Respected Sir/Madam,
On most of the station and also in train catering people takes 20rs of the water bottle. But standard price of bottle is 15rs. But still they are taking more money. If we asks they just do the argument. Kindly request you to take this thing seriously and please take the strict action against people involved in this thing.
Thanking you

I booked ticket in 13240 with one number [protected] for travelling on 21st feb from varanasi..
As the train was late for 12+ hours at my station so I cancelled ticket by Filling TDR but now TDR status is showing as CR repudiate and Reason for failed TDR registration as Invalid TDR timestamp:Delay. But I cancelled the ticket at 7 AM in the morning more than 5 hours before actual departure at my station but as the train was late by 12+ hours so I filled TDR more than 17 hours in this case..
Then for what reason this case is being shown as my TDR status..
I request to look into my problm and try to resolve it and let me know through my mail id registered on irctc.
Waiting for reply from IRCTC..

Dear Sir/Madam,

I had book a ticket from Mumbai - CSTM to Goa – Madgaon for 3rd January 2017 for six passengers which all was under status PQWL on 24th October 2016 in 2nd Class AC. During the passing months, two passenger got confirms. We decide to waited until chart prepare hoping that the rest of the passengers will get confirms as the status was waiting list 1, 2, 3, 4. However, on the final hours the status remains the same with two confirm & the rest still in waiting list. As it was family travelling together with two senior citizens, two female adults and two children, we had to cancel our plan to travel the journey by trains. I filed for TDR 2hrs 6 min (around 19:53) before the schedule travel time – 22:00hrs on that very date. I had also received a confirm mail for TDR process from [protected]@irctc.co.in with reference no. On 18th January 2017, I received a mail from [protected]@irctc.co.in that by TDR filing reason – REPUDIATION OF CASE without any details. I call up customer care to enquire & they told me to reopen my TDR case and send an email to [protected]@irctc.co.in. I again open my TDR case & wrote to them. After that I have not received any answer to my mail. It’s been more than 1 month since I’m following it up. Strange is that I have file TDR according to the IRCTC rules under 6 (1) clearly written in old & new rules I can file for TDR third minutes before the schedule departure time. I not only got re-fund on the 2 confirm passenger nor even on the 4 waiting list passenger which should had been automatically credit back to my account. Either the concern authority who is in charge does not knon it’s own rules or is beginning deaf to it.

I even wrote twice to [protected]@irctc.co.in & [protected]@irctc.co.in. Still no reply and then I wrote to [protected]@claims.indianrail.gov.in. Even from them no reply.

I'm forwarding my case for you to study and to get justice.

I was booking tickets for 2 adults who were willing to travel from jabalpur to nizamuddin station and payed the booking amount of 1459 rs to irctc connect through paytm ... Paytm transferred the amount to irctc which was recently added to paytm wallet by me but irctc neither booked the ticket for me nor showed that the booking cancelled and amount was deducted... I did received a dialogue box at the end that the seats would be in different coaches, i hit ok and nothing happenend.So what to know where is my money?

I should get a prompt or email right that the booking is cancelled and your amount will be refunded.

I contacted paytm as well they emailed me that the transaction was complete from there end and asked me to contact irctc.

What should i do next. I want my money back asap.. Its w big amount of 1459 rs

Do check all screen shots.. N give me the resolution please.

Thanks

My Parents are travelling to IRCTC tour package bharat darshan from Ujjain. Tour is for south destinations Tirupati, Rameswaram, Madurai, Kanyakumari and Trivendrum. Today i.e. 25th Feb 2016, they have almost stopped train for 6 hrs to some station. Still train has not moved. They were supposed to reach Kanyakumari by this time.Also, as train has delayed, they are now saying that they won't take them to Kanyakumari which is completely wrong. First of all, they should cover all the places which were promised as there is no issues from pilgrim's end. Also, evenif they have to stop traing for 6 hrs, instead of keeping at station, they shoud be provided with proper accomadation.

Respected sir/madam,
I tried to book 3 tickets from CSTM to Howrah on the 15th of February via the online booking process of the IRCTC. The tickets went unbooked, however the money was debited. After that started my tiresome correspondence with the IRCTC authorities. I tweeted to them, mailed them a multiple number of times after which they acknowledged the goo[censored]p. On the 21st they mailed me that the money had been refunded to my bank account. But it is not showing in my bank account even after 72 hours . I have mailed and tweeted the IRCTC authorities again, but unfortunately not received a reply yet. I don't know the reason behind this delay or swho to hold responsible-the banking authorities or the IRCTC. Please help.

Please find the feedback number "GAX[protected]" I have raised in IRCTC website for the Food quality and Food over pricing. However there is no matter mentioned in the Feedback resolving but the mail has been sent stating that it is resolved.

How is it resolved ? and what is the precaution they have taken. And when I see the status of my feedback status it is showing as No Data Found

The complaint is about the terms and conditions of IRCTC, the railway service providers.

The complaint is specific to the refund rules in case the train is delayed for more than 3 hours due to any reason and to compensate the passenger for the inconvenience faced due to such delay.

The refund rules states that if the train is late for more than 3 hours than the passenger can claim for a full refund if he has not traveled because of the delay. But the problem is, as per IRCTC rules, the claim for refund should be filed before the actual departure of the train. Otherwise the passenger will get no refund at all.

Now my complaint is, that the rule of raising the claim before the actual departure of the train makes no sense. For example, My mother was traveling and the train was expected to arrive at 9 a.m. and my mother was waiting at the station and there was an announcement that the train was going to be late. My mother was waiting at the station and could not raise a claim for refund because she did not have a smart phone to claim a refund. After waiting for two and a half hours at the station my mother left for home. After reaching home she informed me to claim the refund as she had not traveled and the train was late for more than 3 hours. I immediately raised a claim for refund which was roughly at 12.30 p.m. The train had departed at 12.05 p.m. That means the train was late by 3 hours and 5 minutes. My claim was rejected and it was mentioned that I should have raised the claim before 12.05 p.m. before the train departed.

This is a very stupid rule infact. Firstly, because a person who does not have a smart phone will not be able to raise the claim immediately. Some extra time has to be given to claim the refund if he/she has not traveled. Secondly, they cannot expect a person to raise a claim at such a time when he/she is already facing such inconvenience of the train being late.

The example written is an actual scenario happened with my mom when she was traveling. And regrettably I did not get the refund. I am disappointed with how the rules and regulations have been drafted.

Request a revert on my complaint as early as possible. Thanks.

I had booked an I-Ticket on IRCTC website on 20th Feb for journey date 24th Feb. Today is 24th Feb and I have still not received my railway ticket for my journey scheduled for tomorrow morning.
I called IRCTC 24x7 customer service twice. The first time they provided me the Overnite Express courier contact number to track my ticket. The number provided is switched off since. The second time I spoke with IRCTC 24x7 helpline, they said their system is down so they cannot help. Today I am trying to call them, no one is answering their 24x7 help line or any other customer service number provided in their website. I have to travel tomorrow and i dont have my ticket yet.

I am frequent traveler in trains. On[protected] i travelled from Hubli to Bangalore in Janasathabdi train. I purchased veg biriyani whish is tasteless and the raitha supplied is with watery curd with two onions and one daniya leaf in small quanitity. the Water selling vendor once came before starting train and didnot turn up to three hours of journey, the passengers them self went to the vedor who is in d5 compartment to collect water. all food items are sold at their whims and fancies. I request you to exhibit price list of all items in all compartments just like advertisements are pasted. when demanded for complaint book no response

I have submitted my TDR for not travelling due to train late for more then 3 hours( PNR number [protected]), but my TDR closed as "Passenger has Travelled" and i travelled on next day with PNR#[protected]. (screenshot attached for Reference)

more than 20 days have already been over and Refund has not been given by Railway IRCTC Team. IRCTC Team team is not responding my mail.

Kindly look into the matter and give me the refund without any further delay.

Few minutes back i tried to book tatkal ticket from sbc to tvc ..i tried three times ..everytime i got the same error "No seats available. Transaction dropped".

Money debited from my account 3 times. When will it be credited back to my account? Ticket charge service charge everything gone. No ticket booked as well.

Why this is happening? My plan to go to my place also dropped due to this as i cannot get ticket in any other train or bus last minute.

Kindly look into this asap. And acknowledge.

I logged into my IRCTC account for booking a ticket, I filled the details and then clicked "Next". Instead of landing to the payment page, it landed to some others user's account. It was showing confirmation tickets that the other user booked.
I logged out of that account immediately. This seems to be a major issue, Please check.I also have a screenshot of that.
