IRCTC responds after complex maths CAPTCHA goes viral on social media

A complex mathematical CAPTCHA image used on the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website has drawn social media attention. Users complained about the difficulty of the verification system during train ticket bookings.

The IRCTC responded to the criticism, addressing concerns about the CAPTCHA's complexity. The incident highlighted user frustration with the ticketing platform's security measures, which are intended to prevent automated bookings but have been perceived as overly challenging by legitimate passengers.

The railway ticketing portal's CAPTCHA system remains under public scrutiny as discussions continue about balancing security with user accessibility.
