It is for your kind information that, i was tried to book railway ticket on 19/01/2018 from kollam to madurai by 56701 (Madurai passenger train) for four peoples. And when i booked my 600rs was deducted from my account but booking was not done due to some technical problem or something like that and they send me a message, in that they mentioned that your ticket booking was not done and the amount deducted from your account will be refunded. Till now the amount was not refunded to my account i don't know why you people are this much useless and i kindly request you to do the needful

    I have cancelled two tickets on 8th jan 2018 and both the tickets show the refund status as sent to bank. The bank has not received it nor the refund amount was credited into the account.

    The cancellation id / refund id ‘s are [protected] and [protected].

    The number given for irctc customer care either says “the number you have dialled does not exist” or says to wait but never gets connected to customer care

    Request your help pls

      Hi,
      Since Yesterday Morning, i am trying to book a ticket on IRCTC portal and the payment through IRCTC-eWallet. But every time after all procedures, the payment couldn't be completed due to OTP failure. I didn't receive the OTP at all from IRCTC for the transaction to complete.

      I think these people are just CHEATERS. they only know how to cheat people. Either they don't want people to book tickets or they want to earn interest money out of the deposited money in e-Wallet.

      Whatever that may be, I am trying out on this website to book a ticket. Would you please elaborate why the OTPs aren't being delivered to the Customer??? I tried from other Mobiles and Networks, and all the messages sent to my Mobile delivered, but the OTP from IRCTC e-Wallet, I didn't receive.

      Please let me know, How can I withdraw my money from the IRCTC e-Wallet, so that with that money I can book ticket directly from my BANK.

      And, One suggestion for IRCTC please... Please make a provision to send the OTP to the mail ID too. so that if any reason fails to deliver the OTP to Mobile, it can alternately be accessed on the mail ID.

          Dear sir/madam,
          None of the catering boys of srinathji caterers have reproduce the irctc rate card for food items on gao express, 12780 (21/01/2018) during travel from pune to sangli. Especially, mr prabhat bhaduariya reacted very rudely on asking the same. (Softcopy of id proof is attached)
          The caterers are selling the food items at higher cost including low quality food items. It also includes duplicate quality brands of biscuits, water etc & no explanation is provided in detail about same enquiry of same.

          I request you to look into the matter & take very stringent action at the earliest.
          A true citizen...

                                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

                                      Hi,
                                      I have booked tatkal tickets on irctc website on 11th january using sbi net banking and via mobikwik payment gateway. But i canceled the ticket and irctc has refunded my money back on 12th jan 2018 but i haven't received it yet.
                                      In irctc account the status shows that the payment has been refunded to zaakpay pg.

                                        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.

                                        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.
