Address: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, 380054

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.

      Reason - train late more than three hours and passenger not travelled
      I have filed tdr on 27 september 2015 with irctc. But refund not credited in my account.
      I have followed up with irctc but got only one reply i. E. "request forworded to indian railway and we will refund once confirmed railway."

      Irctc cheating with me as i can see this incident history has been deleted from their record as wel.
      Please take a strict action on it.

            Dear sir,
            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,
            Nilanchal sahai

                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.

                    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.

                        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.

                              Should not charge if the ticket canceled by IRCTC.

                              1. Tatkal WL ticket should not charge if IRCTC cancel
                              2. TDR - How do I know that I would miss my train 4hr before. unable to file
                              Rs.1500 was not refund not even single rupee.
                              3. Cancelling charge per ticket is more
                              4. Tatkal quota is unable to use by people, might be IRCTC employees are blocking.

                              only middle class people doing train travel, why this many charge...?

                              Tatkal WL ticket should not be charged if IRCTC cancels ticket. If IRCTC is not able to provide reservation and cancel the ticket and not allowing passenger to travel, then under what grounds is IRCTC not providing the complete refund. It is unfair and highly unacceptable.

                                  But seats still available in list of premium tatkal.
                                  When trying for the 1st time there was 75.. then saw 64, and so on till 12..
                                  Each time i am trying i am getting "no seats available : transaction dropped", after entering the passenger list.

                                  Very stupid service by irctc online ticket system I have started booking when i saw Avalilable but after booking it goes to wating list.

                                  My complaint is why they did book my ticket when it goes to waiting list, without intimate us how irctc will book ticket in waiting list.

                                    I m a regular user of irctc having more than one account but i use only one account as my regular usage. I got mails that all my accounts are deactivated including the account by name 'narasimha' which is utmost important to me. I have to cancel few tickets for next week from this account. I am using this account only for personal purposes and not for commercial use.

                                    So, please consider this mail and activate the account mentioned above as soon as possible.

                                    With regards,
                                    Narasimha

                                      My login id is "giri0281" and i m unable to view my booked ticket history.
                                      I can see only the tickets of travel for this month (Aug 2016). The tickets i booked for travel on feb 2016 is not visible.
                                      I need to have record of the same.

                                      Thanks to let me know the way to view all the tickets that i have booked.

                                      With warm regards,
                                      Girish

                                        Please specify why i got no refund for cancellation of ticket against pnr number: [protected]. As the ticket was booked on 16th aug 2016 for journey on 18 th aug 2016.in no case a tatkal ticket can be booked before 2 days so i thought it to be normal ticket.

                                        For error in system from your end why should customer be penalised.

                                        Please refund cancellation amount or i shall take up matter with legal court.
