    Grievance Description:
    Dear sir
    I booked the ticket from Madurai Jn to Chennai by Nellai Exp, boarding at Madurai Jn for the journey on 21.01.2017 under PNR Number [protected]. The train was TOTALLY diverted via Nagarkoil and Kerala due to JALLIKATTU STIR, the message of which received in the evening, on the date of journey. I contacted 139 for the further course of action. They asked me to file TDR and told that FULL TICKET AMOUNT will be refunded. I filed TDR immediately .

    On 28 Jan, mail is received AS FOLLOWS. -- The TDR filed against PNR Number [protected] with reason Train Diverted And Train Not Touching Boarding Station. has been repudiated by the Chief Commercial Manager/Refunds null due to reason null as per the Indian Railways Refund Rules https://www.services.irctc.co.in/betaDoc/Amendments_RefundRules_2406.pdf Please note that the decision about the repudiation/ rejection or amount of refund has been taken by the concerned Zonal Railways as per extant Refund rules of Indian Railways and not by IRCTC. TDR filing time :Sat Jan 21 19:08:48 IST 2017 Date of Boarding : :Sat Jan 21, 22:10:00 IST 2017 (Train actual departure time as recorded in the system) which is after/before 0 Day -3 hrs and -1 minutes. The status is also available online and found under TDR History. For any assistance please contact our customer care call centre or mail to [protected]@irctc.co.in . This is an Auto generated mail. Please do not reply.---

    - I would like you to clarify the following: 1. The train itself is not touching the boarding( also intermediate ) station and the message is given few hours before the departure, how can one board the train as scheduled. 2. Your customer care center informed that full refund will be made as the train is fully diverted from Tirunelveli and not touching Madurai Jn 3 Your action is totally unjustifiable and you have not given thoughts practically. I should not be penalised for the incidents occurred beyond my control. Hence I request you to make refund of the FULL TICKET AMOUNT Thanking you RADHA GOPALAKRISHNAN

    Current Status:CASE CLOSEDYour Feedback:
    Excellent
    Date of Action:16 Feb 2017Details:Your claim has been considered for refund of Rs.1780/- and the amount will be remitted through IRCTC shortly. UNQUOTE.

    The case was disposed off on 16 FEB 2017 but the amount was not credited / refunded to me even after three weeks. I request you to verify your records and credit the amount of Rs.1780 immediately . Hope you will not give me another chance to remind you again in this matter.

    TDR filed due to diversion of train during jallikattu stir. Southern Railways instructed IRCTC to make full refund amount of RS . 1780, on 16 Feb 2017. But the company did not refund the amount even after one month. Customer care contact number is not working. E-mails sent to them, are not responded. Kindly help in this matter.

              Hello sir/madam,

              This is to inform that today morning @11am I tried booking tatkal ticket but it was unpleasant experience. The server was showing message " You are permitted to book only 2 tatkal tickets between 10am and 12pm per IP user" continuously during tatkal booking period; Even though I didn't made any bookings beforehand.

              I would like to request you to please fix this issue as soon as possible.

                No resolution has been provided till date. I had first complaint on 26th nov and again second complaint on 18th mar, but still no resolution. Today i received a call from number [protected] stating they are calling from irctc.. They said they would refund me 1120 for my two tickets and he asked me to give my kotak bnak acc no nad crn no. I was not comfortable to share my account details over a call to some unknown person so he said speak to office and dissconnected the call. Is this the way the people from irctc talk to client..

                I need my refund of the amount before my journey or it would be very promising for each one.

                            I was waiting for the train but the train got late so much so i have filled the tdr. Please help me on this becuase nearly one year is passed but i had not received the refund. As per rule total amount of ticket should be refunded if the train gets late more than 3 hours.

                              Good day, i have booked train tickets on irctc mobile app on 22.02.2017 & 11.03.2017. On both these occasions my tickets haven't been booked but my bank account has been debited for the ticket charges.in this case, i contacted irctc customer care on the very same day, and heard it will be returned to your bank account in 4-5 days. But still i haven't received both the refunds and even i confirmed with my bank and they also confirmed there is no reversal from irctc to your account.in this case i made a repetive calls to customer care but no one bothers to pick the call. Even i tried via e-mail but no response and even through twitter also no solution to the issue.

                                    I am regular user of IRCTC to book my ticket and we used to get the option to opt for insurance as 'Yes' or 'No' but nowadays there is only 'Yes' option available which means we are forcefully sold the insurance against our will.

                                    It says 0 Rs per person however 0.92 paise is charged. Attaced is the image.

                                    Kindly immeditaly advise and action against this.

                                      IRCTC has neither given refund nor any compensation till today.
                                      I booked tickets on March 10, the transaction got successful but tickets were not booked.

                                      I got no mail or message from IRCTC regarding the same.

                                        Address: Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, 721645

                                        I also deposit rs. 900 my IRCTC account on 26.02.2017. When I want to transfer money for ticket booking thru IRCTC ewallet, then show me the balance is 0.00

                                        Then I'm mail IRCTC customer care. they give me a ticket no. 5245460

                                        They are said that your debited amount deposit your account 7 working days. But, no amount credit my account. So, when i call next time IRCTC help line number they give me a account statement.

                                        I attach a account statement, please solve the issue.
