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

Dear Sir,

I was make ticket by IRCTC website on 1/6/18 for journey date 17/6/18 from Kanpur to Jaipur with my Wife and 1 yr old Son but unfortunately my travel plan cancel due to some reason and tried to cancel my booked ticket before allotted confirm seat but always shown one pop-up "This PNR not book through www.irctc.co.in so cancellation/TDR filling not allowed.

i was call to customer care for cancellation but they denied and send a text mail by (vipin.[protected]@gmail.com) to irctc but they also replied please send mail through registered mail id([protected]@gmail.com) but that particular mail id i am not take in use last 4-5 years but that cris_dubey id is currently use on IRCTC website.

i was request to IRCTC to consider my problem and cancel my ticket because its my family and my ticket not for other person and i can take my Adhaar card for verification but finally they not give any response.

i have attached screenshot for your reference.

Please be advised that your new irctc.co.in site for railways ticket booking is pathetic. First of all it does not open at all. Secondly, even if it opens, it does not open properly. Thirdly, we are having difficulty in taking print out of our tickets since this option is not working at all. It seem that you have developed a very heavy site. Please be light.

Sir, I have booked my ticket on 17.06.2018 through irctc. I have not received the refund for failed transaction even after three weeks.I had used the paytm payment gateway & Bank of Baroda debit card for payment.My ransaction no. is [protected] regarding this transaction & amount of Rs.880 is debited from my bank account. Kindly advise me for appropriate remedy regarding this issue.

I can't able to see my booked history details. This improves the new website is not as user friendly. Lot of issues in new web page. Please ask the IT to make it worth and user friendly. Only useful in the new page is we can check the probability percentage of ticket confirm.

Please do the needful as soon as possible. This will create severe headache to the users.

I booked a tatkal ticket on 23 June with name Rohit (age -25) and subashu (age- 40) form rampur to pathankot cantt, Date of journery was 25 june 2018, I filled TDR file on 25 June due train late more than three hours, PNR number of ticket was [protected], My IRCTC account is sawankapil,

with Mobile number [protected] and mail ID is sawan.[protected]@gmail.com

when I will be received TDR refund amount and i am attached TDR booked ticket detail

The new irctc website is the worst site.
Why can't v login first and then book tickets or check the booking history the way it was done earlier
As per the new site we have to go through the whole drill of feeding the information of booking a ticket and then they ask you to login and only then u can check ur booking details or book a ticket
It is not at all user friendly

Dear Sir,

I have booked a Ticket PNR Number: [protected] with 14014 / SULTANPUR EXP from ANAND VIHAR TRM (ANVT) To: MORADABAD (MB) & Booking Date is 15 Jun 2018 & Journey Date is 16 Jun 2018 16:25 Hrs. We have a Patient for which we have visited at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, we are returning from Delhi to Moradabad. We have reached at Railway station on time but found train is running late but no confirmation for exact time. After almost spending 03 Hours we came to know that The train is found late by 9 Hr 20 Min so we have booked a Cab & return from Anand vihar to Moradabad. After that we have file TDR but TDR status shows CR REPUDICATE. We are one of the Loyal Customer of Railways but this time we are very dissatisfied from Railways. Here i want that Railways should refund my Booking Ticket amount because if Train is late more than 03 Hours, This is not Customer responsibility. We can wait more than 03 Hours but we have a Patient so we cannot wait till 09 Hours. This is not acceptable from Railways. So we request you to please refund my Ticket amount.

I am not able to cancel/file a ticket from USA. Even though I booked the ticket from USA itself.

From last couple of days I am not able to access the site http://www.indianrail.gov.in/ and www.irctc.co.in

It looks like that access to these sites from US and Canada have been blocked.

Due to this I am not able to cancel the ticket & when I send an email to irctc, they are simply writing absurd response that time has been over and you cant file the TDS.

I have booked tickets for me and my father on 24.05.2018 in train number 22634 / NZM TVC- SF EXP with date of journey - 22.06.2018, under third A/C (PNR [protected]- with W/L 16 & 17) as well as sleeper class (PNR [protected] with W/L 26 & 27), through IRCTC e- Ticket service, hoping that once any of these tickets is confirmed, the other ticket can be cancelled. We have been monitoring the ticket status, almost every day. Even one week
before the scheduled date the status show WL/12 & W/L 13 under PNR [protected] and RAC/54 & RAC/55 under PNR [protected], thereafter it remained unchanged. Even after reaching Delhi on 21.06.2018, we found our booking status more or less the same. So to avoid any risk of being entangled in Delhi, we have booked the return air ticket on 21.06.2018 after checking the railway status as non-confirmed tickets and hoping that the railways will automatically refund the money to me, as we were still not given a confirmed ticket. Even at 7.20 pm in the evening, on the scheduled day of departure of the train, i.e. on 22.06.2018, we have checked the status from a wayside IRCTC service counter at Delhi and the seats still remained unconfirmed. At that time, we are traveling to our hotel after visiting a nearby Hanuman temple. But on reaching our hotel room, at around 8 .20 pm, we noticed a sms from IRCTC confirming both our tickets in Third A/C as well as in Sleeper class, simultaneously, send by them at 7.39pm on 22.06.2018 . On noticing it, I have immediately tried to cancel both the tickets, but due to temporary nonavailability of internet, I could able to send my cancellation message at around 8.45pm only. Now the IRCTC has given me the message that the tickets are cancelled with no refund of money. It was a rude shock to me for the following reasons.
(1) I have booked the ticket as early as 24.05.2018, but the railways could not confirm my ticket till 04 hrs before the scheduled journey, keeping me tensed throughout these 29 days after booking the tickets and I am forced to take, air ticket just one day before my return journey, out of sheer frustration.

(2) Finally the railways has confirmed my ticket within 04 hrs before the scheduled departure of the train and though I have cancelled the tickets, immediately, ie within one hour after getting the confirmation message, barely 20 minutes after me noticing the message and well 03 hrs, before the scheduled departure of the train, IRCTC have not refunded the amount. Kindly note that, the railways not given me even a small window time, to think about the cancellation and effect the cancellation request, still I managed to send the cancel request, immediately.

(3) I have cancelled the tickets, 03 hrs before the departure of the train and there were a lot of customers at RAC and WL, waiting for a confirmed ticket for both the tickets ( 3 rd AC and Sleeper class) and the railways have transferred my cancelled seats to them after collecting full amount from them also. It amounts to double profiteering by a public service department, which is illegal and unjust.

So, I earnestly request you to immediately refund the full ticket charges towards cancellation tickets under PNR [protected]and PNR [protected], at the earliest.

I have made several complaints on the same but still haven't received refunds

Book ticket on 27.06.2018 from Vapi to Ahmedabad in Karnavati Express - Train - 12933.

It was waiting status on 27.06.2018 (WL - 24/25/26), Please see attached : Ticket Reservation.jpg)

On the day of Travelling - 01.07.2018, IRCTC web site is showing confirmed seat before chart preparation in Coach D5 - Seat 1/2/3.

Due to some reason, Only 2 passengers start travelling with 3 confirmed seat. (Mr.Tejas and Ms.Shweta)

We found other passengers from Mumbai were travelling on same seats and they also had confirmed reservation in same coach and same seats.

We were waiting Ticket checker to come and resolve it.

From Vapi to Valsad to Surat- Bharuch - We traveled in standing condition.

Again from Bharuch - New passengers entered and claiming same seat in same coach.

There was a dispute with other passengers and searched Ticket checker who was 4 coaches far from our coach. Other passengers complaint for us that we have set on their seat on some online help on phone..

Me and other passenger contacted Ticket checker and they said (At least 3-4 TC were sitting adjoining seats in Pantry car.) They said that Mr.Tejas and Ms.Shweta name is not in their reservation chart but We had a proof that Ticket is confirmed in IRCTC web site ( Attachment : Ticket Confirmation.jpg)

Ticket cheker said that other person has complaint for you and your names are not in our reservation chart so you are considered as a without ticket passengers (Khuda Baksha Passenger) and you have to pay penalty 250 + ticket charges (120 INR)

Total 760 (Attachment : Penalty.pdf)

Why we should pay penalty where my ticket was confirmed and considered as without ticket passenger?

During journey when we were checking online status of PNR number then was showing "Undefined PNR" or "PNR is flushed"

After paying penalty, Ticket checker informed that I have been transferred to another train on next day morning (02.07.2018) called Train Number 22953.
This massage or information not got on our mobile

One side, it is showing confirmed seat on same day before start travelling and during journey - Ticket checker saying my ticket was transferred in other train.

This is complete system failure of IRCTC and total mismanagement of employees without knowing any reality and giving penalty to passengers.

Next day, Same PNR number was showing our status in other train and we cancelled this.

I had forgot my transaction password of e-wallet, so i was trying to reset my transaction password. To reset transaction password, users need to give two input, first one is email id and other is Login password (length should be max 10 digit). i was unable to reset my transaction password because length of my login password was more than 10 digit.
Before reset my transaction password, i had reset my login password with max 10 digit, after that i was able to reset my transaction password.
