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

Hi People, I am Jerald from Pune. I booked a ticket for me and my wife on Sep 10 through IRCTC and the waiting list was 1 and 2. So I thought that it would easily clear as we have 2 mnths to travel. But at the exact travel date I checked my status of the ticket and it still said waiting list 1 & 2. I don't think so not even one cancellation would have occurred as I saw the train simply had some seats which were not occupied. Also they said that if ONLINE TICKET has a Waiting list, then we are not supposed to board the train. If this is the case, WHY ARE YOU LETTING CUSTOMERS BOOK TICKET ONLINE ONCE THE QUOTA IS OVER? Unneccesarily we booked the WL ticket and we cant board the train? Then why is the system accepting those tickets to be booked. The system can simply say that "Booking have gone to waiting list, so booking closed" And we are asked to leave the train because this WL ticket is not valid. Then what about money which spent? They said they will refund, I said we book tickets to travel, not to get refund. So allow even WL Online tickets to board the train. These Internet users spend more money than the guy standing at the counter to get the tickets. Thanks

Further to this mail below, now i am not be able to file TDR what will be a next step to get my money back You don’t have any records where it is showing my funds are credited in your account and you have not reimbursed the same to me after so many months. It is our fault that we trust you and assumed that we will get our money back after 3 months and now we get the reply that 'Failed to collect TDR/TTE Certificate/GC’. It is very irritating that you don’t have courtersey to give solution on your own to reimbursed the amount. May be reimbursement is a regular process for you but If we will follow up then we will not get any response from your end This is last mail after this will be forced to forward this to higher authorities or consumer court Regards, Sanika More Contact No :- [protected] / [protected]

Today morning i.e. 8th Nov 2014, i had logged to my irctc id name leoshowrin at 1000 am sharp for booking a tatkal ticket. just after entering the passenger details and completing the captcha details and entering next the message came as you have completed using your booking id 2 times hence no trasaction can be made on same ip address. The question here is when i did not complete a single transaction how can my id be blocked. What is this facility of tatkal? it has become a pain. No layman can take a tatkal ticket from his house. Either the site is blocked for 40 mins or such things happen. It seems that the government is giving this facility to the agents and not to the common people. What is use of this tatkal when a common man cannot take out tickets during emergency. looking for positive reply. I am also sending this matter to the Hon'ble Railway Minister Shri Sadanand Gowdaji & even to the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji.

I have booked a ticket in IRCTC to travel on 16-10-14 by MAS-HWH Premium for travel from Chennai to Bhubaneshwar. But the train was cancelled at the last citing train did not come from Howrah because of Hudhud cyclone. At Chennai all the passengers were told that the refund will come automatically from IRCTC and we do not have to do anything as the train is cancelled by Railway. After one week when I did not receive the money back, I emailed customer care and got a response that I should have cancelled the ticked within 72 hours of journey. Since the date is already over, they can't do anything. This was never told when I was taking to IRCRC customer care in Chennai. Later I got an email that I should do TDR for refund. That also did not work. The question is when the train did not run, IRCTC need to return the money to the customers automatically. The details of the ticket are as below PNR No: [protected], Date of Journey: 18/10/2014, Train No/Name: 02842/MAS HWH Premium Class of Travel 3A. I have attached copy of the transaction.
