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

Dear Sir,

This is to inform you that I was trying to book a ticket on sunday(31.05.2015) but instead of 31.05.2015 by mistake i chose (sunday) 07.06.2015 as date of journey and booked a premium ticket as it was an urgency to travel.But after booking when i took a print out i noticed that by mistake i have booked a wrong travel date and now i want to cancel this ticket with PNR number [protected] but irctc is not allowing with message premium ticket booked with dynamic fares cannot be cancelled.I have send 9 mails to [protected]@irctc.co.in but every time their retuen mail says Premium special train is introduced from Railway on the busy sector with dynamic fare pricing. Cancellation is not allowed in this train thus no Refund shall be granted. However, full refund shall be admissible only if the train is fully cancelled.

Kindly advice me how i can get my refund as already i paid double amount for booking and i m lossing Rs 2582.47/- if this ticket will not be cancelled

Regards

yesterday (28.-5.2015) I got an sms from IRCTC about cancellation of today's (29.05.2015) train no. 12260 and it also stated cancel your PNR to get the refund. I tried to check online, but network failure was shown. I cancelled my ticket and shocked to find that rs. 1030 is cut from total amount of rs 4070. I continuously tried IRCTC customer care and at last executive replied me very casually that the sms has been sent by mistake. he did not promise full refund. I request him to cancel my last cancellation. he told me that not at all possible and blamed me for not checking the train status. thus IRCTC just transfer their fault to innocent consumer, who believe them. It is their duty to arrange altrernative for the suffered people. it is now impossible to buy arrange another ticket in this rush hour. flight ticket also very costly. and for their wrong doings why we will pay cancellation charge. we did not have any intention to cancel our journey. now when i am seeing my train is just at time, what will be my metntal suffering. IRCTC MUST REFUND FULLY WITH COMPENSATION. I am not only singled one out. there are so many customers of different train, who are duped by IRCTC by cancelling their train tickets beleivivg IRCTC and now finding that their trains running on time. It is an intentional act of money making rackets. IRCTC SHOULD BE punished for it

I have booked a ticket on dated 28th May 2015 for the next day train in O Sampar Kranti, Train No. 12820. Around 8:25pm on 28th May, I got a message that the train has been cancelled. The next day when I checked the running status its showing that the train is in right time.

booked a ticket 1 month ago in train number 12431 on 30.03.2015. Yesterday around 8pm I received a message from IRCTC that the my train has been cancelled and so I should cancel my ticket. After cancelling the ticket when an amount of Rs.70 was deducted I called the IRCTC helpline. And after that they just casually said that because of a mistake the message was sent and the train hasn't been cancelled. It was really shocking for me to hear...

Hello Sir/Madam, I would like to share my experience with online booking for tatkal tickets on IRCTC portal. Whenever I try to book ticket online around 10-10:20 am gives me error "Service To This Site Is Temporarily Suspended " and "Service unavailable". Then I asked my friends and family to check and they have experienced the same. And it comes to normal once all tickets have booked. (We observed this trend for 2 months) Why does this happen every time?

Hi, I am R Srinivas working as a Software Engineer in one of the Top most MNC. wants to complaint about the irctc website as i am a frequent traveller and i use the mode as irctc to book the tickets but every time when i try to use the tatkal facility i feel really bad that i was not able to book the ticket. though i am using a high speed internet and a high end machine along with that i will sit half an hour before the booking . but i will end with end with then following things : i.) Service to this site is temporarily suspended ii) or it will reach up the gateway and the it will show the timeout message these things really annoys me any one. because we are spending lot of time for this process and ends with a dissatisfactory output. so i urge to do something in this regard. regards R Srinivas

IRCTC Tatkal Booking Error "This site is currently unreachable. Please try after some time" Everyday you get this error. If you are not capable of doing a job even for years. Then yu are not fit for it. Give it to better people and you take up some dump jobs which yu are capable of.

I travelled with my son ( 2 passengers) from VSKP to SC in Train No.12727 on 14.05.15 with PNR No. [protected] by paying Rs.1, 010/-. When I requested TC in MMTS train for extension of journey from SC to SKP by showing my already performed journey ticket, he charged Rs.520/- for 2 members and issued me an EXCESS FARE TICKET No. V 0208009. It appears, the TC in MMTS train charged Extra.. It is requested to kindly clarify me whether the fare charged by TC is appropriate or not. I have made a complaint vide Ref No.W/EO/WAT/[protected] dt. 21 May 15. When I tried to track the STATUS, it is showing "NO COMPLAINT FOUND".

I booked a ticket in train number 12260 dated[protected] on 02.04.2015. my pnr status [protected]. Yesterday (28.05.2015)around 8pm I received a message from IRCTC on my vodafone no. [protected] that the train has been cancelled and so I should cancel my ticket. After cancelling my confirmed ticket I shocked to find that an amount of Rs.1030 was deducted. I called the IRCTC helpline. And after that they just casually said that because of a mistake the message was sent and the train hasn't been cancelled. It was really shocking for me to hear that as it is very urgent for me to reach home as so I had preplanned this journey 2 months ago. I am really feeling helpless at this time because of no positive response from IRCTC. The customer care executive told me I should check before cancelling the ticket if it was so urgent. I replied that I tried several times but network failure was shown. He just told me as I have cancelled the ticket, nothing can be done. he did not promise total refund of Rs. 4070 instead of Rs. 3040. I want my ticket so that I can go home. If they are failed to revive my PNR No. [protected] for today's ( 29.05.2015) journey, they must give compensation along with full refund as for their faulty sms, I am suffering. Now it will be very costly to book another ticket for new Delhi to Kolkata journey. the cancelled ticket is attached herewith.
