Please process the tdr and initiate refund for the same.

I was travelling from NDLS to LKoJN yesterday by Swarn shatabdi 12004 in coach C10 with my old father pnr:[protected]. During whole journey a bunch of pessengers (around 20 in number both boys and girls) kept on making loud noise for the all time and I requested them to talk slowly. These pessengers were actually had their seats at C9 coach but exchanged with the pessengers travelling in coach C10. Despite request they reminded unfazed. Other pessenger didnt raise any voice fearing some ugly fight. I raised the complaint against them twice through your sms service but nothing happened. TT just came and said them to talk slowly and earlier himself was shaing a gag with them. we suffered like anything for 6 long hours continuouslyand following that my father got anxiety attack. I request a full refund request for the same and I will request railways to take some measure to curb such situation. it was just a hell of a journey.

Hello team,

This is to inform you that, i have booked ticket online through irctc and my pnr no. is [protected], but my ticket has been cancelled due to waiting. while booking ticket irctc service charges has been added. my first complaint is that they have added 46rs has a service charge and same ticket can be booked from window without additional charges. what is the funda of deducting so many charges. another complaint is about refund of amount, if my ticket has been cancelled it means i haven't taken any irctc services then i should refund service charge by irctc which is not the case.

Request you to look into above issues.

Kindly revert for queries.

Regards,
Santosh keswani

Please do needful whatever is required.

I am currently on board in train no. 11058 traveling from PATIALA to BHOPAL JN.

I booked my ticket yesterday .
At first time I could not get the booking process complete bcz of some site issues .
So I waited n checked again my booked history if ticket was booked or not.
IT WAS NOT BOOKED

After some time I again tried to book the ticket.
This time I succeeded n got a confirmed ticket in B2, 34.
I also got the confirmation message on my mobile no. for B2, 34.

Now when TT came to check the ticket he told me that 2 tickets have been booked under your name in same coach B2, 47

I once again checked my history now n it is not showing any history of B2, 47.

I have neither received any confirmation message for B2, 47 nor any history is available for this seat .

Although my SBI account is showing 2 times money has been debited for booking

Please check my booking status n refund my amount of seat B2, 47 as I did not book it

I m attaching snapshots of my ticket booking history

I travelled in AC chair car C2 coach of train 12676. It had those brown seats unlike the usual blue seats. These new kinds of seats cause back problems easily. They cannot be pushed back beyond 15degrees. The window seats do not have arm rests, so we have to lean our head on the wall for comfort. Then we have the everpresent problem of cockroaches running everywhere. This is an AC coach that people book for a comfortable journey. Instead we live to regret ever travelling in it.

I had booked a 2A ticket from Bangalore cantonment (BNC) to LTT for 11th of Oct 2016 for train number 11014. Scheduled time of boarding was 4:10pm.
I arrived at 3:40pm and saw that the train had already arrived. The announcement and all indicators confirmed that the train was precisely what I had booked:Mumbai Kurla LTT express to Mumbai. I also asked passengers whether the train was headed towards Mumbai. They said Yes. So I boarded the train and occupied my confirmed seat. But to my surprise, the train departed early and headed towards Bangalore City and then went headed back towards Bangalore Cantonment.

At this point, the TTE came to check tickets. I showed him my identification card. But he wasn't interested. He demanded a fine for travelling ticketless from BNC to Bangaor City and back. The fine he said was Rs 650 (for one way ticket in a 2AC from Cantonment to Bangalore City)x2 (for fine) for one way (Total amounting to Rs. 2600). Although shaken, I told him politely, that I saw that it was my train: Train no. 11014. He denied that it could have shown train 11014 and said that it is 11013. and kept demanding money in front of fellow passengers. He mocked me for believing that a train can arrive early and laughing with other passengers said that trains only get late. He then rudely demanded the money again. I did not have that much money (which is beside the point). Finally he said that, and I quote, "Since I am a human being, I will charge you a fine for general class w/o ticket which is Rs 400." I gave him Rs. 400. I told him that I did not break any law. Again, rudely, he said that its because of him being a human being he charged me less instead of the whole amount. Threatening me with a bigger fine, he walked away.
My fellow passenger said that this is a regular practice. He would see this with every trip: The train arrives later than passengers; they board the train, the TTE humiliates and fines them for boarding a train that goes in the supposedly reverse direction.

It is very cheap of the TTE to hand out some target number of fines. I have witnessed a man harassing a woman on the train, to which a TTE maintains silence, because such is a lesser crime in the eyes of the IRCTC.

My experience was humiliating to say the least.
