Hello sir/mam,
I wanted to inform you tha the window seat allocation algorithm is wrong for the train number: 12054/12053. I have booked a seat from irctc many times in this train with preference as window seat. When I get a seat confirmation mail, it is written Windows seat (WS) next to the seat number, but actually a middle seat is been allotted to me every time. Please check into this issue. One piece of information I can provide you is that the seat numbers in the train were changed a few months back, so this problem is being faced since then.
According to me the actual window seat algorithm in that train should be (3n+2) where n=0.

Regards

not reciving nr no even after paying icket cost through BOI debit card.
Dear sir,
On 12 set 16, me and my friend visited rameshwaram for outing. Meanwhile at the Railway Station I asked for ice cream i tried to pay 20 rs as the MRP but vendor has asked 5 rs more than the mrp as cooling charge..whereas no extra charge is to be taken for cooling as I checked from consumer forum...

Window seat allocation algorithm is incorrect for train number 12054/12053 - Comment #2547080 - Image #0
I have reserved AC Iii ticket for pune hyderabad express.dated:[protected].Rs 352/- has been debited from my BOI bank, but i have not recived pnr no. The ticket was on the name of Rajani vaidya age 65 ( sr.citz)...kindly do the needful...Rajni vaidya
This is in reference to the TDR that I had filed for PNR Number [protected] for reason "Train Late More Than Three Hours and Passenger Not Travelled.", . I had received the acknowledgement mail with Reference No:[protected], dated 09 MAY, 2015. I have never received any update or refunds as of now. Please look into it and revert.

    Today i booked a ticket through irctc in train no 12557, and an upper berth has been allotted to a senior citizen who is a 68 years old female lady. The incident is being happening with me twice.

      My accounts were suspended because irctc thinks i used auto fill scripts or hit their site enormously. Both are false.

      I have only booked 1 tickets in the last month with my HDFC Credit card and irctc thinks it is autofill script i used.

      Please revoke suspension of my user id - hkwebtech

      I have just 1 sim card and i can not buy any more sim cards for this banned.

      Please give me proof if i have used autofill script.

      Thank you

              2 of my accounts were suspended successively because irctc thinks i use auto fill scripts or hit their site enormously. Both are false. I have only booked 2 tickets in the past month and my credit card allows quick transactions through a password i set and irctc thinks it is autofill script i use. Please revoke suspension of my user id - muditj46 as I cannot keep on buying sim cards again and again to satisfy your needs of banning me.

                Dear sir /madam
                The prices for the aristocrat trains like shatabdi and rajdhani are high but the food quality is low.The bread served in shatabdi was attacked with fungi when I travelled in Amritsar to new Delhi shatabdi last week .No doubt the train helps to reach our final destination in lesser time as compared to other trains on the same route but the food quality is deteriorating day by day. The icing on the cake is that the railways have been set up for public welfare but now they are not offering any more service as the new changes in the tarif plans like the flexi policy have worsened the situation.
                Thank-you

                  Hi, I had booked a confirmed ticket for my dad from Thane (TNA) to Ankola (ANKL) on train 12619 on the 7Sep. PNR No [protected] FYR.
                  The train was scheduled to depart at 01:00 PM but was however delayed by over 12 hours to 01:00AM.
                  There was no intimation of the same and my dad who is a senior citizen had to go there wait and come back home and then go again.
                  This is a huge inconvenience for senior citizen. People needed to going to the train station to get updated of delays. We provide our numbers for confirmation of tickets while booking. Why wasn't the same information used to notify of such delays. We expect some strict action to be taken about such inconvenience caused.
                  Please keep me updated on steps taken to correct this on [protected]@gmail.com
                  Thanks,
                  Jeevan

                            I had high fever and was not in the condition to travel on the same date due to which i had to file tdr for the refund of the ticket. I was trying to file tdr before 4 hrs of journey but the site was not working properly due to which i could not processed. Anyhow i managed to file tdr before 2 hrs of journey and i also could not found the option of sick in the list during filing tdr, so selected randomly the option which was available at that time.
                            This is my hard earned money and request you to kindly refund the money back for which i shall be highly grateful.

                              My account at the irctc site has been 'suspended' and i am not aware of the reasons. I am a frequent user of the irctc site and now i am unable to book tickets through this site.

                              I have been told to re-register with another mail and mobile number. I do not have any other mobile number, so this solution is not feasible.

                              Therefore, either you give me the specific reasons for the suspension or reactivate my account at the earliest.

                                Irctc doesn't have any sense of being on time. Such a pathetic service to be honest. How can a 10 hour train journey be delayed by a further 5 hours. Please stop railways as a whole if this is the nature of service you are providing. I am traveling to bangalore from kochi and i am in train for the past 15 hours. This should be a joke.

                                  And the food they are selling is worst. The way they are cooking in the pantry car is dirty and unhygienic.
                                  Pantry services are giving food at high rates, as per rules the actual rate is 50 but they are selling at 120.

                                    Today i booked ticket for confirm, but unfortunately one ticket book confirm, another rac ie objectionable,

                                      I tried to book a tatkal ticket on irctc website from Sealdah Rly Stn to Malda Town Rly Stn and after completing all formalities I tried to pay through Axis Bank Debit card. But after the money debited from my a/c, it went back to irctc website and shown error message. Since then neither I was unable to book another ticket thinking it must be a mistake neither able to see my booking history. And no sms from irctc was received. Almost every other weekend I face this kind of dillema on irctc website. They should upgrade their servers for tatkal services. And I request to credit my refund of Rs. 676.34(including s.tax)to my bank a/c.

                                      I had booked a ticket at 27 August 2016 from Kolkata to Amritsar through paytm wallet, after cancelling it we got a message informing me your ticket PNR [protected] has cancelled and 580 amount will be refunded to your account but there is no refunded amount in my paytm wallet. How much time will it going to take?
                                      I cant able to book the ticket in talkal. In few seconds all the tickets are waiting list. How can we go for emergency. Premium talkal also the cost is too much. So please consider this complaint.
