Dear sir,
While booking a tatkal ticket on 11 oct 2018 from ssm to hwh transaction was successful but booking failed twice and hence booking not done but money deducted from my account. Waited in the hope that it will be credited reversed automatically but not yet done.

Please do the needful to credit reverse the amount asap.

Today I booked an IRTC ticket using the IRCTC official app.
When I booked a ticket, all the processing was completed, but in the end, my amount was withdrawn from my bank account, but my ticket was not booked.

I travelled in 12220 from Hyderabad to Mumbai on 12th with one no: [protected] in 3rd ac. Cleanliness is horrible. Rude staff. Very reluctant to speak and solve the problem. Never expected this type of hospitality especially in this train. This is second time for me . Once when I travelled from banglore to Secunderabad by Rajadhani Express.

    I booked ticket through irctc-mobile app, pnr:[protected],
    Was trying to cancel this ticket, 24hrs prior to start of journey, i was not able to perform cancellation, hence the time lapsed, finally irctc i was able to cancel ticket through by sending email.
    But as a result, i got very less refund.
    This is very unfair that mobile app was misguiding me through a wrong message.
    Please refer to screenshot, the message i was getting.
    I want my money back.

      It's highly disappointing that even while traveling in shatabdi (Luxurious train), passengers are facing issues regarding basic moral behavior and ethics by irctc appointed workmen. Shatabdi includes a facility of carrying its passengers conveniently through out their journey but there is no harmony and positive attitude of helping passengers in workmen.
      Its a request to concerned officers to have a check on appointed workmen about their dealings with passengers, especially of train no. - 12014.
      Thanks

        Pnr [protected], booked on 30-sep for 1-oct from haridwar to jaipur in tatkal 3ac. There were 3 tickets, out of which 1 got confirmed and rest 2 were under waiting. As per rule, online waiting list passengers are not allowed to travel so they didn't travel. I have asked tt about the refund of money, he told just to file tdr. He didn't say anything about certificate and given any certificate.

        I have filed tdr (Reference number - [protected]) on 1st oct evening only and got confirmation mail on 2oct 12:54am. On 19th oct, i have received mail stating that it is repudiated.

        One side you say that waiting list online ticket is not valid to travel and another side money is also not refund. Irctc can't loot money like this from common man. This is not fair at all.

        I want my money back.

          Yesterday i was doing tatkal ticket booking from dli to aje. I tried several times to get the ticket. Everytime the transaction failing at the time of payment. After trying 6-7 times,. Finally i was able to get the ticket but when i checked my bank statement, i found that 2 different amounts we're deducted. One was for the ticket and another was for paytmirctccatering. I don't know how this happened. I didn't clicked anywhere else.

          Thanks for paying rs.686.80 from a/c xxxx9865 to paytmirctcecatering via netbanking. Call [protected] if txn not done by you

              Hi irctc team

              Here i would like to bring to your kind notice that i, rc chopra, am a frequent traveler and passenger of amritsar shatabadi.

              I’m putting forth this complaint for the second time in 20 days gap regarding the absence of red/green sign on the packaging of the food items served (Sandwiches and patties for eg) in the train no. 12013, amritsar shatabadi express.

              Being a pure vegetarian, i face a lot of problems when it’s about consuming food items or not as there’s absence of red/green symbols on the food items containing egg products. There’s no surity of the food products being eggless or not. Any accidental consumption of egg products will break my religious ethics and this is a serious matter of concern for me.

              I would like to put forth a request to have an enquiry on the food products that are served in the train if they contain egg or not. Also, there must be complete disclosure of the items if they contain egg by simply having red/ green dot symbols.

                                  On 15th, october while booking a tatkal ticket, payment had failed due to technical issue. After payment, when it came back to irctc app it said displayed an error message and was promoting to pay again. So i aborted the transaction and checked if the ticket was booked or not. The transaction was mentioned in failed transaction history. With a belief that my ticket hasn't been booked, i booked another ticket under tatkal scheme. After booking, when i checked back i saw two tickets booked for the same date and journey. Somehow the transaction that had failed, got confirmed. Since it was tatkal ticket, there was no chances of any refund.

                                  The customer care number was not reachable and when once i was able to connect in the evening, the executive excused that due to technical snags he can't help me. As a result, i have to call again later but call was never connected.

                                  Due to technical snag due to fault of the service provider in this case irctc, i had to waste money.

                                  Request you to grant refund on this.

The payment was made by me by online banking and the amount debited from my account to irctc. I ad to be given a waitlisted ticket with pnr no. But it was not done by irctc. No sms was provided by irctc as was done earlier. Either a ticket hads to be issued to me or the amount has to be refunded to me online.
