Address: Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, 180001

I processed ticket on 14/08/17, due to some reason transaction failed and payment deducted from my debit card and still not showing any status for refund, showing as payment failed but actually payment is debited, first day it was showing as payment requested but other day it was showing as payment failed, now from whom to recover money???

Failed transaction id mentioned below:-

1) [protected] - showing status as payment refunded and transferred to paytmag but i have done payment through debit card, refund amount of 692 not credited

2) [protected], [protected], from these other two transactions payment amount of 694 again debited from one of these two transactions, showing status as payment failed but actually payment is debited.

Kindly guide me how to recover my money from irctc

        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.

                Dear sir/ma'am,
                This ia to inform you that i (Irctc user id - dav30) was booking two tatkal tickets on 29/07/2017 from zahirabad to parli vaijnath in train no. 17206. 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!
                Regards,
                Anirudha devshatwar.

                  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.

                              I was travelling from Ganj Basoda to Pune on 12th Aug 2017 by 11077 JHELUM EXPRESS in AC Coach B5, but I experienced a horrible situation my luggage got ruined by rats and inside there were valuables which got also got damaged by rats, and this is only due to bad house keeping of IRCTC, can you imagine what will be the situation of food in pantry.. 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...

                                  सविनय निवेदन यह है कि विगत कुछ वर्षों से मुझे बहुत ही कम पेन्शन मिल रहा है ।
                                  पूर्ण विवरण निम्नांकित है ।

                                  स्थाo/ सं एवं दूसं / आर टी आई / ए के एस / एस एस ई / टेली /14. दानापुर. 29/9/2015 के अनुसार
                                  मेरा अन्तिम वेतन July 2007 में 16780 + 4600 + 9%(16780 + 4600) = Rs 23310. 00

                                  इस तरह मेरा बेसिक पेन्शन Rs 11660 होगा ।
                                  कम्युटेसन कि रकम निकाल देने के बाद का पेन्शन =
                                  [protected] = Rs[protected]
                                  Aug 07 में DA के साथ कुल पेन्शन Rs 10097.

                                  Dec 2015 में 9050 + 119%11660 = Rs 22922•

                                  January 2016 (6th PC) में मेरा बेसिक पेन्शन होगा: -
                                  2.57 × 11660 = Rs 29966.00
                                  कम्युटेसन कि रकम निकाल देने के बाद
                                  January 2016 का पेन्शन होगा:[protected] = Rs 27353.00

                                  इसी तरह June 2017 में मेरा कुल पेन्शन होगा
                                  27353 + 4%(29966) = Rs 28552.लगभग ।
                                  लेकिन June 2017 में मुझे कुल पेन्शन मिला: -- Rs 25813.00.
                                  A loss of Rs 2738.00
                                  श्रीमान एैसा क्यूं हो रहा है ?
                                  इस विसंगती को सही करने हेतु कितना समय लगेगा श्रीमान,
                                  who will rectify it sir?

                                  रिटायर होने के दस वर्ष बाद आज तक सही पेन्शन पाने के लिए लगातार संधर्ष कर रहा हूँ।
                                  कई बार पेन्शन अदालत भी गया। कौन सी मजबूरी है प्रशासन को, मेरे कई बार अनुरोध करने के बाद भी आज तक मेरे पेन्शन निर्धारण का डिटेल मुझे नहीं दिया गया,
                                  और मेरा बेसिक पेन्शन गलत निर्धारण करके मुझे परेशान किया जा रहा है।
                                  श्रीमान यह कब तक रहेगा। क्या मै अपने जीवन काल में सही पेन्शन पाने का हकदार नहीं?

                                  I asked my pension paying bank, why it is so ?

                                  They replied that railway has not send your current data to bank.

                                  (more than 2 years) Sr DPO/ECR/DNR is waiting for what ???

                                  अत: श्रीमान से सविनय निवेदन है कि उपरोक्त संदर्भ में विसंगतियों को सही करने हेतु उचित आदेश
                                  पारित करने की कृपा करें ताकि मैं अपने जीवित रहते हुए सही पेन्शन एवं बकाया भुगतान पा सकूं ।
