos use the most updated one - Android 4.0.4.
The two phones come with 4GB of on-board storage that is expandable up to 32GB via microSD or microSDHC cards.
These days 5-megapixel rear camera has become industry standard for smart phones and both the phones too follows the same. The two are also equipped with auto focus, digital zoom and geo tagging. Apart from all these, Samsung Galaxy S Duos also has smile detection, ISO control, panorama and white balance preset features. Sony Xperia J do attracts customers with its digital image stabilization feature. Both the phones are also equipped with 0.3-megapixel VGA front camera.
Support for different connectivity matches equally for the two phones. Both have GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi with hotspot and microUSB v2.0. Only there is slight difference in the Bluetooth version. Sony Xperia J comes with Bluetooth v2.1 and Samsung Galaxy S Duos has Bluetooth v3.0.
Sony Xperia J is fueled by 1750 mAh and Samsung Galaxy S Duos is equipped with 1500 mAh Li-ion battery.
Both the phones are almost similar on most fronts and hence, deciding on a clear winner may not sound logical. Choice among the two relies mainly upon your requirements.
