Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Complaints & Reviews

IRCTC has blocked my account on accounts of "too fast booking" and "multiple bookings with typing too fast for human".

I am a normal user but since I am a computer engineer I am good with keyboard. I had my card numbers memorized, one day I booked three tickets for my hometown from my city of work for the next 3 weeks, because I had to be home all three weekends for someone's marriage preparations in my family. THe account got suspended next time when I tried to login. No, the bookings were not cancelled.

IRCTC thought I was a 'fradulent user' doing too many bookings too quickly.
I just booked 3 simple tickets only very quick back to back.

No, I did not misuse any service.
No, I did not find any hack or workaround.
No, I did not use multiple browser or logins.
Yes, I wrote email to [protected]@irctc.co.in
Yes, I tweeted my complaint on twitter where they said they would help which they did not.

I have tweeted to them as well as emailed them, and even after their website revamp, they have kept me blocked.

Now they are forcing me to do non-legitimate activities such as unnecesarily forcing me to buy a new sim with a new number, commit act o[censored]sing my relative's IRCTC account for booking, unnecessary create email accounts when I have had the same email and phone number for more than a decade now. Why should I do these stupid things when I am a loyal and genuine user of your services IRCTC?

I want quick action and justic because I have now waited for more than 2 years and my issue has not been resolved.
My IRCTC ID is nauman000 . I need both my email and phone number ***0***789 unblocked / freed to create new account if you are unable to restore my userid nauman000

It is showing below error message after 2hours also, i dont undestand what is wrong. I haven't seen ewallet like irctc, its wrose ever ewallet in the world.

Your ewallet account has been locked due to 5 consecutive wrong transaction password attempts. You may continue booking with any other payment option. To use your irctc ewallet account, please re-login after 1 hour.

Dear sir/madam,

Actually i tried to book a tatkal ticket on jan 05 2018 at 11:11 AM from Gurdaspur (Punjab) to Delhi. Last week, but the ticket was not booked showing error but my amount (Rs. 1654.41) was deducted from my bank account and it was paid to one97 communications (I knew that when i receive the sms from the bank). And i have been waiting for this four days to see whether my money will be refunded but nothing happened that's why i'm posting this complaint.
I request the concerned people to take necessary action and refund my money to the account from which it is debited. The sms i received from the bank is..

"you have initiated a txn of inr 1654.41 at one97 comm on icici bank card no.8004. Otp is 917746. Dont share with anyone. Bank never calls to verify otp"

For your reference i have attached the screenshots of irctc which shows the ticket is not booked and my bank message which shows that the amount was paid to one97 communications.

For further informations, you can contact me at [protected]@gmail.com and mobile No is [protected]

Refund id: [protected]
Amount: ₹ 785

Refund status shows refunded
But money still not refunded in my back account.

Cancelled date: 25 december 2018

Why there is no irctc portal for refund complaints???

This shame for such huge government sector..

No grievance portal and complaint redressal system for such huge organisation says lot about how much efforts are required to bring standards of railways in india.

How much time does it take to refund money in bank?? Already 15 days have gone since refund status as refunded.

Please help in solving my issue...

I booked ticket for 3 family members from ddn-ndls shatabdi express train number 12018 for 15 december 2018. On 14 december a message from irctc received on my phone regarding cancellation of the above dated train due to unavoidable circumstances. Therefore i booked a cab for my family member of 15 december 2018 as they happens to attend an important function at delhi. Under irctc rule if train get cancelled there will be auto refund of the ticket amount. But when for a week i did not received any amount i contacted irctc upon which they said that said train was not cancelled on that date but i have proof in form of message i got from irctc.
On repeated communication irctc straight away denying from giving me refund for my booked ticket as train was not cancelled. When i called customer care they cut the call in middle without giving attention to my problem.

I booked ticket but didn't received it and money has been deduced from my bank account

I tried to book a tatkal ticket on january 5 2019 from irctc app via paytm channel and entered the debit card details money got deducted from bank 2 times but on the irctc, showed pending from the bank end and no further information on irctc platform. Neither i could see any transaction history in the irctc account nor the ticket got booked.in the bank information of the payment, i could see transfer to one97communications and some reference id. From the bank, money got deducted 2 times with the description as showm above. Please help me on the above query

I booked seats on train no. 17624 more than a month ago, receiving 2 confirmed seats. On boarding today, we discover that train route is changed to go via madhya pradesh, skipping the destinations for which we hold a confirmed ticket. No notification, no email, railways prefer to surprise people, advising us to get down at an unknown station and wave parchment in front of station master to recover the sum for rest of journey. You can make the rest of the journey with the spare change. It is already presumed that people of india have worthless time to spend waiting at stations, we contribute nothing and we should be happy and grateful if public services screw us over. I do not ask for compensation, just the basic decency that railways stop behaving like spotted hyenas and give a damn about derailing the country's resources.

Please make the otp service faster or give option to transfer the money into bank account!!!

I signed up for irctc ewallet and deposited rs.3200 to book tatkal ticket fast.
But their transaction otp takes aprrox. 30 minutes, making it impossible to book a tatkal ticket on any route. I am a spontaneous traveller. I cant plan my journey prior to one month. Irctc doesn't have the option to transfer money in to bank account and we cant use the ewallet on any other platform. Eventually making it impossible to use the money!

This the problem for almost everyone who signed up for irctc ewallet.
If only the otp service is faster then the ewallet is okay, otherwise it is a big fraud!

Hi,
My account is under the username 'vishnuvidhyadharan' and email address is [protected]@gmail.com. I am able to login to the account from the cached page on mobile and i booked tickets from there. But i am unable to login to irctc website from the app or from another browser. It shows invalid user. I have tried to contact the railway over phone and mail but no avail. Please help me fix this.

Thanks
