Uranus
Uranus cuts the time you spend typing the Tatkal form: Web login, captcha assist, setup help included.
Light and direct: few settings, quick to set up, and both login routes.
Hitman is Windows software for booking IRCTC Tatkal tickets. You save the passenger list, the journey details and the payment preference once. When the Tatkal window opens the software fills the booking form instead of you typing it under a clock, and you stay in control of the payment.
Hitman signs in through the IRCTC website in a browser session, the route most desktop users already know. You add your own IRCTC user ID once and the software reuses it on every run.
Passenger names, ID numbers and berth preference sit in a saved master list, so nothing has to be typed at 10:00 am. Editing that list the night before is the single biggest time saving on offer.
Anyone booking from a Windows desktop who prefers the IRCTC website flow — one traveller group at a time, on a connection they trust.
Four stages. Only the middle one is fast, and that is the part the software takes over.
Put the passengers, the train, the class and the boarding point into the saved list. Check that the IRCTC user ID you plan to use is Aadhaar-authenticated and that its details match. Nothing on this list should be left for the morning.
Open Hitman, load the saved list and sign in with your Web login. Keep the UPI or bank app open on the phone that receives the OTP. Do not refresh IRCTC over and over — that is what gets an account throttled.
10:00 am for AC classes, 11:00 am for sleeper and other non-AC. The software submits the form it has already filled, works through the captcha, and moves to payment. Your job is to approve the payment the moment your phone asks.
If a seat was free at that instant you get a PNR. If the quota had already gone, no software would have changed that — you try again the next day, or look at another train or a different class.
Worth reading before you pay. Most listings in this market leave this part out.

Give a name and a 10-digit WhatsApp number. An order number is created straight away.
Pay from any UPI app, then submit the UTR or reference number against that order.
When the payment matches, the order is marked paid. At peak times a person checks it, so it can take a little longer.
The key and the download link go to your account page and to your WhatsApp number.
Hitman keeps your passenger list, journey details and payment preference saved, then fills the IRCTC Tatkal booking form for you the moment the window opens. It signs in with your own IRCTC account. Whether a ticket confirms still depends on the quota left at that moment.
No — and be careful with any seller who says it will. Tatkal seats are limited and released at a fixed time. Hitman removes typing time from the process; it does not add seats or move you up IRCTC's queue.
Yes. Since July 2025 IRCTC allows Tatkal and Premium Tatkal booking only from Aadhaar-authenticated accounts, and the OTP goes to the Aadhaar-linked mobile number. You can check the status inside your IRCTC account. That is IRCTC's rule, not ours, and no software gets around it.
No. It reads the captcha image IRCTC serves and types the answer into the same field you would type into. The OTP still arrives on your own phone and you still approve the payment yourself.
One day before the date of travel: 10:00 am for AC classes and 11:00 am for sleeper and other non-AC classes. IRCTC also holds authorised agent IDs back for the first 30 minutes of each window.
30 days from the day the key is issued. You can renew from your account page before it expires, and the same key is extended.
Once the payment is verified. Most orders go through quickly; at busy times a person checks the UTR by hand, so allow a little time. The key reaches both your account page and your WhatsApp number.
Usually not. A normal Windows PC on a stable connection is enough. A VPS is worth buying if your machine is slow, your connection drops, or you want the software awake and signed in without leaving your own laptop on.
Hitman signs in through the IRCTC website in a browser session — the flow most desktop users already know. You add your own IRCTC user ID once and it is reused on every run.
Yes, on 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11. Older 32-bit machines are not supported. If you are unsure what you have, send us your system details before ordering.
The form still fills, but everything after that depends on your connection reaching IRCTC. If your line is unstable at 10:00 am, a Windows VPS on a data-centre connection does more for you than a faster home plan.
Open your account page before the expiry date and start a renewal on the order. The same key is extended, so there is nothing to install again.
Tell us the route you book and how many bookings you make in a week. We will say whether this plan fits or point you at a cheaper one. No pressure either way.
