[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Tatkal ticket cancellation

personal` — Tatkal Ticket charges

When a senior citizen buys a tatkal ticket, why shoud he be denied the usual concession of 30% ?

Also why does a passenger have to pay the fare for the total distance of the train's starting and terminating stations, while his ticket is from the starting station to a station short of the terminating station??

Indian Railways — Cancellation of tickets

I had booked my tickets for avadh express for. Date of journey was 23rd jan, 2009. Two tickets were booked from Mumbai (Bandra) to Gonda. Due to personal reason at the last moment I had to cancel my journey. I did not have time cancel my tickets. I went to mulund station (Mumbai) to cancel my tickets on next day. I was told that it would take atleast 5 days to update our names in cancellation screen. So I went after 10 days to mulund for cancellation. Where i was told that my name was still not updated so I should go churchgate (Mumbai) to fill TDR. I went to church gate but I was told that tdr can be filled from orgin station so that should go to Bandra. I went to Bandra where I was told that I should go to churchgat since TDR filling happens from the that station only. I met the station master who refuse to fil TDR for me. He did not guide further for cancellation. One of his colleagues also misbehaved with me. Now I don’t know here I should go and file my TDR. On request I can produce original ticket and reason to cancel my journey at the last moment.

Indian Railways — Tatkal E- Tickets

I had an unique experience during online reservation for an incomplete transaction, too notice that I was billed for two e-tickets for the single person from the same credit card. "Service unavailable" page came during the booking process.
Gods save all these people who are involved with Indian Railways!

I have faced such problem many times before. This happens because our internet connection is intermittent and will lose the network with the bank while transacting. But Indian railways has promptly returned the money back to my bank account automatically within 2 days. Check with your bank else call the customer care number.

realy it was very disapointing i have my tatkal e-ticket..bt still ticket checke fined me jst because i lost my id proof..n charge me same amount again with 250 extra..n without giving my previous amount.. it was realy a bad expenice.. hope railway will take some action in favour of me

Totaly agree with your view. Why should railways charge 75% of fare+tatkal charges, what r they loosing incase of cancellation?.. sense should prevail and they should apply same cancellation charges as applicable to non-tatkal ticket while holding tatkal charges.

Yes, 100% Correct why 75% of fare, Gov. is not loosing anything out of that.

Indian Railways — Delay in Cancellation Causing extra cancellation charges

I had a railway ticket booked from habibganj Station on 11/07/2009, with the details as follows:
PNR NO. :[protected]
Train No.: 3201
Train name: RJPB CLA Express
Boarding Station: Itarsi Junction (ET)
Reservation upto: Thane (TNA)
No. of passengers: 03
Scheduled departure: 20:45 on 20/07/2009 from Itarsi Junction
[protected][protected][protected][protected][protected]--------
Booking Status (Coach No, Berth No., Quota)

Passenger 1(Yadao Rao Barde-57-M) A1, 37, GN
Passenger 2(Priyanka Barde-18-F) A1, 38, GN
Passenger 3(Neelesh Barde-21-M) A1, 40, GN
[protected][protected][protected][protected][protected]--------

However due to certain circumstances, I realized on 19/07/2009 that we can't make the journey. So I went to the station for the cancellation, but because it was Sunday, the counters remain open only till 1400hrs.
My situation here is that even if I wish to Cancel my ticket well before the 24hrs deadline for flat rate deductions (Clause- A confirmed ticket is cancelled more than 24 hrs before the scheduled departure of the train, flat cancellation charges shall be deducted @ Rs.70/- for AC First Class/Executive Class, Rs.60/- for AC 2 Tier/AC 3Tier/First Class/AC Chair car, Rs.40/- for Sleeper Class and Rs.20/- for Second Class. Cancellation charges are per passenger.) which is Rs 60/-per passenger in this case, I have no option left but to wait till next day morning and fall in time duration i.e. within 24 hrs and upto 4 hours before the scheduled departure of the train (Clause- A confirmed ticket is cancelled within 24 hrs and upto 4 hours before the scheduled departure of the train, cancellation charges shall be 25% of the fare subject to the minimum flat rate mentioned in the above clause).

My point here is that even if there is ample time (1400hrs to 2045hrs) on 19/07/2009, i can't cancel my ticket due to office timings and thus have to pay higher cancellation charges.

So I kindly request you to consider an action for certain situation and if possible provide me the difference amount as soon as possible.

it would be really nice if normal cancellation policy and charges are applied to tatkal ticket cancellation, minus tatkal charges...nobody would unnecessarily buy ticket at premium and then cancell it, contigencies make people to change plans ..hence this should be considered

Railway — Tatkal Fare

Respected sir,

I want to bring in your kind attention that i have booked a ticket from H Nizamuddin(NZM) to Chitrakot (Cktd) for August 13, 2009 for RS 434 (150 Tatkal Fare Included). According to railway rules the Tatkal Fare for Non peak season (from August 1 to August 31) is 75. I need justice.
PNR no Is[protected].

I too agree with you. Charging 75% is too much..

I have cancelled ' I TICKET NO.69590098 on 18.09.09 18.33 from borivali. PNR no. was[protected] .
I have received Cancelled Ticket no. is[protected]. Refund amount Rs. 5185/- supposed to credited to my credit card. Today I have been confirmed with Credit card Dept. & reply was still there is no credit such a amount in my account.

Pl see the matter

i purchased e ticket for trip to chennai by madras mail DOJ 5.10.09. waaait list ststus 33 . i need cancellation. pnr no [protected]. transaction no [protected] . pl hel and creditmy SBaccont

Absolutely agree with you. It does not make sense to deduct 75% . It is really to much. Normal cancellation charges should be applied to tatkal tickets.

WE BOOK A TATKAL TICKET FOR 2 PASSENGER TRAVELLING TOGETHER ON THE SAME TICKET, WITH ONE PASSANGER AS CONFIRMED AND THE SECOND ONE HAVING WAIT LIST .
NOW AS PER THE RULE YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO TRAVEL ON WL TICKETS AND IF WE GO TO CANCEL BOTH THE ABOVE TICKETS TOGETHER 75% OF CONFIRMED TICKET IS CANCELLED, EVEN WHEN THE SECOND PASSENGER TICKET WAS WAIT LIST.
AS THE FIRST PASSENGER IS CONNECTED TO THE SECOND ONE ON THE SAME TICKET, GERERAL RULE OF CANCELLATION SHOULD BE APPLIED AND NOMINAL CHARGES SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEDUCTED FROM THE SAME .

respective sir,
i want cancellation of of ticket PNR No[protected] from Delhi to Ajamgarh due to some problem.
