Indian Railways Complaints & Reviews

Pappu ji,
reservation clerk ne aapko jabadasti ticket to diya nahi hai, aapne khud hi liya hai.

By the way, I am sure that you will never be confirmed bearth in your bodhigaya express from NEW DELHI to SASARAM. Yaad rakhiye ki kabhi bhi AC3 tier ya AC2 tier mein WL-5 ya us se upar ka number confirm nahi hoga (aur woh bhi is CHAAT ke season mein to bilkul bhi nahi).
So, dear friend forget about your confirmed bearth in your journey and try for alternative solution :))

my name is swanand IRCTC says all the biscuts chocolates and paked itmes should be sold on printed MRP rates. but the IRCTC food stall at solapur station charges more than MRP rates. this is not a good sign of business and all the railway working staff is courppted even the catering inspector Mr Kamthan asked for bribe of Rs 3,000/- per month from a Canteen owener at gulbarga station. The station supritendent of gulbarga railway station makes sure that most of the tarins are blocked on platform 2 and 3 when platform No 1 is emepty where the passenger cant get anything. when requested him to block trains on platform 1 he asked for bribe of 2000 rs. so please have a look in this matter.

Dear Sir,

I went to Kirti Nagar, New Delhi Railway Reservation Counter on dated 9.02.2008 & 10.02.2008 for ticket booking for Train No. 2555, Gorakhdham Express from Gorakhpur Jn. to New Delhi jn. for the journy date 20.02.2008 and for Train No. 2556, Gorakhdham Express from New Delhi to Gorakhpur Jn. for the journy date 14.02.2008.

Before going to reservation I have verified the availability of Seats on the Internet, I have found that 79 Seats are available. But the reservation clerk forbidden to give me the ticket and told me there is no ticket in the date of 20.02.2008 and he also told me that waitting tickets are also not available in this date. He has given me only waiting ticket from one side New Delhi to Gonda Jn. for the journy date 14.02.2008.

I think this is the most currepted behaviour by the Indian Railway's Employees and management.

You are kindly requested to search the booking clerk and do the needful action against him/her.

Hope for your neccessary action against this type of curruptions in the Railways.

Thankin you.

sir,
due to some unavoidable circmustances i could not travel on date which i have booked through e- ticket, pnr no.[protected], train no.8030/SHM LTT EXPRESS from tatanagar to durg. dated 28/02/2010 booked on 18/02/2010 from bhilai.
so you are requested kindly file a tdr and give the claims as soon as possiable.

Dear Sir,
I booked a ticket from Delhi to Dound by train number 12628 Karnataka express, travel date as 22 Dec 12, and PNR is[protected]. However it was not confirmed and stopped at WL 8,9,10,11. I got this info when I reached New Delhi station at 8:00 pm, and I checked with TT on station and he suggested taking general ticket and checking with TT on train whether any seats are available help with accommodation. When I checked with TT on train but was not traceable at the time of train departure, hence we sat in general compartment (with two female member, two kids and luggage). I noticed that, it was not at all possible to travel further in General compartment, I got hold of TT at Bhopal and got a receipt to travel in Sleeper class without confirmed ticket and I moved my family to sleeper coach and travelled sitting at various seats whichever is vacant. During getting ticket at Bhopal I asked TT/TC about the refund for this non confirmed 3AC ticket and he confirmed that, full amount will be refunded and can be done at Pune.
I checked at Dound after getting down at 9pm on 23 Dec 12, at Ticket reservation counter ticket issuing officer told me that cancellation counter is closed now, come at 10 pm tomorrow i.e. 24 Dec 12. As I am residing at Pune I checked at Pune station and Mr. Tiwari at first floor of internet ticketing counter, told that “this ticket cannot be refunded here you have to contact Delhi station for this”.
I don’t know what is the procedure to get refund for this ticket? When I checked online I found that tickets can be cancelled at any station. Ultimately I spent around INR 8500/- (5570+936+2000) to travel to Dound that too sitting in general compartment and sleeper coach. This is not at all justifiable.
Hope you understand the situation and expect that you will help me getting this refund asap.
Thanking you and expecting your speedy solution

Dear sir, I want to inform you that on 21st Oct 07, we travelled by the Janshatabdi from dadar to thivim. but the catering in this particular train on that day was really really terrible. the food was unpalatable as it was not tasting good. the veg fried rice was just boiled fat fat rice with some miniscule pieces of veg in it and it tasted bad. The waiter were wearing yellow T shirts and were very very lethargic. Infact when we came back by the madovi express on 1st nov from thivin to dadar the food was delicious. even k0nkankanya has some good caterers and good food. so please please sir kindly look into this matter and check for your self as i feel they are only cheating public but charging too much for this lunch even their seera upma was bad. not like the others. i hope you will look into this as the next time we travel we can have some good food thank you very much.

Dear Sir,

I the undresigned Vinay Sukla is working as a manager in a pvt firm as Executive Marketing & I am a regular traveller in train to various destinations on official tour. on 07/11/2007 I had been to your Banashankari Reservation office around 2.45 p.m and was waiting in the line to get my turn to book tickets. I noticed there was an argument between the counter clerk lady who was sitting in the counter No. 1 and the passenger (who was aged around 22-25 years old Boy) and the passenger seems to have used some bad word (if I am not mistaken) for whiich that lady had come out of the counter and hit him with her slippers. even when I tried to convince her along with the other passengers who had come to book their ticketsshe was not convinced and dragged that boy inside the cabin and tore his shirt and tickets too. even after this scene she refused to give him a duplicate ticket. I would like to bring to your notice that in my so many visit to the Banashankari Reservation office i found the same lady is very arragent with even senior citizens also many times i skip my turn if i happened to go to her counter. after seeing this in the reservation office i didnot book my ticket and had to go to my destination by air. after my return i tried to lodge this complaint one of my friend gave me a mobile number [protected] which happend to be a vigilence officer Mr. B.N Dattatreya he said we have to contact only Divisional Railway Manager for these kind of complaints and he is taking care of complaints only in the case of curruption and he gave me Divisional railway Manager's No. which is [protected]. I have been trying to get in touch with that number nobody is lifting the phone. I am writing this letter as a comlaint on the lady who was working on couner No 1 on that day on be-half of the entire public to take action against that lady to avoid such shameful activities in the public place in which elderly persons are respected and also to get a good disipline with public servents.

Hope to see a strong action .

Sub: complaint against your railway staff
Ref: ticket no 30754150, p n r no. [protected], train 2328

I was traveling from Lucknow to Howrah by upasana express sleeper class with my family that is myself and my wife and my daughter on 11.11.2007.
The ticket was booked on 28.9.2007.
I narrate below the horror and horrible journey detail.

1. The train reached late Lucknow by half an hour and when we reached near our seat with great difficulty coach no. S 6 berth nos. 21,22, and 24. We find it was occupied by the unreserved passengers who did not care to give the seat to us despite our confirmed tickets.
2. The train waited for 10 minutes at Lucknow and left . No TTE was visible.
3. There were about 200 approx unreserved passengers in the coach and you can understand our position that how the journey was undertaken with no seat despite having confirmed tickets. I had to travel till Varanasi in a standing position with my family. It was a 5 hours journey . It was night time . My wife was not keeping well and my daughter got a nervous break down. At the same time , we had worries that how safe is our luggage which was dumped.
4. Like me there were several other passengers who had confirmed tickets but occupied by the miscreants who did not have any tickets at all.
5. The railway failed to provide me the reserved seat booked about one and a half month back.
6. The railway failed to provide reasonable safety to me , my family, and my luggage.
7. The toilets were soiled and broken . The luggage was inside the toilets also kept by unreserved passengers and there was no toilet available which can be used by the passengers.
8. The railway failed to provide basic amenities like clean toilets , water etc.
9. there was no RPF men , no TTE throughout the journey
10. Somehow at Varanasi , we could get sitting place but no place to sleep because still our berths were occupied by the unauthorized passengers.
11. The train reached madhupur late by 1.30 hours at 12 noon [scheduled time 1030 hours ] and halted there. One hours passed , two hours passed but the train did not start. There was no announcement .
12. As stated earlier due to this trauma , my wife health deteriorated further. Still there was no TTE . It was 4 p m that is train halted for 4 hours at madhupur without any information. I took a risk and went to the main platform to ask the reason . There was no response from enquiry . The person directed to station master who was not on seat. The deputy station master stated that he can not say when the train will start , despite halt of 4 hours . He told that there is Bengal bandh problem . The train may leave even after 12 hours. When we asked why there is no announcement for this . He stated that it is not his job.
13. As my wife was not keeping well , I decided to break journey as I can not wait in the train for an indefinite period.
14. I requested to permit break journey as the condition of my wife was not well , the Dy stationmaster who directed to enquiry who again directed to Dy station master but he did not permit for break journey as it is not in the rule.
15. But halting the passengers who paid due fare without his fault is not the railway problem.
16. Then I asked to refund the difference fare at least . this also out dy station master and ticket babu refused that it is not in rule as the train is not cancelled [ even though it delays for 12 hours , the customer is at railway mercy he has to be caged in the railways]
17. The name of person to whom I talked at madhupur , Mr. Ranjan TTE of madhupur station. Station master not on seat , Dy station master did not tell his name [ may be not in the rules of railways], s k shyamal Bose ticket clerk.
18. I enclose the photocopy of ticket you will find no endorsement of any TTE
19. I enclose letter written to madhupur station master for refund who stated refund is not possible. The complain book was also not available at dy station master.
20. in view of the difficulties stated as above faced by me , I seek following remedies:
a. Rs 50,000/- as compensation for mental agony , harassment faced by me , my wife and my daughter .
b. Refund of fare Rs 1137.00 in full as railway did not provide me berth despite reservation.
21. I seek your immediate reply failing which , I may be constrained to take steps with Ombudsman / under consumer forum.

I also like to know about the steps taken against the delinquent employees who failed to perform their duties.
The complaint/ claim is sent by e mail followed by hard copy and documentary proof

Yours truly,

Dear Sir,

I am residing at Ekambarakuppam village - Nagari Mandalam - AP. which is onthe way from chennai to tirupathi, next to tiruttani station.

But last 10 yrs our People are suffereing very much because there is no platform ( which under half constraction nearly 5yrs, still it is not yet completed).
Hope the honorable ministry & honorable concern department officers will take the favourable and necessary steps immediately.

I had taken one Tatkal ticket from IRCTC on 8th July for my brother .After that I found, that train is not running for few days.Immidiately, I have called to IRCTC on 10th July, "they told to cancel the ticked and take coromandal ticket."
So, I have canceled the ticket, but they gave refund only 271 Rs (deducted 1100 Rs. because tatkal ticket)
Why, I pay that amount for canceled ticket.

Sub: Complaint Cum Notice in respect of rude and shameless behavior of your staff Senior T.C. Mrs. Shraddha Mhatre at DADAR ( Mumbai ) Station


Today My daughter who is working in a Private Company at Andheri she is having child of one year old who stays with us at Nashik.She used to Visit him every Saturday – Sunday.Today i.e. on 13/09/08 she came to Dadar station at about 3.15PM to know about departure of Dadar – Nagpur – Express.Before entering on the plat form your staff Mrs. Shradha Mhatre a senior T.C. asked for Ticket / Pass, when she showed passes No. 942E9D4 Valid till 22/09/08 From Kalyan to Nashik and another pass from Badlapur to Andheri[protected] Valid till 09/10/08 your officer illegally refused to accept those pass and demanded Rs. 250/- from my daughter. She was not having that much amount with her she requested and told frequently that she is having valid passes still my daughter was abused like third class mentality. she was crying, requesting to her as she was not at faultand she wanted to go by Dadar Nagpur train. Still your Sr. T.C. Mrs. Mhatre detained her unlawfully and mentally harassed her and gave her wild treatment. your other staff members also supported Mrs.Mhatre and tortured her illegally for which they can be prosecuted for is use and abuse of power. when she contacted me over phone I could here the conversation going on with them and crying and convincing talk of my daughter. Your staff refused to talk to me over phone and threatened her to send to custody and snatched her hand. This type of behavior is very illegal and shame full.

Latter on your staff realized the mistake asked her to pay Rs. 50/- for no-fault. when she asked for receipt your staff gave receipt for false charge of excess luggage in fact there was no luggage with my daughter.

This type of behaviour is illegal and liable to be prosecuted under criminal law. Before taking any legal action against railway and concerned staff if written apology is received from your staff within 15 days from receipt of this notice not received legal action will be initiated accordingly.

You will be held responsible for further consequences and expenses I this matter.

Have had a bitter experiance today morning at the Chennai Central Railway Station & wanted to convey the same to the authority. We (Myself & My wife Archita) were at the station today morning to see off our parents, and a bit late to accommodate them to board in Coromondal Express scheduled at 8:45 a.m. to depart. Had no time to buy platform tickets for us, infact we thought the return ticket ( from Tambaram to Beach) that we both were carrying would suffice to show the purpose. But, we were compelled to pay Rs. 720/- with no justification as the receipt says were travelling without ticket from BZA to MAS & he caught us at Chennai Central Ryl station. I refused to accept but, couldn't argue with him on this for a long as got to rush at office & though will bring this matter in amidst you.

Would you please help me with a proper justification of money paid, it feels we're being cheated.

Hello Sir,

I Sannkalp Kapoor booked 2 ticket from IRCTC on Monday, December 1, 2008 for[protected] journey from Kanpur (CNB) to New Delhi (NDLS) via PNR No: - [protected] Train no: - 4005 (LICHCHAVI EXP).

On[protected] train was late by 8 hours so i cancelled the ticket and filled TDR for that but since then i haven't received any refund in against of this. When i look in to IRCTC it says "Refund is under process" and now it's more than 120 days and no action has been taken. Whenever i send mail to [protected]@irctc.co.in ; [protected]@irctc.co.in & [protected]@irctc.co.in nobody care about responding me back and suddenly i receive a mail after a month stating that we are refilling your application for refund.

Re: Indian Railway

I venture to bring to your kind notice that i with my family members were going to Delhi From Abohar by 3008 [UATE] On[protected]. Our Coach No. Was-AS-2 and Our Bearth No. Was 1,2,3,4. Our P.N.R No. Was[protected]. The Condition Of the Coach was Worst. Earlier We Didn't Face any Problem But Later We shocked to SAW That there was Numerous Of COCKROACHES And INSECTS around us. Secondly the Bedsheets Which Were given by the Coach attendant were Wet. The coach was also in very Dirty condition, celling and woodwork of the coach was also not perfect. One of my family member was at the problem of BACKBONE. He Was totally restless because of the coach condition. The whole night we took care of him only. We Didn't sleep even. We felt mentally harassment. It was looking like a 3rd Class coach. First Time i was travel by this train and specially i booked the AC coach for my Convenience.What is the use of this. I think this is the wastage of money. It was better for us to travel by Road transportation. Will u take strict action against the liable authority or i have to do it. IN FUTURE ALSO WILL THE COMMON MAN FACE SAME MENTALLY HARASSMENT.

Whom You are talking to?

Indian railway is as deaf as its care taker (Read Lalu).

Sorry to be rude... but sometimes it hurts that with all brouhaha about India growing and Indian rail improving... the ground reality is totally opposite...

I have booked 3RD AC waiting list tickets from Banglore to Hyderabad on 10.06.07 by Kacheguda Express with PNR number[protected]. The status after chart preparation is RAC & WL1, so Mrs. Rama devi who is supposed to travel canceled her journey by seeing the status. I requested TTE many times to give endorsement for cancellation but he dint, I came to know only 25% of amount will returned on travel less ticket. Pl do the needful.

Hi,

I am an engineer working with GE-countrywide here in delhi. This is regarding my train journey from delhi to rudrapur on 29 may 2007, by the sampark kranti exp between delhi and kathgodam.

The train is a chair car, and i purchased a ticket for ordinary chair car and boarded the train, however as it was very hot i thought of checking if i could get an upgrade to a AC chair car by paying the difference in the amount subjected to the availability of seats in the AC coach.
so i went to the AC coach and spoke to the TTE, who asked me to wait for 15 mins while he is done with checking the tickets.

So i stood outside the AC coach... near the toilets... and the train by now started moving, now another person... who i guess was not a TTE, but a pantry superintending supposedly, asked me why was i standing there... So i told him the reason... he called another TTE who asked me Rs 500 for a seat... I agreed... but he said he would not give me any kind of a receipt for the same... i asked him... Why not... he said... he will allot me his own seat and cannot give a receipt of the same... I then asked him... what if the checking squad comes in.. he said.. he'll manage that.... i however wanted a receipt for the price that i paid him... to which he did not agree... And asked me to get out of the place... i said the TTE has asked me to wait and he'll find out if there is any vacancy... the person than told me there is no vacancy and he himself is a TTE...

The entire passage between the coaches was blocked with the stuff from the pantry and no space to move out... i asked the TTE to ask the pantry guy to remove the stuff and clear the way... the pantry owner and the person than said its all from the pantry and cannot be moved. They started abusing me... and said... why did i board the AC coach... and that they would impose a fine on me... the language these people used was not at all...
parliamentary... Then I asked them their names... and said i shall complaint about them... I also took some pictures of the blocked passage, through my cellphone... Then they snacked my phones and started pushing me out...The other TTE meanwhile came from the coach... and i complaint about these guys asking me money... TTE then got the passage cleared and asked me to sit in the ordinary class... which i did...

I however wanted to complain about these corrupt people... so at Rampur (one stop before RUDRAPUR where i had to get down)... I went to the actual TTE and asked him the names of the two people... The TTE asked me to forget about it and said "galti ho gaeee sir unse, ab jaane bhi do" i said i will not let it go... And shall definitely complain.. about them... i asked his name as well... He neither told me the name of the 2 people nor his name... instead threaned me... That they can get me arrested if i asked their names... i said i have not committed any crime... and i will definitely complain about them... as i was about to get down at my station (RUDRAPUR) 2 police cobtables... came to me and said... you are confined shall be handed over to RPF at the station... i said that is OK... i am not afraid... as i have done no crime... by asking their names... The RPF took me into their custody at the Rudrapur station. When i asked them my fault they said... they have been told that i was interfering in the government work.

I then asked them to call the TTE and bring them before me... and tell me how exactly was i interfering... except for asking their names... When the RPF personnel asked the TTE about it... they had no answer... all they said i was creating a disturbance... how exactly... they had no answer...

The RPF personnel... then asked them... when did i create a disturbance... they said when the train started from delhi... The RPF then asked them... If it was at delhi why did they not inform them at that point... and why did they have to wait for 5 hours before informing RPF...

Bottom line: They complaint to RPF only when i asked their names... at RAMPUR... the RPF did not find the TTE convincing and allowed me to go home... I wanted to complain about them at the rudrapur railway station, however was told that it cannot be done... They even did not have the names of the TTE... and i shall have to complaint either at delhi or at Kathgodam.

ALL THIS TIME NOBODY TOLD ME THE NAMES OF THE 3 PEOPLE INCLUDING THE TTE...

I have however taken the pictures of the blocked pantry and the 2 people... in my phone... i can send those...

As one of the pantry boy informed me... The name of the 2 people were:
Mr SHARVAN, and MR RAMNIVAS (i am not sure if the names are correct though)

I am an educated person and understand its my duty to point out the wrong and question it... It was very easy got me to pay them Rs 500 as others did and sit comfortably in the AC. i am bringing this to you so that a strict action can be taken on these people... So that... we do not have to see the wrong examples everywhere. And so that the TTE's can stop filling their pockets out of the public money!

1. Can a TTE ask for money for allotting a seat, without any receipt.
1. THE TTE's should be asked why should they not reveal their identity. if its as simple as their names... also they did not wear any nameplates .
2. Are the TTE's supposed to misbehave with a passenger and get him arrested for no reason... if they had a reason, why was i released by the RPF.
3. TTEs should be asked what exactly did i do that was termed as interfaring with the government work "sarkaari kaam me baadha" !!
4. If i interfered with the govt work... why did they not inform the RPF then and did that only when the train reached Rampur... that was when i told them that i was going to complain about them and asked their names...
5. Aren't TTE's supposed to check the tickets of the entire train...the TTEs actually never came out of the AC coach.. and when i went there to see if a seat was available... they said i was not allowed in the AC coach... how then do u talk to TTE???

IMPORTANT: WITH ALL THIS DRAMA... MY TICKET WAS NEVER CHECKED THROUGHOUT THE JOURNEY !!

Subject:- request for practical approach to stop the construction work adjacent to railway land within 30.0 meters without obtaining railway N.O.C.

Respected sir,
We beg to inform you that inspite of three letters given to you regarding the construction work adjacent to railway land within 30.0 meters without obtaining railway N.O.C from railway authority.
On 2nd October 2007 the private builders came to do the construction work on plot numbers B/12/2 to B/12/6 near the seawood’s darave railway station (EAST). The persons from SADGURU, OMKAR, SEAWOOD and TRIVENI SAGAR HSG SOC asked the builders to show the railway N.O.C but the builders replied that letters of railway authority have been filed only by the CIDCO (city and industrial development corporation) and NMMC(Navi Mumbai Municipal corporation) and nothing will be done in practical.
We are hereby request you that quick practical action should be taken by the railway authorities otherwise we shall highlighted the matter through media.

Thanking you,

N.B.:- In support of my application we are acknowledging you the very important letters given to CIDCO and NMMC of dated 20/03/2007.

Indian Railway — Malpractices and corruption

This is for your kind information that I have witnessed open malpractices by TTE staff in the train no. 3164 running from Saharsha to sealdah. On 07.06.09 I was suffering from Maheshkhunt to Sealdah Jn in that train. After boarding the train at Maheshkhunt, I observed that Sleeper class was almost vacant according to reservation chart but there were no avability of seat for reserved seat passenger. I any how managed to sit on my own reserved seat. I didn't bother that, but what I saw was surprising. TTE were collecting Rs.10 to every passenger except reserved passenger without giving them any receipt. Upto Katihar this malpractices were at its boom. Passengers were happy after giving only Rs. 10/- and TTE were enjoying it with great pompous.

In this regard I want to know the reason behind this malpractices and corruption . I felt that Indian railway is loosing a lots of revenue by this. TTE and other supervisory staff are getting much benefited but passenger are bound to sustain inconvenience.

Dear Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that while traveling with my 3 nos of family members bu 2424 Rajdhani express from new Delhi to New Coochbehar your staff Supplied only 4 nos of drinking water bottles worth Rs 15.00 / bottle in market during our journey from 2.20 PM of 30/09/09 to 2-30 PM of 1st Oct/2009 . That sir My reservation was upto Dibgrugarh instead of New coochbehar and that was under TATKAL CLASS IN AS-3 TIRE. Bearing ticket no 71239690 PNR NO:[protected].
I even tried to purchase water bottle from your staff by cash but your staff did not respond even denied to supply water bottle for which other passengers also tried to get water bottle.

I, therefore request you kindly to take necessary immediate action to avoid future harassment for the valuable customers of your department. I also request you if possible kindly to increase the ticket value including cost of sufficient drinking water bottle so as to make passengers to keep themselves in dark in respect of corruption in your department .

Thanking you,
