    Booked Ticket on IRCTC using debit card amount debited INR 260 but IRCTC website showing Payment Pending from Bank End, I inquired at my Bank and they confirmed that money has been debited and there is no problem at Bank End. Kindly confirm as neither I am able to book new ticket nor I am able to get the status of the booking. Please refund my amount so that I could book a new ticket. I am attaching screenshot of my transaction ID AND BANK statement that money got debited .

        When i tried to book a ticket i entered right capcha code not only one time but also several times. But unfortunately this site every time says please enter right capcha... I think some of official are trying to fool us. They want a general user enter captcha repeatedly and they benefited their own person... Because all you know the time is so important for tatkal booking..
        If you are responsible for the complaints handling then take a proper action against them and notify me...
        You know how a boy of age 23 just go first time about 1200 km away from his home alone has no money to arrange back to home by some other convenience what is feeling of him.
        If ticket is not done no problem but if you provide a medium then functioning it properly without benefited their owns.

          The irctc website and irctc connect mobile app are both
          Flooded with advertisement.
          Stop the advertisement in this first.
          You are earning crores of money from our pocket via service charges, tatkal charges, gst.

          Why are you annoying with ads.
          Why you need advertisements for such bad service, still people compromising and using irctc and also they are being looted by you.

          Stop ads in irctc.

            I was waiting for irctc refund for waiting list tickets. Later, i realised that i need to file tdr within 72 hrs. Does it mean that irctc will forfeit rs. 11, 500/- of mine? They must have a proper system in place to refund the amount of passengers not travelled. The ticket checking staff must also provide not travelled certificate on his own to layman or at least educate (Make aware) the passengers. There must be a way out to get my money back. The railway must check their records within a fair time period and refund the passengers fairly.

                  The train was delayed by mire than 3 hours. Hence we had to make alternate arrangements for travel, since we had personal commitments to honour. Hence we filed tdr immediately, well within 2 hours of scheduled departure. However we have received 'cr repudiate' for our tdr.

                    Am traveling by 11091 bhuj to pune exp. This train does not have a pantry car. On reaching baruch railway station i alighted and reached out to a vendor whose licence no is [protected]. I asked him to provide me a cup of tea. He refused he had tea and said coffee is available. I said ok provide me one cup.in the meantime other passengers arrived and asked him for groundnuts, soft drinks which are costlier than a cup of coffee or tea. He bluntly refused to give me coffee thereby denying me legitimate service. When i politely asked him how come he denying me when he said coffee is available. He spoke harshly in a insulting way that i am asking for a lower range product. Please warn him and ask him to behave in a properly manner and give respect to customers. I felt humiliated in public..

                      Seat confirmed as a2 45, 46 sl and su. But, when i go on board, a2 45 and 46 is not sl and su. It is in the main cabin. I had to take seat in main cabin.

                      For the second time, again now i have come accros the same problem. Can irctc properly allocate seats please.

                          I had opted for book only if confirmed berth is available while booking a tatkal ticket on[protected]. Even then a waitlisted ticket got booked. Upon cancellation, the refund was processed after deducting the cancellation charges. I wrote to [protected]@irctc.co.in and tweeted on its official account to take this issue forward. But IRCTC did not take any responsibility in replies given on both of the above. I have attached a snapshot of the ticket and the reply I received from [protected]@irctc.co.in
                          I should be refunded full amount without any deductions. Why should I pay for IRCTC's mistake.

                          I had received a call supposedly from IRCTC (as claimed by the caller) The call I received was from [protected]. The caller asked me to give my Credit card number on phone to process the balance refund. It felt something fishy. So I told the caller that since IRCTC has already refunded some amount post cancellation, then IRCTC needs to have the card details to refund the balance amount. The caller then told that if I don't give my card number, the amount wont be refunded. So I asked him to put a mail to me asking for the same and I will share my bank account details where he can transfer my refund. Then the caller said ok and immediately disconnected the call. I want you to get the caller verified as to whether it was a genuine caller from IRCTC. I had received the call on[protected] around 1:20 pm. Post that call I haven't received any email or calls.

                            I booked a ticket through irctc from khurda road jn (Kur) to chennai central (Mas) using syndicate netbanking. My transaction id is [protected]. The ticket is not booked, it showing pending from bank end in payment status. But already rs - 2100+10/- is deducted from my bank account.
                            So, kindly take necessary action to refund the amount in my account as soon as possible.

                                        Such a non-sense site i have ever met so far. The new website is worse than the old one. If my required condition is not met for booking ticket - like preferred seats or berth, then why it is getting redirected to transaction page and debiting amount from my bank account. This i tried for more than 6 time today and found it to be so much non-sense and at the end only my time and money has got wasted, without booking tickets. It gets logged out without saying unsuccessful message.

                                        The customer care number is even worse. Preferred language is english but people who ask pick up asks us to speak hindi. When i preferred english they hold the phone for few minutes and only disconnect after that.

                                        Such an bad experience.

                                        The site is very poor and does not function up to the expectation. It has not been checked before launching. Last night i tried to register my aadhaar card and it sent me an otp, but typing that otp showed an error message - which is a programming error. Very poor site. I felt that the older one was much easier than the new one.

                                        The mobile version of the site is even worse. Every time i click the login icon it asks for registration.
