Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Complaints & Reviews

Sir, I have booked a train ticket ( ) from BZA to MAS, date of journey 14-Dec-2016. But the train was late by almost 5 hrs at BZA station so i applied for TDR. But the status is CR Repudiate. How can this be? according to rules if train is late more than 3 hrs you will give back all the money. And i came to know train running late only at BZA station.I want my money back

Respected Sir/Madam,
Recently I have travelled through Rajdhani Express and based upon my personal experiences/observations I would like to draw your kind attention towards certain issues mentioned below-
1.The catering charges are "compulsory" for Trains like Rajdhani & Duronto if I want to travel in these executive trains.
Explanation- Though if I consider on a rational & humanitarian ground, it's very likely to serve good on such long distance trains but what I think is that the meals can also be purchased from the authorised vendors/IRCTC staffs on demand or by pre-booking meals but it should not be a compulsions for the passengers to pay for meals if they want a ticket.
2.The catering charges for Veg & Non-Veg meals in these trains are same for the sake o[censored]niformity but we know the actual price difference in there raw material & preparations.
3.The quality of food served in these Trains is a matter of confusions, suspicion & it remains changing with the location & time of the day.
So, in the above lines I have expressed my views.Therefore, understanding the veracity of the circumstances, I hope that you will certainly take necessary measures for the benefit of the passengers.
Thank You,

I was trying to book a tatkal ticket on 3rd december 2016 through IRCTC website. the ticket didnt get booked but money got deducted from my bank account. on 5th december 2016 it showed in the irctc website, that my money was refunded into the bank account, but when i checked in the bank transaction history then it did not show any refunded amount from IRCTC.
the irctc complaint numbers are either not reachable or busy.

My train 12307 was on Wed Jan 04(Sheduled departure 20:10:00) was at Agra fort station. I came to know that the train would be late more than 3 hrs.
so I filed TDR against My PNR Number [protected] and PNR Number [protected](TDR filing time :Wed Jan 04 18:18:48 IST 2017, and Wed Jan 04 18:17:34 IST 2017 respectively) before sheduled and actual departure of the train . As per railway rule for train late more than 3hrs, I had applied TDR before sheduled and actual departure of train, but it is repudiated by the Chief Commercial Manager/Refunds with reason of '' Invalid TDR stamp: delay''. Actual train depature time was about Thr Jan 05 3:00:00 which is almost more than 7 hrs late at Agra cant station. It is totally injustice.

Dear sir,

I had booked a tatkal ticket with PNR # [protected] (Chhatisgarh Express) for travelling from bhopal to bilaspur on 16.12.2016. the train was late (more than 10 hours). After cheking The status of train at around 04:00 pm I had filed the TDR citing the reason that the train is late more than 03 hours and hence i shall not travel by this train my ticket amount shall be refunded in my account.
Thereafter I received an email from Chief Commercial Manager/Refunds ([protected]@irctc.co.in) on 21.12.2016 stating that your refund has been repudiated without mentioning any reason.
After that I had sent request regarding the refund for the same to [protected]@irctc.co.in vide email dtd. 27.12.2016, 03.01.2017 and 09.01.2017 to but neither did I receive my refund nor any reply from IRCTC.

Hence it is requested to please help me in getting my refund as this is absolutely unethical and unprofessional behaviour of IRCTC for not refunding the money eventhough the train was running late for more than 10 hours.
