Hi,

I have been following up on my issue since last 3 weeks continuously but i am not getting even a single response from your side.

This is ridiculous customer service. Because of your carelessness, i am unable to book my train tickets at all using IRCTC loyalty account.

I have already shared required screenshots for the error in emails to [protected]@irctc.co.in & also contacted customer service numbers many a times but they simply keep me waiting & finally hung up.

Your carelessness is causing hell lot of inconvenience to me as i am a frequent traveler with Indian Railways & i need to book my tickets in advance on IRCTC due to Dynamic pricing.

For last 10 days website is not showing my account details, hence unable to see my booked ticket history. Can any one help me to fix this problem.in case i need to cancel the ticket, i need to go to my account which is not working. The old website was much better than the new one. I really do not understand what irctc is trying to achieve

Thanks in advance

Please refund amount sir

Actually, i tried booking a train between kharagpur and chennai central (12839 / hwh mas mail) almost seven times and seventh time my ticket got booked successfully. Before that i struggled booking six times with failed transaction issues.in that three transactions doesn't matter at all because i had not entered my otp but the other three transactions i entered otp and entered continue and i received the failed message only (Its coming session expired even though i was giving my information quickly). After the seventh time successful confirmation i got the message from the bank and checked my balance that amount was deducted twice. I was totally shocked and i didn't get any message also and don't know what to do...in that payment status of failed transaction history it is showing "pending from bank end" and "amount not received from bank" but my amount 3340inr (2 passenger) had been deducted... Please anyone help if you have solution for this... My mail id : [protected]@gmail.com, mobile no : [protected]... Thank you

I booked a ticket for south bihar express on date[protected]From rajendra nagar to jharsuguda) pnr no. [protected]
The time of departure was 20:25.
Earlier it was rac but today after the chart was made i received the message of confirmation of seat no. 22 coach a2. But there was no information regarding time of train. So as per the scheduled time i reached the station on time (8:15) but the train had left by then, at the counter i was informed that timing has been changed from 15th august and train had left on 19:45. But i was not informed about the changed time table!!
Please let me know who is responsible for this because in the ticket which i booked timing for departure is 20:20. I want to know if the amount will be refunded to me or not?

Hi, i am nikhil from nagpur, currently doing job in chengalpattu, chennai.
Today i. E; 25/08/2018 i had my train @3.45 pm from chennai central to my native nagpur. To reach chennai central station i usually take local train from paranur station as it is most economical and convenient mode of transportation for general public. The timing for the local train was 1 pm, 1.50 pm l. Since my train to nagpur departure time was @ 3.45 pm i reached the local train station paranur @ 12.45 pm, i waited till 2.05 pm at the paranur station but both the local train didn't arrived hopping it will come as the trains are regularly late. Atlast losing my patience, i took an ola cab at 2.10pm and reached the chennai central station 2 min late when my train was departing. I was unable to catch the train.
This is total injustice with customer like me who rely on your local train timing chart and there is no announcement at the station the train will be late.
What is wrong with the authority, why can't they maintain the timing as planned for the train. Trust is the factor which drive this world.
This is like playing with public sentiments, a person has his own problems and because of negligence of the authority they suffer more.
I want justification for this and also the compensation.

Kindly, do the needful. Hope you don't dishearten me and help in maintaining trust on the authority.

The total money i spend today because of your negligence is rs. 515 of train i missed, rs. 970 of cab and general ticket for nagpur rs. 285. = rs. 1770
Hope you will justify.

Thanks and regards,
Nikhil

We are not provided with the juice or the soft drink which we were supposed to get. When we got down from the train we saw the whole box of juices which we didn't get. We also didn't get the soup which we used to get before our dinner. We are spending so much money for food and we are not getting that much satisfaction we are supposed to get. We hope the higher authority will look into this matter and take prompt action.

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.

Food quality is worst in gatiman express.
Traveling in the train from gwalior to new delhi in coach c4 and the food provided in the train is stinking and rotten.. It was smelling so much and when complaint it was told that may be your food is spoilt...
For a passenger paying so much money and the food just worst in one of the fastest train of india

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.
