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

sir. I have cancelled the e ticket of PNR NO, [protected] on 02 December 14 at 10:29hrs. the e ticket was for the train on 23Jan 15. I havent recieved my refund amount yet and its 26 th hour after the cancellation. On the refund status they are showing that the refund is approved but the refund date column is left blank. I feel some technical error has occurred. So I request you to make arrangements to refund my amount of Rs.2950 as soon as possible. It frightens me when I see online complaints of people sayin that they havent recieved the money since 9 months.. Pls help me. My Cancellation/Refund id is [protected]. Im attaching the screenshot of my refund status approval which shows refund date nill and email copy of cancelled ticket

HI, This is regarding the closed TDR for PNR - ‘[protected]’ and transaction ID – ‘[protected]’ I have booked two tickets from MADGOAN to MUMBAI – PNR TRAIN FROM TO DATE TIME BOOKED TDR DATE & TIME [protected] 12202 MADGOAN PANVEL 10-Nov-14 1:20 AM 29-Oct-14 09-Nov-2014 10:19:47 HRS [protected] 10104 MADGOAN THANE 9-Nov-14 9:15 AM 6-Nov-14 And I have travelled by train No. 10104 with PNR no. [protected]. It is impossible for anyone to travel in the same day with two different trains. I am not sure why it is telling – “Reason for Repudiate TDR: As per chart, passenger has travelled “. There is something wrong and I would like to reinvest on this matter. I request to you please reopen my close TDR, PNR No – ‘[protected]’ and transaction ID – ‘[protected]’.

I have sent email requested to IRCTC customer care to cancel tickets of all passengers(three) with PNR [protected] and modification of TDR filed online. We (all passengers) could not travel due to two waitlisted and one RAC tickets in Yesvantpur Howrah Duranto express(12246)confirmed after chart preparation. I have wrongly filed TDR for one RAC passenger online thinking that my other Waitlist ticket will be cancelled automatically(waitlist e-ticket rule after chart preparation).But, it is the issue of partly RAC/partly waitlist e-ticket when contacted IRCTC helpline number immediately after TDR filing online. I have sent email immediately as per instruction from IRCTC helpline number to customer care([protected]@irctc.co.in) about TDR modification(cancellation of tickets for all passengers with PNR [protected]). i have sent this email request regarding ticket cancellation of all passengers and TDR modification more than three hours before schedule departure of train as per indian railway refund rule.I have also received acknowledgement from IRCTC customer care within one hour. I didn't receive refund of all passengers with PNR [protected] even after several email request to IRCTC customer care, IRCTC TDR process, railway minister and railway officials. IRCTC TDR process has first delayed my refund for more than five months and then partially refunded(refund for only one passenger) after my several email request.

I am Jayshree Desai. On 28th November, 2014 I boarded train no. 12293 from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus from Mumbai to Allahabad. Travelling with me was a group of 18 other women. Since the time we sat to this morning while I lodge this complaint, the toilet facilities in our compartment are not working. Reason given- water is not there. We approached the TC - G.K. Pandey who kept telling us it will get done soon. We are all in our mid fifties. This kind of inconvenience is impossible for us to bear. This morning finally when we the entire compartment approached the mechanic and the TC they just laughed it off saying we are not responsible. How can a passenger travel for that many hours without using the basic service that we pay for and are entitled to?

To administrative officer, sir, i want to state that comessum situated on plaform no 1 in old delhi station is charging more than maximum retail price.i order for veg nawabi briyani .it was written on price board 68.00 rs, but they took 74.00 rs and tax extra.all total i paid 85.00 rs .i have copy cash bill. 2nd thing food was foul in smell.worst ever food i took in any railway station.when i told about food .manager told its take away outlet so we are serving such type of food.i was surprised and felt cheated from both side. i m writing a leter to ministry of railway about this corruption. truely speaking i was feeling helpless about it when manager gave me lame exuse. i m also posting on social media, so that every individual should know abut corruption in irctc.

Hi I have filed a TDR Registration No: CNR211014W43443 against PNR [protected] on 15th October, 2014. The reason for filing TDR was "Passenger Not Travelled Due To Ticket In RAC After Chart Preparation". After more than a month the IRCTC has Repudiate TDR and mentioned reason "As per chart, passenger has travelled". IT IS A COMPLETE NONSENSE. If IRCTC agent is bit educated then I'd request to please have a look on my Booking details. I have booked next ticket for 19th October (PNR [protected]), train number-12409 and returned back by that train. So how its possible to travel on 15th October as the status updated by TTE was completely incorrect. The TTE must have sold that RAC seat and updated chart for my ticket. The worst part is there is no any dedicated line on customer support for such disputes. TDR Zone: NORTHERN RAILWAY (NR) Arish khan ([protected])

at 04:58 hrs a flight ticket was booked for del-bom on ai663/25nov (std0800 ) but surprisingly the final print of the ticket comes out to be of ai863/25nov 1800 dep and 2010 arrival at Bombay. when trying to cancel the ticket unfortunately the irctc site says system under maintenance since 2345hrs from 24th nov14 till 25th nov14 upto 0530hrs. Here my wrong ticket was issues with a deduction of Rs8822.00 plus due to emergency i have to contact AI customer care where they fined me 1580 rupees to change the time. Not to forget all my tiredless follow ups with the customer care team and a hurry to the Igi airport to pay the fee on the given time. also wondering how a ticket could get generate when there was a maintenance from 2345 to 0530.
