              This is all i have to say irctc serves which is unbearable to eat as always. And i as a customer know that this will never be looked upon. Well lodging yet a comlain to seek your help sir. Food costing over 90 rs doesn't even seem bearable these days. The smell is so magnificent that you helplessely have to eat roti with the anchaar in packet. I beg as a customer please have a look in the pantry car for a quality or raise the price or serve some day better food.

But while making payment through debit card, i received otp but the transaction failed in a last stage, as a result the tickets were not booked but amount of rs. 786 was debited from my bank account.
                      The failed transaction id for the same was [protected].
                      Now it has been more than 15 days, but still my refund is not initiated.
                      I am attching the image of details of the failed transaction here.
                      So, it is my humble request to look into the matter seriously and take the needful action as early as possible.
                      Thanking you!

                        Hi.
                        Yesterday i travelled from banglore to tanjore in mysore express train no.16232.
                        I have booked the ticket in the sleeper coach. Ticket checker was not appeared for the whole journey. Some of the unreserved passengers got into our coach.
                        We enquired for the ttr. But we couldn't found him. At salem more unreserved passengers got into our coach. And everyone in our coach felt unsecured and lost our sleep. And this is my 4 th travel in past 2 months. But i couldn't found the ttr in all my journey.
                        Who is responsible for the absence of ttr. Someone needs to take severe actions against this irresponsible ticket checkers.

                              I travelled from bhimavaram to secunderabad via narasapur express on 14/8/17. There were lots f bed bugs in the bedsheets given by irctc. I asked for another set, but bugs were there in the new ones too. Myself andy daughter had lot of rashes on body and we dint sleep whole night as the bugs had spread all over the berth. Worst journey I had experienced. I severely regret the railway service.

                                Referring to your partly compliance on dated 27/07/2017 (Enclosed), mr. Patel. The refund amount rs. 2010/- has not yet been credited in my sbi a/c. How much time, you will take for confirmation of the closed hdfc a/c. It seems very delay by your good office that should not be expected. I am again requesting you and submitting herewith details (Hdfc closed account paper issued by the bank and sbi cancelled cheque) in attachment folder so that the refund can be credited as soon as possible.

Please look into the concern.

                                    Thank You.

                                      Sir, i have booked two ac iii tickets online on 13/08/2017 from jabalpur to mumbai (Cstm) by
                                      Mumbai garibrath no. 12187 for 11th dec. 2017. Sir at the time of booking the status of available births were 646 births. I opted for two lower births but after payment upper births were allotted to me (61 years) and my wife (56 years) which is very inconvenient for me being a senior citizen & diabetic. Sir when nearly all births are available...
