Rule 3 GDS Allotment List May Be Published After 4 PM Today (Latest Update)

🚨Rule 3 Important Update: As per the most recent information, the GDS Rule 3 Allotment List may be released only after 4 PM today. The delay is due to extremely high traffic on the IT 2.0 APT Portal, which is currently handling peak counter operations across multiple divisions.

Authorities have indicated that publishing the list during counter hours may risk a potential server crash as millions of operations are executed simultaneously on the APT environment.

Why the GDS Rule 3 Allotment List Is Delayed?

The official reason behind the delay is the ongoing high-traffic load on the APT Portal during working hours. Since most counter-related transactions occur between 10 AM to 4 PM, the server remains heavily overloaded.

Key reasons for the delay:

APT Portal load is at its peak during counter hours
High traffic may lead to system lag or downtime
List upload requires stable server response
To prevent portal crash, release is postponed

Expected Timing for Release: After 4 PM

As soon as counter operations slow down and the APT portal load reduces, the Rule 3 GDS Allotment List will be uploaded. The expected release window is:

After 4:00 PM (highly likely)
Anytime between 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
May vary slightly based on portal stability

Applicants are advised to stay alert and keep checking official sources after 4 PM.

The IT 2.0 APT Portal is the newly integrated platform under India Post for:

During daytime counter operations, the system handles lakhs of transactions simultaneously, leading to temporary slowdowns.
