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

I am trying to get my email verified so I can operate and buy tickets online. My phone was immediately verified. Attempts to activate my email has failed since October 25, 2016. I have written multiple emails, to which I keep getting auto-replies.

I cannot buy tickets. I need irctc log in details to buy tickets even from other websites. This is gross mismanagement. If they cannot manage it then allow people to buy tickets from elsewhere. If I had the option I would definitely not use your website.

My email docket number is IRCTC #4254078. Everytime I email them with my docket number, a new auto reply comes with another new docket number, giving me a docket number of the reminder email, which they will never respond to. If I had time, money and energy, I would have tried to make irctc suffer, but I have neither of the above. So, I may have to just travel by air, because I am now left with no other option.

They are in Waiting list. I have booked the TDR file also. Till now no mail came to me for refund. Only two RAC passenger took the train and rest of them didn't.

It is so shameful to find an insect in the life nimbu pani served in swarn shatabdi going from new delhi to amritsar train no. 12029 seat no. c13 12. i am a physician working for punjab health and family welfare. to my surprise when i complained to the staff about that they asked me to throw it and get another one. it's such a shame on the quality of food served. alrhough cost of travelling is getting higher each day but food quality is getting worse. don't play with the lives of other. such a shame on the food quality control. you guys just serve anything. disasterous and insane indeed.

I have booked train ticket with a pnr no.-[protected], train no.-59386, doj-29.10.16., sl, gzb-moz, dep:21.35, mohd asif+2.
It is very disappointing that irctc have booked a ticket of train no. - 59386 which has not plying from this station as i have seen in railway timetable at ghaziabad station when i have been complaining for this act of railways and some railway officer has checked the train no.in front of me and confirmed that it is a matter of negligence from irctc.
When i email to irctc @ [protected]@irctc.co.in they have sent me ticket id-[irctc#4260392].
Now what would i do as the mental and physical harassment given to me and my family is beyond imagination at that night.
I am afraid that if you cannot offer a better level of service then many o[censored]s will give up the tradition to travel by rail.
Please help me in all respect and compensate you fault at the earliest.
Thanks and regards

I am sudhakar from chennai. i tried booking a train from chennai central (mas) to salem (sa) on 26th oct 2016 (journey date: 27th oct) in tatkal. after booking the ticket, i got a message as "no seats available. transaction dropped" but the amount 178 was deducted from my bank account. till now i didn't get any refund for my deducted amount. so please take this complaint and process my refund. i have attached the image for the dropped transaction.

We have booked below mentioned train from Nellore( NLR ) to KrishnaRajaPuram( KJM )

Train : BBS BNC SUP EXP
Train No: 12845
From Station: NLR
To Station: KJM
PNR: [protected]
Booking Date: 30-Aug-2016
Boarding Date: 31-Oct-2016.

The SMS we received and the "print ticket" option in irctc has shown the scheduled departure is on 31-Oct-2016. But it did not show the time of departure. So, we have no clue about the train arrival and departure timings.

since the date of journey is on 31-Oct-2016, I have checked the "Find Train schedule" option in IRCTC under "enquiry" tab. The schedule showed that the train will arrive Nellore( NLR ) station at 23:52 and departures at 23:53.

so, with the information that I have, it is more obvious that the train will arrive at 23:52 on 31-Oct-2016. Hence, we reached NLR station on the 31-Oct-2016 and we came to know that the station has left NLR on 30-Oct-2016.

Since the information provided for us from IRCTC is not correct. I am requesting IRCTC team to kindly revert back the amount that we have paid.

I have attached the ticket with this complaint.

Thank you & have a great day.

My name is Sanjay Tiwari.I booked a ticket from Tatanagar to Howrah from the online portal of IRCTC. I entered all necessary details like ATM pin and account number of my SBI bank account. The message displayed read as "Your transaction is being processed". However instead of getting a copy of the ticket or a confirmation message on my mobile number my account was logged out automatically. I received a message from SBI regarding my transaction which shows a purchase 'worth rs1437 on POS SBIRCTC at IRCTC txn#[protected]. My IRCTC username is 'Ritasanjay'. Please help me in either receiving my money back or getting a confirmation of my ticket.

Respected Sir/mam,

I am the regular passenger travelling in Indian railways. Maintenance of bathrooms are worst, ladies facing the lot of problems with this.

And the foremost thins is HIJRAS, where we are giving lot of respect to them but they are misusing this. They are harassing ll the passengers in train for money, using vulgar language.
Please don't allow them to the trains without tickets.
Please do kind action on this.

Thank you very much

To whomsoever it may concern,
It is sad to acknowledge you that i lost an amount of 3100 indian rupees while booking ticket through your online portal
Being unable to be notified of any action in the process.
I was trying to reserve ticket from kasaragod to banglore central.
Furthur to this i was notified of being charged rs. 3100 for the same, unfortunately i didnt recieve any confirmation of booking the seats.

My contact detail as follows
Name; noushad
Place: kasaragod
Bank/card details: axis bank kasaragod

Since last one year, i'm facing a great problem in sign in of irctc. I put the accurate captcha, but it showing incorrect captcha. Some times site opens, but on clicking a menu, it immediately logs out.
Why should we pay a descent money on booking ticket as service tax to irctc? The site mal functions maximum times, then why government is not looking after it. Prices are increasing, but service is becoming poorer day by day.

Respected sir/mam,
We are traveling in B2 compartment of golden temple mail with pnr no [protected] .the door near to our seats cant automatically close wen left open which is leading to inefficient cooling of the compartment as well as bad smell from toilet side persisting in our compartment.

Kindly pay attention and resolve this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you
