Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to bring to your notice the pathetic state of the toilets maintained in the Rock Fort Express (Train No. 16178). I travelled by this train from Srirangam to Tambaram on 23-OCT-2014 in B3 AC Coach. The toilets just at the entrance of the coach were wet all over, smelly and unclean. In fact, the Western toilet was leaking water from. I moved to the toilets in the adjacent coach through the vestibule. They were similarly in a miserable condition. As a passenger who has paid AC fare, I am very disappointed with your service. I request you to take necessary action not just to resolve this temporarily but also to have a permanent solution for the problem by having regular checks in place. I earnestly hope for an improved travel experience when I commute next time. Yours sincerely, Siva

On 08/10/2014 I was traveling by Train No.12311 from Howrah to Kalka (PNR No.-[protected]) and I asked to the vendor of pantry car for the meal & they are charging me Rs.100 for Veg. & Rs. 120 for non Veg. Meal. When I asked for the cash memo they refused to issue. Similarly when I was returning back to Sealdah from Delhi by Train No. 13120(PNR No.[protected]) the Railway Catering vendor charging Rs.80 for Veg. Meal & Rs.100 for non-Veg. Meal. It also shocked when I called at[protected] the telephone No. Given with the ticket confirmation massage) several time, but the call was received but no response was made from that side. About two years ago the similar complain lodge by me when I was traveling by Saraighat Express from Guahati to Howrah. Bit no action has been taken by the authority for the interest of the poor passengers. Hope, the authority will take the necessary action to stop this type of fraudulent practice to help the bonafide passengers.

On 24.10.14 I have tried to book Tatkal ticket for Train 12295 / Sangamitra Exp from Ongole to jabalpur. A sum of Rs.762.49. was deducted from my Sbi bank account for railway ticket that was not delivered against transaction ID no.[protected]. Requested that the amount may please be credited to my account as early as possible

Sir, i was tried to book 02 seats trough tatkal but on that time tatkal kota shows that 10 seats are available. But after booking it shows waiting list ck11 so that i was not taken the tatkal seat but my account has debited for approx rs 3500. The amount has not yet credited to my account which may comes in financial hardship to book another ticket. The policy of railway is not good as the amount of any ticket is deducted before confirm ticket. This type of intention from railway auth shows that the amount collected from users may be utilised to other sources for their undo benifit but the user comes under financial hardship this is unjustice. If ticket not confirmed or not taken by any user the amount of ticket should be returned back immediately to the user so that he can enable to book another train and not comes in trouble. We think that the govt is for our help or to resolve our problems not to increase troubles. Please resolve this issue immediately

Hi, Today I am travelling from Lucknow to Banda. When TC came to check ticket. I shown him the mobile ticket. After checking my ticket he just deleted my sms ticket. When I get back my mobile and saw that TC deleted my sms, then quickly I called him but he just ignored and went away. Next time when TC was passing near by my berth, I called him and tell about my concern that you deleted my mobile tkt sms. He was not accepting that he deleted ticket and he told don't worry nothing will happen. He also told that get mobile sms again. As of now I am travelling as a without ticket. I told him that when I will de board at Banda Junction then what is proof with me that I am having ticket. Because you deleted my mobile ticket sms. Here I am having two concern. 1st- TC deleted my sms but he is not even accepting this thing and blaming to me that I get deleted the sms. 2nd- He told that nothing will happen when you will de board. Kindly tell me is this he way to give direction? I am providing the below details so that your team can check that who was the person on duty at that time because I don't know even the name of that TC. PNR Number : [protected] Date : 22-Oct-2014 Train Number : 15009 Train Name : CHITRAKUT EXP From Station : LJN To Station : BNDA Berth: S1/43/UB I hope Indian railway will help to solve this concern and will update me as soon as possible. Hoping for the best and positive response from your team. Thanks & Regards, Suman Rajput [protected]

Station authority of Kolkata Station are not giving clear cause of cancellation of Train no. 13131 and further when i try to inquire with higher authority they said that please see the display and do not disturb us... Is this the rule? Who will be held responsible for my loss which will raise because of not attending my client tomorrow as per schedule..? Do Indian Railway will reimburse my loss? Please repond to that matter and analyse who should held responsible...

My pnr is [protected]. I am travelling today from raipur R to ahmedabad ADI. my complaint is against attendant of coach a1 that he did not issue me bed roll. After asking he issued after 1 hour of journey. Same time on asking only he gave me pillow cover and that to used one and dirty. I asked to change it and he changed it. When i asked about hand towel he told me that it is wet. After journey of 5 hts i.e. at nagpur, on reminding he gave me used one and dirty hand towel. Moreover, he has not issued any towel to other passengers. so my point is he should be prompt enough to issue items to passengers. And not used ones. Passengers are not paying for these treatments. If he do not want to work as he should, why railway kept him? I need an immediate action in this issue and request set an example to others.

Against the PNR No: [protected], I have filled a TDR on the journey date[protected]within 02 hrs. of chart prepared), as I have got the RAC seats in 3rd AC (TDR Reference no: ekt[protected]). I have completed my journey on another confirmed ticket of Slepper class. Ticket charges of the Third AC was Rs. 3210/- Till today the TDR hasn't been resolved (It is showing "Refund under process" and IRCTC ZONE : "Group General Manager-1/Eastern Zone (IRCTC) Kolkatta". Even several times I contact to IRCTC. Every time they are telling that it will be resolved by Railway, not IRCTC, so, they can't give me any information regarding the same. Almost 09 months have passed, no refund has come against PNR No: [protected], costs Rs 3210/- I have attached the screen shot of the same for your ready reference. I can provide if any more information is required against the same.

IRCTC has collected entire payment (to the tune of Rs6.5k) on booking that has been failed. This is truly appalling Customer Service. If IRCTC cannot handle simple website functions, then it should simply close down its website and do offline bookings, but accepting payments for Failed Bookings is completely unacceptable. It is Illegal, unprofessional and completely unethical. It is not expected from Government organizations, but at the same time, I cant say that I am surprised considering most of Indian government functions are handled by incompetent fools. Additionally, their helplines are so inefficient - It is impossible to connect to it. I can also assume that IRCTC will take no less than 30 days to process any repayment. Absolutely garbage services.
