Dear Sir, during our journey from shegaon to CST on 04 Dec 2016 via amravati express, we have 24 reservations with us. Train reached at shegaon at 9:30 PM fully packed. Even there was no space at the door to enter inside the train, by pushing people we anyhow got the chance to go inside. When we moved to our respective reservation seats, many people already occupied that seats and on asking to leave that seats, they were started bullying with us and started arguing that "we are going for 6th dec programe in Mumbai and these trains and seats are free for us for 10 days and do whatever you want or you call whomever you want either tc or police, we dont care and we donot get up from seat and you people either having reservations dont come and also you are not allowed to do so during these days". Also these people abuses us. Sir we all 24 people travelled standing whole night from shegaon to cst including 70 year old man and 8 months old baby. Sir if they are allowed to go freely on train during that period, then why didnot you keep closed all the reservations for these trains on that period, so that many people like us should not get suffered in future. Also as we didnot get to seat at our respective reserved seats, we want the money of all 24 reservation tickets refunded. Sir i humbly requesting you, kindly look into the matter seriously and i am waiting for you reply.

Hi team,

I had booked the train ticket for the journey in the chennai mail 12658 from sbc to mas on 2nd dec 22:40 hrs. But later i got to know the train will be delayed and will be started from sbc only by 03 dec 04:00. So i filed a tdr against the category "train delayed by more than 3 hours and passenger not travelled" and did not travel in the train.

Could you please let me know when the tdr will be processed and as per the rules full amount would be refunded?

Date of Incident - 3/12/2016 early morning
Place of Incident - In Telangana state

My parents were travelling from Mumbai to Orissa in Konark expressin sleeper coach. My mom went for washing her face and she was carrying her purse. One person snatched her purse and jumped from running train.
My concern is why there are no security guard in each coach. And people who doesn't have the sleeper tickets are also being allowed to enter into sleeper class. Even though we are paying for sleeper class but its more like general. Ticket collectors are not doing their job properly and there is no security guard during night time.
If this thing continues common people will stop travelling in train. My sincere request please take the initiatives and increase the security system and dont allow outside intruders.

I used to travel between Bangalore and chennai. Most of the time, trains are late by 30 mins or even more than an hour. The lalbagh express has to reach kr puram by 8.30 but it used to reach by 10. It is very slow always. Please, make the trains to follow the at least to the nearest timings.
We are paying a lot and cancellations charges, tax charges are high, but the experience we face is not worth to it.

I want to trevel from benaluru city to chennai on december 4, 2016. As i booked sbc-chennai mail (12658) and the train was delay by fifteen hours when i login my irctc account and wants to cancel the ticket, its is not done as chart is prepared.

But according to the rules of irctc if any train was late or delay by more then 3 hours or more then the money should be refunded. But here it is not done so please take care of these kind of situations of the consumers...

I want to trevel from jalander city to new delhi on december 3, 2016 . As i booked shane-e-punjab (12498) and the train was delay by more then three hours and when 1 login my irctc account and wants to cancel the ticket, its is not done as chart is prepared.

But according to the rules of IRCTC if any train was late or delay by more then 3 hours or more then the money should be refunded. But here it is not done So please take care of these kind of situations of the consumers.

I am experiencing this issue from last 3 month. Every time I try to book tatkal tickets in first trial it always debit the amount but no tckts has been booking. In second try the tckts hets booked and amount debited thats fine. But whatabout the first debit???? It always refund me with 180 deduction. This is not fair. This is my 3rd time i am experiencing same issue. And now it has put limitation that only 2 tatkal tcktcs can be booked from a IP. What is this?? First of all in first try it just debit the no ticket booking was done and second chance is not possible now. Is it fair? Login session is also very less. User gets logged out before the OTP comes. Very worst service.

The ticket with status RAC is cancelled by me.as per the norms on the website of IRCTC only 60 rs should be deducted as the ticket is RAC but they have deducted 180 rs per ticket.also there customer care no is switched off I have also send the mail regarding dis but they didn't take any action .I m highly disappointed also plz provide me there contact no

I traveled by Shatabdi Exp in November 2016 between Salem and Chennai and the ticket charges included 175 for Catering and 238 for Dynamic Charges(not sure what it exactly means though). The food is absolutely not worth the price. In the list of items they served includes 1)a bread sandwich which perhaps contains 10 gms of scraped carrot in between the so called sandwich and nothing else. 2) Tea - The quality of tea is nothing better than usual sleeper class train pantry 3) Soup - it contained just starch and nothing else, no taster either 4) Meal box (much better than the other items served) 5) Small samosa, which was ok. First thing, these many items are absolutely not required during a 4.5 hrs journey. These are included for name sake and variety sake. For the quality the total price should not be worth more than Rs.100, but we are charged 175. Can railway revise the charges and improve the quality of food served and provide just what is needed?

Train was late more than 5 hours from the scheduled time so i filed a tdr and its been more than 4 months my money has not been refunded by irctc many complaints through email was sent to irctc but no specific reply was sent to me as to when the money will be refunded. Kindly look into the matter and refund my money to my account. Below are the following details
Train no./name: 12250/anvt hwh yuva
Date of journey: 31-jul-2016
Pnr no. [protected]
Cancellation id: [protected]
The matter comes within the jurisdiction of eastern railways (Er)

I have booked 3rd AC tickets for New Delhi to Nagpur on 1st January from mobile app IRCTC CONNECT on 30th November. When I was done with the payment, the app displayed the message"booking not allowed ". So I thought it might not be booked. I again try to book the tickets two times the same message displayed again.
After a few moments I received message from Bank regarding deduction of money thrice from my account even when i do not receive any tickets. A total deduction of 1735*3=Rs. 5205.
Next day I tried booking tickets for new Delhi to Nagpur on 30th December, the same thing happen and my bank account deducted Rs. 685.
And the strange thing happen is that I have received a mail from regarding ticket information but that wasn't my ticket. I think that app may be hacked or there might be some technical issues related to it.
I also tried calling on customer care number, but it was busy all the time or it did not receive my call from last three days.
I request you to look into matter and send me the ticket information on app and mail so that I can cancel my tickets.
The only details i have regarding booking the tickets is that my name, age.

On 24 th Nov i again called to IRCTC customer care, but that time executive told to me if amount is not credited in your bank account, than send your bank statement from Booking Date to Refund Date, after that i send the statement also and provide the IRCTC TICKET ID # 4429618.

I am using IRCTC to book personal tickets for travel since many years. but without any prior information or notice my account is suspended. The best part is when i tried to register in e-wallet the transaction took place & debited my account two times with Transaction id :- IGAAITOQQ4 & IGAAITOSP1 but after making payment the page just showed " SORRY TRY AGAIN"
I am feeling sorry to state the day by day government is making things complicated for general public by adding such features which is not tasted for problems.

Dear Sir,
I wish to highlight that, my IRCTC account has been suspended for no valid reason or prior notice or intimation.
When contacted Customer Care it was learned that account has been suspended.
But i assure that no such activities were carried using my account.
My account has been used only by me for booking e-ticket of me and my relatives..

Now customer care says i need to re--register with new email id and new mobile number.
I cannot afford to have new number.

After two subsequent follow ups IRCTC is not at all bothered to give response

Ticket ID:
[IRCTC #4450712]

We travelled from Lucknow to Delhi from gorakdham express on 13th November. We booked 6 tickets on one pnr and only 2 were confirmed. While Mr. Anand Saxena and Mrs. Madhu Saxena were travelling they cancelled the other tickets. Since the other were senior citizens they didn't preferred to travel in uncertain conditions . Hence they travelled by bus. So when they didn't travelled we should get the refund of the amount. So I am lodging this complaint as I didn't availed four tickets for which I am charged. Kindly provide the refund for it.
