Hi team,

Please be informed that i cancelled my ticket with pnr: [protected] and [protected] on 4/5/18 however till now i haven't received any refund amount.
I booked the tickets through debit card, but as per their mail they said they would refund in paytm wallet.
It's been more than 12 days there is no response to my mail at [protected]@irctc and whenever i call they always give the # answer due to technical issue they cannot check the details.
My question are:

Why my refund is not credited?
Why they are saying they would return in paytm wallet when i booked through debit card?
Why they are not replying to my mail??
Why this much of technical issue occurs in the irctc, specially when u call?
Why after getting connected to customer care they are disconnecting the call??

Please help me.

Prashant

      I am traveling from guwahati to new jalpaiguri by rajdhani express, train no. 12423 by pnr no.[protected] on 17.05.2018.
      As per my knowledge we are paying for the services charges also while taking the ticket for rajdhani express.
      But i feel ashamed when i experienced that theservice boys are seeking bakshish (Asking money) from every passengers for their services.
      I think they were paid by the contractors of railway catering services.
      Please take action against them, it is a very shameful issue.
      Why should we pay extra.

        Sir

        This is to complaint about train no. 12245- howrah-yesvantpur duronto express-
        1. The coach number b4 is in a horrible condition, with nails sticking out from the berth, making it impossible to lie down.
        2. Water continuously drips from the ac, due to which four passengers fell down, out of which 3 were senior citizens.
        3. On asking the cleaner to call for the mechanic, he said such problems will not be solved on journey.
        4. It was also mentioned that complaints in complain book is never accepted, and the page is torn off once the passenger writes in the same.
        5. I would also bring to your notice that the attendant was not available during the whole process, and later had come to say no one told me about it.

        Such a horrible travel experience was never expected. I would be grateful if you do the needful for the above problems.

        Regards

                      I have booked railway ticket for the journey form chalakudi to calicut on 13 th april 2018 with pnr number [protected] for train number16307 through irctc web site for 2 person (160 rupees)
                      Ticket was under waiting list and never confirmed.
                      So after chart preparation the ticket was automatically canceler by railway.
                      They only reimburse 40 rupees instead of 160 rupees and i forced to take new ticket for the passenger.
                      Railway is looting the people on waiting list ticket.
                      Please take necessary steps to stop this.

                        Dear Sir,

                        I have requested the TDR for the PNR No.: [protected]. And I received the mail regarding rejection of TDR as the passenger has travelled as per the chart which is completely wrong. I haven't boarded the train. Either the ticket collector has not checked properly or is not doing the duty properly in trains getting late.

                        I request you to kindly reopen the TDR and also put an inquiry into it.

                        On the same day same time I took another train with PNR No.: [protected]. How the same person can travel in two trains at the same time. I am attaching the ticket snapshot.

                          I have requested the tdr for the pnr no.: [protected]. And i received the mail today regarding rejection of tdr as the passenger has travelled as per the chart which is completely wrong. I haven't boarded the train as it was more that 6-7 hrs late. Either the ticket collector has not checked properly or is not doing the duty properly in trains getting late.

                          I request you to kindly reopen the tdr and also put an inquiry into it.

                              I happened to travel in rajadhani express yesterday pnr:[protected], trn:12432, doj:14-05-18, 3a

                              An awful experience it was.
                              Charging 6360 for 3rd a/c ticket and giving such a bad service is condemnable
                              The food served was stale
                              The quality of everything served was pathetic
                              The blanket n sheet provided were damp
                              And most importantly the toilets were extremely dirty
                              It seems as if the toilets weren’t cleaned for months
                              There was no water in the washroom
                              My fellow passengers conveyed their dissatisfaction to the tt, as well as called up the canteen manager and wrote a negative feedback in his feedback book

                              I would request the concerned authority to look up to the matter seriously and do the needful
                              Thanking you

                              जयपुर रेलवे स्टेशन पर मैने एक रेल नीर की बोत्तल खरीदी । स्टेशन ठेला केंटीन वाले ने ऊपर ठेले में नई बोत्तल सजा रखी और मैने मांगी तब नीचे बर्फ के कैरट से एक बोत्तल मुझे दी ।
                              जो कि बिना सील पैक थी और साथ ही पीने पर पता चला यह सादा मोरा पानी है ।
                              मेने बोत्तल बदलने को कहा तो मन कर दिया
                              Pl. do the needful action as mentioned in the subject cited above.

                                Irctc food service is very very bad
