    I am a regular passenger and i always book trains from irctc.co.in but it is highly frustrating when you do not let customer book train through your portal showing your service "TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE TO THIS SITE" at the time of tatkal booking . Why is it that a normal person cannot book a train but due to this error advantage is for the booking agents and your department who takes bribe from such agents make normal people suffer . Either you provide me a compensation for this, i have the proof of my failure transaction or i am going to put forth this on every social media network and it will be judged by Mr. Arvind Kejriwal .

    Details : Train from NDLS to LJN, Train No./ Name: 12004/LJN SWRAN SHTBD

        I tried to book the ticket of Shri BK Thapar from Moradabad to Chandigarh in RMR-CDG express (Train No. 15031) through irctc online site for Feb.16, 2015. I filled all the details but the ticket was not booked. however, Rs 322.47 were deducted from my SBI Account.On the IRCTC screen the message was displayed " Rejected from Bank{ Transaction Id: [protected]} You can choose another payment option and try again" Therefore, i again filled all the details with another SBI account but again ticket was not booked. However Rs 322.47 was again deducted from my SBI account. This time also a message appeared on IRCTC screen " Rejected from bank { Transaction No. [protected]} You can chhose another payment mode and try again. Thus there are two times when ticket was not booked but each time money was deducted from my SBI accounts.
        You are requested to look into the matter and refund Rs. 644.94 back into my respective SBI accounts at the earliest.
        Thanks

                              I have done an online transaction to purchase an e-ticket. After the payment was made through SBI Debit card no. 622xxxxxxxxxxxxx842 for a purchase worth Rs. 1211 on the amount Rs. 1211 got debited from my SBI account. I also got an sms citing the transaction particulars. Unfortunately, neither my tickets has been generated nor my IRCTC account shows any such transaction. Sir please refund me my balance immediately. or generated my tickets. Also, while booking through Net banking, SBI online banking site is not being directed to. This creates a huge problem while booking tickets during TATKAL booking. Pls resolve this grave issue at the earliest

                                    Dear Sir, Today while I was travelling in TRAIN number 17015 (VISAKHA EXPRESS) coach no.S12 from Bhubaneswar to Chatrapur, I have seen the coach was not cleaned. I have taken some photos of that coach. I do not know what amount of money is spent for cleaning of these coaches, but surely I want know what action taken against the staff for this gross irresponsibility. Thanking you. Your"s Sincerely BHASHYAM MURALIDHAR

                                    I'm travelling today i.e 19.04.2015 by train 19804 from Jammu Tawi. The AC compartment toilets were not cleaned at all from inside & has been brought to the station as it is. Its smelling so badly that I had to call somebody to get it cleaned. One of the patch on the wooden toilet door is also faulty & ripped off. Wonder what's happening at the yard before the coach is released for travel.

                                    Really bad !!!

                                        Hi, I had cancelled my ticket against PNR number [protected] for train number 12616 at 22.26 hrs on 17th January 2015. The train was running late by more than 7 hours whereas the scheduled departure was 23.25 hrs on 17th January. As per the railway cancellation rules, "Full refund is permissible if refund is obtained/online TDR filed before actual departure of the train if train in running more than 3 hours late". I filed the online TDR on 17th January at 22.26 hrs (attaching IRCTC snap shot) when the scheduled departure of the train was at 23.25 hours and actual departure was around 7 am the next day 18th January. I have received an email that I have been refunded Rs.515 whereas I am entitled to refund of the entire payment of Rs.1035. I request the refund of the remaining Rs.520. Thank you. Regards, Arivazhagan GD [protected]
