Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Complaints & Reviews

I logged in to book the tatkal ticket from Chennai to Secunderabad.
When i am booking available tickets are 308 in Charminar express and 280 in Hyd Express. It took me 2 minutes to go to payment site. by that time status of my ticket is in waiting list 1. So i went to book HYd express there waiting list is 2. Am i mad to believe with in 2 minutes 280+308=588 tickets got booked. So half of the tickets are blocked by the agents itself. So why they keep the facility to book for a common man. Disgusting politics in ticket booking also.

Hi, tried to do tatkal ticket at 11AM on 30/09/2015 in Pushak from Bhopal to Lucknow, I filled details on IRCTC web with 2 minutes once I clicked on payment processing my money has been deducted, now there is no record where the money is and where is my ticket. then I rang irctc customer services. they said, your transaction was failed and they are refunding money after deduction of services charges plus cancellation. I need my full money back as you havn't provided any services neither I requested to cancel my ticket. pathetic services. My transaction no is [protected].

Nellai express .. I had a ticket which is on waiting list 5, I boarded reserved compartment to check with ttr for any empty seat allocation, they said no seats and he asked me to go to unreserved compartment, I asked why should I go to unreserved compartment when I paid for this, he said u can't even go to unreserved coach as per the rules ! .. I asked them where my 350 rupees goes when I have no place in this train ... They treated me worst and forced to get down at next station with the help of police .. I asked them all a single question, no one answers but shouted with bad words .. My question was where my money goes when I have waiting list ticket, why I can't claim a refund as like Internet tickets which automatically refunded for waiting lists ...! They say u can claim it before the train departure, my question is when I have no seats allocated when I have a valid counted ticket, why I can't claim it even after the journey .! Note : passenger with WL can't travel both in reserved and unreserved as per the rules !!

Hi, I booked 2 tickets for parents from Bangalore till Kochveli trivandrum. My father is 66 years old and mother is 60yrs old. To my surprise, IRCTC alloted side upper births for both of them. Two side berths as you can guess both can't sit together, they have to be in different sections. And how the hell they will climb up ? Such a basic requirement, senior citizens have to be allocated Lower or middle berths. Not sure what kind of algorithm the booking software is using to allocated side upper seats for senior citizens. When I booked the tickets there were many tickets available. And I konw from my past experience that if I go and book tatkal I will definitely get the lower berths. Ideally, the lower berth preference should be given to people who doing normal booking and not tatkal bookings. Even after so many years, the IRCTC has not learned this simple basic requirement. Here are the ticket details. The PNR number : [protected] Booking Status Current Status CNF/S5/64/SU CNF CNF/S5/72/SU CNF Mostly I will be cancelling it and booking tatkal tickets. I could not stop myself complaining this. Regards Vipin Mob : [protected]
