Respected sir/madam,

I request you to kindly look into the matter as my mother and I had to travel from secunderabad to vadodara due to exigency of my grandmother's health.

I bought the tatkal ticket over the counter after waiting for 2hrs in queue in the morning and got the tatkal ticket with waiting list, hoping to get confirmed.

Next day we reached platform and to our surprise the ticket was not confirmed and I stood in queue to get it cancelled.
But till my turn came the person at the counter told I can't get refund.

It's merely day robbery under the name of rules. First of all we were not alloted seats above it tatkal waiting seat nor got cancelled automatically neither refunded.
It's matter of Rs.6015/- not Rs.50 or 100/-.

I don't understand IRCTC was not at a loss of 2 seats as it was not even a confirmed then why can't they return our hard earned money.
Instead I would have donated that money to an orphanage who are more needy than IRCTC.

I request to seriously look into the matter so that it wont happen again with others or the general public will totally not believe or trust IRCTC in future.

My train ticket details:
PNR No.:[protected]
Date: 24.05.2017
Train name: Porbander express
Travel from secunderabad to vadodara

My ticket as an attachment for reference.

Regards,
Aarti H

    Dear Sir

    I have booked PNR- [protected] on 25th May in Tatkal Quota.

    At the time of booking, status of ticket was available. During the completion of the transaction the status changed to waiting list and final number alloted was TQWL 67.
    On cancellation, Railway has deducted Rs 60/- as cancellation charge.

    How is this charge justified? Either the ticket should not have been booked in the first place or a warning should be given before the transaction take place.

    We request you to take this as a technical fault in the process which is amounting to unnecessary loss of money to constumers and un-justified income to railways (in Lacs maybe)

    Regards

                    I have been trying to book tatkal confirm ticket from Delhi to Rewa since 4 days. The network is getting jammed as soon as I click on Book at 10 am. I have tried best 4g networks with tested speeds and also different people tried from different systems, but everyday I am getting "waiting" status.
                    I doubt if the online booking is deliberately jammed for consumers so as to allow agents and all to take entire set of tickets.
                    Please look into this.
                    Travellers who can't afford agent face a lot of problem, despite being on best network.

                      I am having my irctc account username as abhay4059 which has been suspended. I was having 700rs in my irctc e-wallet which i had added just a few hours before the suspension. I also paid 50rs as registration amount at the same time. Irctc suspended my account and even has not been responding my emails and phone calls adequately for 5 months. Kindly help me in this issue and help me get retrieved my account and the money.

                      Dear Sir,
                      It is often seen that when we try booking a tatkal ticket at 1100 hrs, the IRCTC servers are in maintenance phase and when the maintenance is over we don't get any confirm ticket. Please resolve as we have a faith in the govt.

                              I have irctc account. Id: sureshdip

                              Yesterday i open ewalllet account on irctc site and account opened successfully, here is the account opened info which i received by email from irctc.

                              Dear customer,

                              Congratulations, you have successfully registered under irctc ewallet scheme.

                              Your reference no. (Bank payment id) for registration of irctc ewallet is:[protected].

                              And i also i have deposited rs.1000/- to my e-wallet account. Here is the details:

                              Dear customer,

                              Congratulations, you have successfully deposited rs 1000.0 in your irctc ewallet account. Transaction details can also be checked in "deposit history" section under ewallet module.

                              Amount rs. 1000.0
                              Deposit status successful

                              But my irctc account (Sureshdip) not showing e-wallet information which i opened. If i click on e-wallet link going to e-wallet register page, but i have already registered with rs. 50/- and deposited rs. 1000 to my account then why should i register again on e-wallet.

                              The same complaint emailed to [protected]@irctc.co.in and i received an automated response by email including ticket id [irctc #5898763].

                              Request to you please check the above e-wallet issue.

                                There is some issue with www.irctc.co.in, as tatkal ticket booking period period starts, site goes hang/ auto logout / site not opening/under maintenance etc. kindly look after into the matter and provide solution as early as possible otherwise declare clearly that online ticket booking system is available only for agents, not for common man of India.

                                        Hi,

                                        I tried booking e-ticket on 05/05/2017 from IRCTC website two times but both the time transaction was failed. But i didn't receive refunded amount in my account for both the transactions. I contacted to bank regarding this but they are saying that they have not received that amount from the IRCTC side till now. could you please confirm when can i get back my refunded amount. Although it is showing refunded in the IRCTC website. Can you please provide complete details of both the transactions and its current status.
