This is to complain about the allotting system for SE1 and SE2 coachs for train number 16227 and 16228(from Bangalore to Shimoga and from Shimoga to Bangalore). The coach is allotted at either just back of the engine or at the rear of train. It was very inconvenient for us, as we had to search for the coach(for 16227) which was attached just before the Engine. We had senior citizen who were travelling with us, and had to make them walk all the way till the engine for 16227. Over that as we were back to the engine, we were not able to sleep, as the engine makes sound.
The other problem was when travelling back from Shimoga to Bangalore(16228), again we had to search for the engine SE1 with senior citizen with us, assuming that the engine is located at front. We along with Senior citizens had to run all the way back(last coach of the train). We being youngsters still ok to run back to the last coach, but think about the elderly people how should they board the last coach. It is very inconvenient for them.
Hope you understand the situation and allot the coach SE1 and SE2 somewhere near to S1, S2.. etc so that it is easy to find and board the train. Hope you understand the situation and address the issue.
Thanks

        IRCTC internet booking net is very slow, especially in the morning time, for tatkal tickets it never open the site till 8am and when the site opens then tatkal serveces shows full, It is like fooling people by keeping this services whereas tatkal ticket booke through agents you will get confirmed ticket. It is surprising performance by IRCTC. My question is to IRCTC, have agents any special quota?

On 12/02/2015 e-ticketing Tout arrested by RPF Central Railway. Another big catch of e-ticketing Tout by RPF/Nagpur Division/Central Railway. Indian Railway also tweet never purchase e-ticket from unauthorized agents or persons, using their personal IDs for commercial purposes. Such tickets are liable to be forfeited under section (143) of the Indian Railway Act 1989. List of authorized agents are available on www.irctc.com E-Ticket Agent Locator Thank you very much Consumer Complaint.

              We tried to File TDR online but it was not accepting with a note"Only permissible before 4 hours " and also not have the reason in TDR option column particularly for delay arrival of linking train.
              Kindle arrange to refund our Money for that ticket in which I had not made journey due to time mismanagement of railway. I requesting for refund of Money.
              Due to this incident, Me & my mother have to take stay at Bhopal for Night on 03.02.2016 and booked again a ticket for next journey by Rewanchal Exp which booking PNR is -[protected] .
              In whole incident, I had bear for hotel stay and fooding expenses at bhopal as well as booked ticket again which are extra expenses for me.
              So you are requesting to refund the ticket amount.

              Thanks

                  As train number 22823 was running late by 7 hours on 14 Dec 2015, hence I asked IRCTC right time to file TDR, in return IRCTC has filed TDR ( I don't exact time when it was filed by IRCTC). Got an email from IRCTC at 10:13 Hours on 15 Dec 2015 having ticket number 2555755 that TDR has been filed.

                  Later on it was rejected by concern railway authority mentioning it was not filed at correct time. Since I have not filled up TDR or asked IRCTC to do so, I am eligible for refund either from Railway or IRCTC.

                          Sir

                          i have booked a ticket from irctc from jaipur to ahmedabad on 25/01/2016 but ticket is not booked and yet i have not received the payment of tran id-[protected] return id-[protected] as irctc shows refunded on 27/01/2016. Today my account is charged by difference amount as the service is not provided by the irctc any why should i pay the difference amount. I have sent a mail to irctc through my email id [protected]@outlook.Com and ticket no 2795937 is allotted on 25/01/2016 but still i have not received any solution or information regarding this. Why should i bear this charge and irctc benefited interest free amount. Irctc should pay the penalty for delay as ircts charges.

                          Thanks

                                        Website: Irctc.in

                                        We have booked 3 tickets in that 2 female and 1 male.
                                        In my printout it showing as
                                        Female 1 seat number 25
                                        Female 2 seat number 28
                                        Male 1 seat number 31.
                                        And we have cancelled male ticket due to some reason. Now TT is saying that female2 holds seat number 31 and male 1 holds seat number 28 so female 2 ticket got cancelled and he had put fine of 1k.
                                        Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
