Chennai to karaikudi pnr:[protected].
Hello sir/madam im from karaikudi im studying in srm university in chennai
Now a days irctc not turning on ac. if they turned on they switched off too early
Im here to complaint about this worst act. very very poor condition this is. i travelled on 11th march from karaikudi to chennai during that time i chose 1ac but that employees not switched on ac. i managed by swicthing on fan.
What a terrible act is this? first ac passenger fate is to swicth on the fan.
Fan is also not well. i thought that day to complaint against irctc after my return. but on my return the same thing is happened all compartment peoples are disturbed by sweat. so i went to that ac working employee and said that my ac not coming. he came to my place and asked me to "swicth on the fan"what a shame is this. very worst experience i have faced. please all people try to complaint like this. i hereby attached my ticket for your reference. please take necessary steps to save passengers

I was having ticket but I came little late to show the ticket but he refused and took 150rs bribe. What the hell is wrong with the system. Strong action must be taken again NARKATIAGANJ railway ticket collector staffs.

Gaurav Raj, clerk is the staff who misbehaved, he is government servant, he is employed to help public not to misbehave with public.

I have given 500 rs for a open ticket from mayiladuthurai junction to tambaram. .the lady at the counter didnt give ticket immediately and taken 5 mins and giving tickets to other passengers..after 5 mins she gave change of 400 and still she didnt give ticket, when i asked for ticket she said that i have already collected it. .i have argued for about 5 mins atlast i fed up and bought another ticket to catch train. .this is the very worst experience i had with railways. .i[censored] want money just come to road, beg and collect. .dont ever do this fraud act to passengers. .if i have only one hundred ? what will happen ?

Recently I travelled in train pune-gwl express no. 11102 on 12/03/17. I had my reservation in 3AC class, at night i slept keeping my luggage under the berth, when i woke up in the morning i found my bag totally ripped of and have holes every where, i found there were mouses in the train, they have eaten all my eatable items in my bag also they tear my clotes off and damaged my belongings in the bag that costs me around 2500 rs. Such kind o[censored]nhygineic, uncleanliness is intolerable espicially in AC compartment, I want solution for that as a refund of something else.

The issue is serious and if i won't get solution for that i will put my complaint to higher authority or even more.

RR REFERANCE NO GHYRR699864, date of booking 02/02/2017. I was in guwahati dormitory on 3 march night. I experience lots of mosquitoes inside the room. Although the room was clean still lots of mosquitoes was there. Other passengers also faced same problem. I contacted the retiring room incharge. He said that there is no facility available to remove mosquitoes. Kindly look into the problem.

I booked an i-Ticket from IRCTC on March 4, 2017 with PNR number [protected]. The journey date was on March 10, 2017. On March 8, 2017, I received an email from [protected]@irctc.co.in that ticket could not be delivered due to "incomplete address, no service area, house locked, no such person available". Even though neither the address was incomplete nor the house was locked as I gave my office address and also my registered number is working 24*7, I received no such call from any courier agency. Yet I immediately responded the mail giving my office address and mobile number again. Despite this I didn't receive any call from courier/IRCTC until afternoon of March 9. Then I again emailed [protected]@irctc.co.in requesting for some contact number of courier company. Then they replied with a contact number of a person named Shashidhar from overnite courier. I talked to him and he assured me that I'd received the ticket by 11:30 am of March 10, 2017. But no one attempted to deliver it within time. Since then I tried to contact Shashidhar almost 30 times but he didn't picked my phone nor he called back. After being very desperate I sent an SMS to him requesting him to give me the number of the delivery boy. He replied me with some contact number but as usual No one picked the phone even after 10 full call retries. I again tried to call Shashidhar and sent an SMS to him but he never didn't replied. When I received no reply, I tried to contact IRCTC customer helpline. After 6 retries I could call helpline number but amazingly the customer representative told me to cancel my ticket. I told him if I didn't received the ticket how can I cancel it, she replied me to go to some railway counter and get the ticket issued by showing some ID and then cancel it. When I asked her to transfer the call to some senior executive she disconnected the call. After around 4 pm on March 10, 2017, someone called me that he had just received the ticket for delivery to me asking my address. But when I told him the office address, he replied that he couldn't deliver to my address as that was "No Service Area" for his company and told me to collect the ticket myself. I told him my inability to go so far and requested him to deliver the ticket by 6 pm as the train was at 10 pm but it was vein.
Finally the person for whom I booked ticket couldn't get the train just because of all this drama.
My questions to IRCTC:
1. If you people could not commit the delivery of i-ticket on time why are you even continuing the service: to waste money and time of public??
2. Do you people how I felt being tortured by two full days by continuously wasting my time by calling courier representatives and emailing IRCTC just to get the ticket delivery which you people committed and I had the right for it??
3. Why do IRCTC handled the ticket to a courier company which has my office address marked as "No Service Area"?? Did you people not know the urgency of the ticket??
4. What kind of dumb and rude people you hired for customer care service who even don't know how to talk to customers?? What a funny solution the customer representative told me for my complaint, "Go to railway counter get your ticket issued by showing ID card and then cancel it!!!"
5. Who will take the responsibility for all the mess happened to me, for money wasted in ticket, my time, my money wasted in all calls and above all the inconvenience of the person who couldn't go to home in this festive season??

Please take serious disciplinary actions to courier company, customer representative. And give me compensation for all the wasted money.

Thanks,
Vivek Gupta

Sir I. Have been booked Tatkal tickets from Guntur to Kazipet in cc for 3 members amount 1690 as been deducted from debitcard But tickets are not booked of date 12 march2017 sir pl. refund back my amount I have been booked tickets from irctc app Re: [IRCTC #5352316] E-Ticket sir pl. solve my problem there is no pnr number nor any transactionid. Provided

I have been booking rail tickets online since last so many years on desktops for which I am having one account. After I downloaded IRCTC Rail Co. App on my mobile and set my pin and booked a ticket, my ACCOUNT with User ID "sunil28jun" was being shown as suspended and I am not being allowed to book any ticket.

I registered a complaint with [protected]@irctc.co.in vide my mail dated 10.02.2017, with detail of my USER ID. The complaint was forwarded through my registered email with IRCTC. I wasn't assigned any ticket ID. I followed up with mail dated 13.02.2017. After this I was assigned ticket ID [IRCTC #5145144].

After no action or communication from [protected]@irctc.co.in, I followed up with mail dated 15.02.2017. I was again assigned ticket ID [IRCTC #5161342]. I talked on phone to customer care who advised that problem shall be rectified within 24 Hrs.

After no response / action, I mailed to [protected]@irctc.co.in on 16.02.2017, and again I was assigned a ticket ID [IRCTC #5175909].

As my problem was not being rectified I talked to customer care executive Urmila Dixit on 26.02.2017. She heard my problem and forwarded my mails to concerned departments with a copy to me. She had assured rectification of my problem within 24-48 Hrs.

But when even after 48 Hrs my problem was not rectified I talked to customer care on 02.03.2017, who again advised me to mail at [protected]@irctc.co.in. I mailed and again was assigned ticket ID [IRCTC #5276255].

After so many mails and follow ups, till 12.03.2017 my account is still showing suspended.

Since their is no other option of rail ticket booking online other than IRCTC, I am left with no option. I am seriously thinking of indulging in MALPACTICE i.e opening another account that shall be fake as IRCTC site will not allow me to open a new account with my actual phone number and actual email ID which are registered with my existing account.

What should i do wait or open a new account. Kindly HELP

Your WL Tkt Cancelled. PNR,
[protected], Amt 185 will be refunded in your account.

it is credited to some other account other than the one from which the ticket is booked.
I made a complaint Indian Railways-CD: Your complaint has been registered with complaint no. W/SC/HYB/[protected]. We'll get back to you soon.

While tracking it shows no complaints pending neither the refund is credited to my account

In the case of non booking of ticket in railway and Payment was deducted.it was refunded later, however the service charge amounting Rs. 11.50 which was also taken was neither refunded by bank or IRCTC. This is unjustified because without booking of ticket customer has to pay service charge. Please do the needful.and reply to my email id -shrikant.[protected]@gmail.com

The vendor is NOT SELLING approved drinking water which is Rail Neer in this train. Right from CSTM (where we boarded the train), they kept on saying that their Manager has informed them that they have run out of water.

Then I asked for the complaint register and they refused to give it.

Then I complained to the TTE, in whose intervention I got one bottle of Rail Neer.

But this did not stop here, again they started to sell other brands of water other than Rail Neer.

When I again raised the matter up with the TTE, did they sudden bring the whole bucket filled with the approved Rail Neer.

The above therefore proves that they always had Rail Neer with them, that the Vendor led by the Owner of the Company and its Managers are CHEATING the Customers and Indian Railway and therefore pray that they should be legally prosecuted and jailed for the above offense.

Irctc website and service both sucks as before - No improvements !!!
Idk what the heck Incharge is doing if any one want to travel and it's urgent he can't get just one ticket if he tries in tatkal it goes in TQWL in just Four minutes .I don't know who the hell is so fast.Tatakl booking time is 10am In first two minutes the **** server of this site doesn't and after two minutes all available seats changes into TQWL ..just one word the f_____ you "IRCTC". I have never seen such a **** thing in my life!

Dep. was 19/10/2014 19:45 hrs.) which was late more than 3 hours and actually departed on 20/10/2014 11:10 hrs. I filed TDR at 20/10/2014 09:48 hrs. Firstly CR refund only half amount stating below the status of my complaint. With reference to complaint no. W/CR/BB/[protected] it was mentioned that "As per record available in refund menu, A Sahu has travelled as per Electronic Deposit Receipt(EDR) and B Sahu has not travelled as per EDR. Hence as per rule only 1 passenger is eligible for full refund due to train late for more than 3 hours." The train (12361 ASN CSTM SUP EXP) actual departure was 20/10/2014 11:10 hrs. and the train (12321 HWH MUM MAIL) in which I have travelled on the same date (20/10/2014 12:40 hrs)

Traveling from Vishakapatnam to Hyderabad by train no 18509 . Ordered veg biryani from the pantry car. As per waiter, it was rs100/-. Had doubt and asked for price menu. Replied he does not have it and the manager has it. went to pantry car and asked for it but did not receive it instead was offered free food. I insisted for the rates to be displayed in the car. Later he showed the chart which was supposed to be displayed. To my surprise it was 55Rs. Now when is asked what is this difference for? He plainly said that he cannot prepare this for Rs 55 and also have to meet other expences . Now the question is How much does this Caterer make? How much extra amt does the passenger have to pay for the food?
Request IRCTC to make it mandatory to display the price meenu in every coach so that the passenger are not looted.

It's been more than 20 days I have cancelled 4 tickets, and I am still waiting for the amount of 3 tickets to be credited back to my bank account.
I have send multiple e mails to care @irctc.co.in, with the bank account statement.But there is no reply from Irctc side.
I am sending you the images of account statement and tickets.The same has already been forwarded to Irctc but there is no reply from the other side.

Hi,

I booked train ticket in irctc.co.in website on 08th March, 2017 under the Transaction #[protected]. I use the Paytm net banking option to process my payment.
The transaction got failed and the ticket was not issued but the amount Rs. 6401.50 got deducted from my Indian Bank account. Kindly arrange for the refund of the same amount and advise me for further course of action in this regard. Please note that I do not have any Paytm account and I did not do any transaction through Paytm before. Therefore, kindly refund the same amount to my Indian Bank account.

Thank you.
