    Sir, yesterday 23-08-18 i travelled from vizianagaram to tirupati on puri-tirupati express no. 17479 with pnr no.[protected] under lower berth/sc quota.
    After getting up in the morning i find to my dismay there was no pantry car
    Service in the train. Just to have a cup of coffee/tea i got down at each and
    Every station (Except vijayawada) in all the irctc stalls they were telling that
    Either the machine is out of order or just finished in order to escape. The thing
    Is that the price fixed is just rs. 7/- which is less profitable to them and time taking to provide the service, so they stopped this service.in this connection, i request irctc to verify the veracity
    In my complaint and to provide the service by increasing the price to rs.10/-
    And increase the quality to compensate the increase in price.

          I got reserved (To my wife) a e-ticket to 17229 sabari express from guntur to secunderabad on[protected] for rs.190/-. My pnr number is [protected]. But, the train was cancelled by railway authorities due to floods in kerala. They have also cancelled my ticket and gave me refund of rs.70/- (Less amount) by deducting cancellation charges of rs.120/-, which is against railway cancellation terms & conditions. As per the railway policy the full amount has to be refunded to the passenger, if the train is cancelled. Where i got 120 rs. Less refund (Deducted as cancellation charges) into my bank account. Hence, i request you to direct the railway authorities to give credit of balance amount of rs.120/- to my bank account immediately. I have sent a e-mail to [protected]@irctc.co.in and [protected]@irctc.co.in requesting the same.

                      I never receive seat as per my preference. Then what is the point of asking preference. Even if the 200 seats are available then also i will not get my preferable seat. I don't understand then why the hell you provide the option of seat preference. How much trouble it is when we are booking for old age people. How about making some changes or simply removing this option from your app. Because it is really annoying.

                          I am in the process of trying to verify a new irctc account so that i can buy tickets on cleartrip.

                          I have been complaining for 6 days now but i still haven’t received the mobile phone otp. The email verification is done but i still need to verify the mobile number so that i can get into the account and start buying tickets.

                          My username is beckiepalfreyman1992.
                          I have paid the fee in order to receive the otp to my uk mobile but despite numerous attempts, it still hasn’t arrived.

                                Steps to recreate:-

                                1 Go to IRCTC page https://www.irctc.co.in
                                2 Enter
                                From= Pune
                                To = Bhopal
                                Date = 3 days after todays date(example on 20/8/2018 i will select 23/8/2018)
                                3 Click on find trains.
                                4 On top right select Quota- Tatkal.

                                Current Behaviour:
                                1 Page Keeps on loading.
                                2 Reloading only can break the nonstop loading.

                                Expected behaviour:

                                    I had booked the following tickets for my parents - both senior citizens.
                                    Their onward train from cbe to mas on 17-aug was "cancelled due to unavoidable circumstances" as per sms received from indian railways.
                                    Hence they could not travel from cbe to mas, as there was no ticket available in alternative trains as well for 17-aug.
                                    Since they could not travel onward, they could not travel on the return ticket on 18-aug as well.
                                    However, since the return ticket was booked under tatkal scheme, system does not allow me to file tdr to get refund.

                                    Both my parents are senior citizens and there was no ticket availability in alternative trains on 17-aug, due to this they could not take the return journey.
                                    Considering this situation, i request you to kindly allow full refund of the return ticket (Pnr no. [protected]).

                                        *Train 19166* is delayed from DARBHANGA JN. No action has been taken. Train was moving very slow and halted at all stations for Hrs and Hrs. No AC, FANS, No food, No water in Coach, No Toilets cleaning. Irresponsibility can be seen. Journey was pathetic. Is there any one on this to respond ? Passenger is Diabetic and suffering with low sugar as no PANTRY and Train was 16 Hrs delayed. Lodged so many complaints on FB page, Toll Free numbers and SMS. No response at all. How the passengers can be left like that in a Train which is running abnormally late ? In no station we were attended. Toilets and Coach condition was pathetic.
                                        We don't have pantry car in such a long distance train ... That too with 16 Hrs delay. We are not slaves or criminals to get punished in this closed coaches with no Ventilation and un cleaned environment. Attend immediately.
