I would like to raise a complaint regarding a recurring issue faced during Tatkal ticket booking at 10:00 AM. On several occasions, after successfully filling in all passenger details and completing the payment, a service error appears. Although the payment is deducted, the ticket is not booked.

This happens even when the system shows ticket availability while proceeding to payment. Due to this server or system failure, I and...

Server downtime for 5 mins for users

I’ve been trying to book a Tatkal ticket for the past week, but every time the booking window opens, I get logged out repeatedly for the first 1–2 minutes. After logging back in and searching for trains, I encounter an error saying, “There seems to be an issue in connection, please try again in some time.”

By the time this issue resolves (around 5 minutes later), all available Tatkal tickets are already gone. During...

Feedback Regarding Lack of Bedrolls and Poor Service in Coach

Dear Indian Railways Team,

I would like to bring to your attention some issues I faced during my recent train journey.

1. No blanket or bedsheet was provided even though passengers expect proper bedroll service, especially on overnight journeys. This caused inconvenience and discomfort.

2. The staff placed a bundle of bedsheets right next to my seat, which not only occupied my space but also disturbed...

Overpricing

Address: india

The vendors at the railway station always charge higher than the MRP, and it has been in every railway station I have travelled. Most vendors fabricate the MRP tag so they could sell in higher rates. When asked about why they do so, they say that they have to give the commission to the contractor who has got the tender and some amount also goes to the corporation....

I booked a Tatkal ticket on 10 August 2025 for train 12401 / KOTA DDN AC Express from Delhi (Hazrat Nizamuddin) to Dehradun when 2–3 seats were shown as available. After payment, my ticket showed TQWL, though availability still showed seats. This indicates a technical glitch, forcing me to cancel the ticket. ₹175 was deducted from my refund despite the fault being on your side.

Kindly process a full refund and acknowledge this complaint.
Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
