Referring to pnr [protected] for date of jaourney 20.01.2018 for train no 12309, the booking was cancelled by irctc as the train was cancelled.

The ticket fare was rs. 3830.00 and refund amount shown for the same is rs. 3450.00.

When the train was cancelled on the part of irctc, why cancellation charges of 380/- is debited.

Please refund my entire ticket amount of rs. 3830.00 asap.

          Pnr - [protected]
          I have mailed a lot of time. (Ticket i'd: 6525709 last mailed)
          I have talked to customer care executive a lot of time.
          But they are not doing anything.
          Even they say my amount has been refunded but there is no transaction of money in my account when i told them they say to send all bank details with passbook copy, i've sended them.
          But they do nothing just making fool of me.

              Hi,

              Worst service ever. Online refund status shows sent to bank and called bank they never received refund request. Called customer care and as expected pathetic service, they ask for ticket number which is never received by email even after sending refund request with registered email id.

              Why the hell i need to follow up for refund, is it not expected that refund happens upto date without customer following for it.

              When will our goverment service improve??

              Best regards,
              Mayur

                  My tickets got cancelled as they were in waiting list at the time journey. Hence refund of my money ₹18, 000 was initiated on[protected]. But, i did not receive any amount in my bank account until now.
                  I talked to the customer care executives. They told me to raise a ticket by mailing this issue to ([protected]@irctc.co.in)
                  I did the same & i did not get any response.
                  I called them again & then i got a reply to that mail saying that my case is being forwarded to concerned department.
                  This happened on[protected].
                  Today is[protected] & i did not receive any response from their side.
                  This is how our government is. Shame on it truly!
                  Irctc resolved only 2% of the complaints until now..
                  I can imagine how they are bloodsucking all the refund amount & putting in their pockets.

                      My pnr number is [protected] and the train has cancelled so refund the whole amount in my sourcing bank account as soon as it can. Dont keep it in PAYTMAG for weeks. Transfer the refund amount within a week from the cancellation date. Transaction date is 19th Jan 2018 and My amount has still not transferred to my sourcing SBI bank account. Transfer it immediately as per rule its 6 days from the transaction date. Its the 2nd time I am complaining against this in discipline behavior of irctc. Don't make me take more actions against this.

                                This is with reference to cancellation of train.
                                I was not inform about the cancellation and also i booked tickets till the boarding station.
                                I would like to lodge a complaint of the same, for the cancellation of train without notice as i have to bear all the cancellation charges i made to get to that train.

                                No calls or e-mail were sent about the cancellation of train.
                                Is this the way, irctc tourism treats the passengers??

                                  Dear sir/madam,

                                  I had booked a ticket with indian railway on 1st jan 2018 from ndls (New delhi) to cnb (Kanpur central). I had filed a tdr on the same day as the train got late by more than 3 hours. I recently looked at the status of my tdr and it shows cr repudiate (Which means refund denied) and the reason they listed is invalid time stamp:delay.

                                  As per the rule the total amount should be refunded if the train gets late by more than 3 hours.
