Tdr status is shown as “cr registered “against irctc reference no for this is: [protected]. Despite a lapse of over 6 months the refund has not been credited into my bank account.

                        I have a regular, conscientious, law-abiding user of irctc services for the past 12-14 years or more. Suddenly, about 2 weeks back, my user id was blocked. On checking up with the customer care, i was informed that it was due to "fraudulent activity" that i was supposed to have committed. They suggested that i create a new user id with a new cell number and new email id. I repeatedly called them several times over the past 2 weeks, and sent several mails indicating my inability to procure a new cell number just for the sake of creating a new log-in id. The responses, each time, was pathetic. The call centre executives neither could communicate properly in english, nor were they bothered to give a proper reply. Some of my complaint ticket nos. Are 3240529, 3241284, 3241174, 3246683, 3249610, 3249720, 3261040.
                        I look forward to a quick resolution to my problem

                          Sir,
                          I have been using IRCTC service to book train tickets since from 2008.
                          I book train tickets for my family only and not even for friends.
                          I hardly book 15 to 20 tickets per year.

                          Recently my user id got blocked and I have written many mails to them, but no response. After 7 days, I called customer care. First day one executive told me that I did not fill my profile and hence it was disabled. He asked me to wait for 24 hours. But, after 2 days also it was not enabled and hence I called them again. Second time, one executive gave me the reason that, I have misused the service. I did not have any answer. Now, I can not book any tickets. If I have misused, well, I appreciate them. But, how they can tell me that I have misused. They did not even tell me which way I have misused? kindly help me.

                              Hi,
                              I was travelling to jaipur from delhi via double decker train on 17th april but the train was cancelled from indian railways after 6 hours delay due to some work going on tracks.I contacted irctc customer care and they said firstly they are not aware about any train cancellation and in case if it is done they will refund the amount within 7 days.Now it has been more than 7 days and there is no update as to when the amount will be refunded back to customers.This cancellation news was also been published in news paper but seems like irctc is not bothered about the refund.I am attaching the newspaper screenshot so that you are aware about the same.I have booked my ticket via mobikwik but even they are not replying on the same case as to why till now my money has not been refunded in my account.
                              Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                              The staff in the train are charging more amount for the goods then the MRP.
                              They are charging Rs20 for a water bottle which has a MRP of Rs 15/-.
                              Kindly take a proper action.

                                Hi

                                I have been using irctc same login from last 10 years and this month I have booked 5-6 tickets for my family relatives and after that I tried to login online though irctc it says user is disabled. How can you disable account for booking tickets what's is fraud in this. My account and I booked tickets .

                                I have called customer care more than 20 times and worst ever as irctc.

                                I have emailed they are saying create new profile, what should I create a new profile when there is no mistake from my side . I have few tickets booked and next week is travel how should I get the details of the tickets I booked using this account.

                                When I tried to login from website it says user disabled and if I login from mobile app its working. What kind of the system the irctc is using. IRCTC is doing fraud here not from my account .

                                Hope you understand my frustration and enable my account I have travel coming week.

                                  I booked an e- ticket through IRCTC of train shm- tvc vivek express for 26.04.2016 for journey from shalimar to Tirupur . The passenger is of 79 years of age. The ticket booked is of 2A but the seat alloted to me is A1, 46 that is Upper seat .
                                  How can i super senior citizen step up and seat on upper seat..Is this way right..
                                  And the lower seats are in RAC ..there is no way out to adjust with the lower seat passengers also.. This is not Right at all..
                                  I await for an strict and positive Action against Indian Railways
                                  I would plead some top officials to take serious actions against INDIAN RAILWAY not because I faced lot of inconvience, but to better the system.

                                      Dear Sir / Madam
                                      I have been trying to approach IRCTC through to customer care service since a couple of months but am not able to get a resolution to my issue.
                                      Few months back I was wrongly accused by IRCTC of fraud during tatkal hours on the IRCTC website.
                                      Though I have never ever misused the irctc websites and have been a long time user to book my travel tickets without causing any misconduct, my account was suspended
                                      I was told that I will need to register using a different Mobile and Email. I dont have any other mobile
                                      So does that mean I am not allowed to travel via Indian Railways hence forth without doing anything wrong?
                                      I have not been also told what Fraud was done so that I could fight it.
                                      No Doubt irctc is doing good by trying to stop frauds from misusing and making ticketing smooth
                                      But is there no mechanism to separate the actual frauds from the genuine travelers like me?
                                      Request your help on the issue at the earliest.

                                        Dear,

                                        I have file the tdr request on 8th of oct. 2015 while our train was cancelled on same date from amritsar to ajmer train no. 19612.But they have return my amount of pnr no.[protected] & [protected] but when i asked to return my amount for other tickets for the same train which has the pnr no. Of [protected], [protected] & [protected] they had refused while saying the train was on time and ran from the station and after that i have put so many mails to irctc but no one answered my mail. Now i finally got the reply while saying that the train run on time but it was not ran and irctc refund my amount for 2 pnr no. Which i mentioned above and now how they can say that train run on time??? Please look into this matter as soon as possible because it has been more then 6 months and release my due amount. Waiting for your decision otherwise i have to hire a lawyer to file the case against indian railway.

                                        Regard's,
