Sir, due to non submission of TDR within stipulated time, IRCTC is not paying the amount paid by me for booking ticket from Howrah to Dhanbad. Sir, actually train was cancelled and hence I could not travel on that train. what fault in my part for cancellation of train. Due to cancellation of train I was faced lot of difficulties. Then why not Railway be fined. Instead of non-submission of TDR in time IRCTC denied to return money to me.. Moreover, it is to state that Railway staff on duty at Howrah Station enquiry counter told me that in case of e-ticket the money will be returned to payees account. As such, penalizing me is not justified from the part of IRCTC/Railway. I request you sir, to instruct the concerned to return me amount paid by me for booking ticket and advise Railway / IRCTC to be more customer friendly. Thanking you Achintya Bera

Where i have applied for the refund on the next day, but IRCTC officer has made CR Repudiate without checking the facts, these officers careless approach is defaming the IRCTC. Please look into the matter and get my refund processed.

          We had confirmed Sleeper tickets from AGRA to Hyderabad in AP express on 23 Dec 2014. But train has been delayed by 24 hours late. I cancelled my travel plan and filed TDR. TDR has been refunded on 30 dec but refunded amount is less ( only 50% of actual amount). Ideally it should be 100% amount refund. PNR Details: [protected] [protected] Please help in sorting out this issue.

                          Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          This is regarding my experience regarding tatkal ticket booking through irctc.co.in. It seems the site is intentionally down during the initial 10-15 min after 10:00 AM. I have tried continuously for last 1 week and got the same message, "Error: unable to reach the site". I asked my different friends to try and all were with different Internet connection and were getting the message. After the 15 min means after 10:15 AM the site runs perfectly. If you are not able to manage the load then you should try to resolve it immediately.
                          Form last one week while i am trying to book Tatakal ticket at sharp 10 AM, I am getting error" This service is not reachabe please try after some time" which is spoiling the summer vacation.
                          Let me know when this error or will be resoled. I am going to file RTI gainst this major issue.
                          Expecting the resolution as soon as possible..

                              Address: Dibrugarh, Assam

                              I am Mr Banajit Deka. I booked a flight ticket from Dibrugarh city to Mumbai, on 5th January. At the time of booking while I proceed for payment of the ticket, it showed that "oops connection failure, book another flight". As the total amount Rs. 26, 553 was already deducted form my account. So wrote a mail to IRCTC to refund my full amount, as the ticket was not booked by that time. And I booked the flight ticket by using another agent and I paid them also. But after 3-4 hours when I checked for any reply from IRCTC through email, I got e-ticket from IRCTC for Dibrugarh to Mumbai journey. They ignored my intimation mail and booked the flight ticket. Ultimately I requested for cancellation of the IRCTC e-ticket. On 7th january I got refund of only Rs 16, 103 instead of Rs. 26, 553. I am surprised how IRCTC can deduct Rs 10, 450 as for cancellation charge for cancelling one round trip ticket. The details of the ticket given below Sr.No. Name Type Age Ticket No Cancel Ref. No. Refund Amt Status 1 Mr BANAJIT DEKA Adult [protected] [protected] In Process Can/Mod I demand full refund of the ticket amount, as the mistake was done by IRCTC. Do I need to wait for 3-4 for receiving one flight ticket, that too in uncertainty situation. What is the meaning of "oops connection failure, book another flight".

                                Sir, This is to report that the IRCTC is not providing the full menu with Tea in trains. In that where as Rs10 are being charged from the passengers for a cup of tea but the biscuits are invariably not provided which is part of the menu. Also the quantity of tea is 75% full. I travelled on 26th Dec by AC 3tier in Alla Hazrat-Bhuj Express and returned on 02Jan15. It is requested that vigilance check on tea bearers is carried out and the services are improved. col alok goel [protected]

                                  Unable to book premium tatkal

                                  Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

                                  Hi Sir, I was unable to book premium tatkal tickets this morning, as it always shows not available. I booked a premium ticket comfortably last month. I checked for multiple trains, but everywhere it shows not available. May I know the reason why there are no tickets available on premium tatkal and that on such a festival season like Sankranti? It is really urgent. It would be great if you can get it resoved ASAP so that I can book...

                                  I've tried to book tatkal ticket from Pune to Ahmedabad thorough IRCTC website in Ajmer express on[protected] at 9:50 AM. The train 16210/Ajmer express starts from Mysore on 8-01 and arrival to Pune on 9-01. When I've checked for tatkal ticket on 7-01 at 9:50 (before 1 day at 10 AM of actual departure), the tatkal status was "REGREAT/CKWL1#" which is not possible because as per government rule tatkal reservation is open before 1 day at 10 AM. Could you someone please let me explain how is it possible when before 1 day at 10 AM (before 1 day at 10 AM of actual departure) tatkal status was "REGREAT/CKWL1#"?

                                    Hi, I had filled a TDR for 2 tickets(PNR no: [protected] and [protected]). The reason for filing TDR was "Train Late More Than Three Hours and Passenger Not Travelled". I had filled the TDR well before the train actual departure from the boarding station(Train departed more than 12 hrs late from the source station itself). I got the refund but only 50% which is not as per the refund rules. I should have been refunded the 100% amount. Please refund the full amount. Thanks, Vishal Agarwal
