The tdr filed against pnr number [protected] with reason party partially confirmed/waitlisted and waitlisted passengers did not travel.
As i recieved the information to file tdr by calling at irctc helpline no.[protected],
I filed tdr as on 06 july, 2016 at 20:53:46 but they had not said me to collect non travel certificate against wl/rac passenger, as i have no any such kind of information how could i get to know this all process.
I am a simple user belongs to a middle class family. the amount may be small to you but this is really big for me.
Is there my only mistake to book ticket online and pay more service charges, and in return i have to tolerate for refund. when i bpooked the ticket you should send this with the ticket at my email, so i can get all the information at proper time, even you did not send me any information when i file tdr.
I am requesting you please reopen my case for refund. i will very much thanksfull to you

    Please see below mail and it is almost seven months, i am yet to get refund for untraveled journey ticket from irctc, despite of mail.

    Dear customer,


    Your tdr requested against pnr no.[protected] has been forwarded to northern railway (Nr) on 03-feb-2016. Irctc not received refund from northern railway (Nr). Once refund is received from northern railway (Nr) the same will be credited back to your account.

    Your complaint further referred to northern railway (Nr) through e-mail id "[protected]@claims. Indianrail.gov.in".

    Please note that the decision about the repudiation/ rejection or amount of refund has been taken by the concerned zonal railways as per extant refund rules of indian railways and not by irctc.

    Inconvenience caused is deeply regretted


    Thanks & regards

              There is no price chart available in the coaches, for which the passengers are not getting the correct price for items by caterers providing food, water, snacks. Some examples are:

              water bottle is charged for rs.20/- (instead of rs.15/-)
              tea is charged for rs.10/- (instead of rs.7/-)
              frooti charges for rs.20/-(instead of rs.15/-)
              veg meals are provided for rs.120/-

              hence it is earnestly requested to provide the price chart in each & every coach & as it was done in the stations kiosks.

                Pnr-[protected], train no.:12958, dt:[protected], from ndls to adi, class:2a, seat no. A5, 43
                I had asked for boiled veg food, the caterer took order thrice and in the end at 10:00 pm, refused to serve such meals and made me go hungry.
                I am still in the train, it is 8:00 am and no tea is served.
                These new caterers are not properly trained and can not maintain quality service in such premium trains also.
                The flush in the right side toilet is also not working, this implies poor maintainance.
                Kindly take necessary actions, as we are loosing faith in the quality of your services

                I'm complaining about the OTP not received by my docomo or aircel cell no. during the mobile verification step of new registration. Please solve this issue asap. It is a matter of pride for our Indian railway as people are facing the trouble.

                    Irctc cheating with me as i can see this incident history has been deleted from their record as wel.

                          Pnr number -[protected]
                          Date of journey - 20 august 2016
                          Train number - 12043

                          The catering staff failed to provide soup, proper cutlery, ice cream to the passengers. We were provided with lunch just 20 minutes before reaching final destination. The staff also did not five any complaint book when we asked. Moreover, the staff behavior was very rude. For instance, when they didn't provide us with any kettle for tea, they asked to take and share it with the nearby passenger.
                          We were four family members traveling together and the whole experience was not up to the mark.
                          I hope you will look in to this matter and will take proper action.

                          Sincerely,

                              My login id "rmnair57" has been suspended by irctc summarily without assigning any reason. On enquiry, it was informed that i allegedly had used auto-fill option while booking tickets. Which to my best of knowledge and belief have not utilised.
                              Problem is not suspending my account, but my account had a e-wallet deposit balance which, they should have refunded to me immediately. It is grossly unfair, suspending my account, immediately after my depositing some money in the e-wallet account.
                              I would appeal to you to intervene to refund me my money back. Immediately.

                              Though this was promised so far no money is refunded to me.
                              Regards

                                  Dear sir/ma'am

                                  I am a regular user of irct since many years.
                                  It's being very shameful that how unnecessarily indian railways are charging high amount even if their is no waiting list.
                                  I have tried booking 1 ticket from najibabad to delhi on 16-august-2016 on mussorie express (Train no 24042). While booking it was showing 50 waiting list.
                                  Since i have to be on delhi urgently by 17th morning so i took reservation on tatkal. But when i catched the train there was no waiting at all, almost 20 seats were free. I even confirmed this with tt.
                                  It's so wrong method of irctc to charge money of tatkal even if there is availibility of seats on train.

                                  Kindly please return the money that i extra charged for tatkal.
                                  Money charges was :rs 862
                                  Normal fare : rs 405

                                  Kindly please consider this complaint.

                                    If a confirmed ticket is cancelled more than 48 hrs before the scheduled departure of the train, flat cancellation charges shall be deducted @ rs.240/- for ac first class/executive class, rs.200/- for ac 2 tier/first class, rs. 180 for ac 3 tier/ac chair car/ ac 3 economy, rs.120/- for sleeper class and rs.60/- for second class. Cancellation charges are per passenger.
                                    This is what indian railway says before the schedule departure of train but the fair which irctc deducted is more than that is it a sham to railway or sham to mr. Suresh prabhu.

                                      Sub : session expired after making payment - no ticket booked but amount was deducted from my sbi account.
                                      My transation ref no ig0cnzgye2 for rs.643 on date 19/08/2016 and time 11:07

                                      I faced a problem while booking a ticket now on irctc.co.in from kacheguda (Kcg) jn to karur (Krr) on 20/08/2016 in kcg express train no 17615. After entering the details of the one passengers, i made the payment using sbi netbanking. After making the payment i got the message that the session is expired.

                                      I checked my sbi bank transactions and i can see a payment of rs.643/- made. However when i see the list under "booked tickets" on my irctc account (Tamildas30), i cant see any reservation made.

                                      Please help me refund my amount of rs. 643/- to my sbi account.
                                      Hoping to here from you soon.
