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

Ref: IMPS Ref. No.[protected]. I tried to book a train ticket on 16/10/2014, through 139 facility from my smart phone. The ticket fare amount of Rs. 2, 507.47 was debited in my ICICI bank account on 16/10/2014; 13.30.52 hrs. and credited to the a/c of 139 services. But, 139 booking was not successful, as it displayed as "we are unable to process your request, try again later". Can you please look into the matter and refund the above amount to my bank account. Thanking you, Yours Sincerely S SADAGOPAN

It is highly disappointing when i was booking ticket on 18/10/2014 morning at 10:00 am the website gets failed to deliver. The calender which shows date was unavailable for some time at 10:00 am. Because of that i could not book the ticket. I am working in a bank and frequently travels to my hometown. there are lot of agent who booked ticket despite that problem i dont know how they could manage. Being working in an organization you can not go to station for booking a ticket. My query is " Who is responsible for this?" Railway should seek the solution of this agent system which looted the customers on festivals for booking tickets. i booked a ticket 60 days before travelling at 8.25 am but got only waiting ticket 46 its not cleared till now.

Hi, Today dated 17/10/2014, i have ticket from mumbai to Tadipatri for the ticket in train chennai express that start from Dadar with WL 25 & 26. This ticket i suppose to travel with my family having small kid for the diwali festival. As per the rule the chart should get prepared before 3 hrs or In worst case before 2 hrs. I have since waiting from 3 hrs for the chart get prepared and if by chances tickets get confirm i will go and catch the train.But unfortunately the time gone and i become hopeless before one and half hour of train get started from dadar and i cancel the train ticket as it is tatkal ticKet. Why i cancel the ticket is to reach dadar railway station it takes more than 2 hrs from my home. Later i found that the chart Status updated in internet was at 7:15 that was before 1 hour 15 min.Then w will catch the train even my tickets get confirmed after chart prepared in heavy traffic of mumbai Why the authorities not taking precondition and follow the rules.Where i will give my complaint in indianrailways. The government sectors should get punished for such kind of irresponsible behavior.who will enquire about my complaint that why it was late updated in internet and chart was prepared very late. I dont know how many families face this problem today with this train updates.

I WISH TO DRAW THE ATTENTION OF MISNISTER FOR RAILWAYS, GOI AND OTHER SENIOPR EXECUTIVES TOWARDS THE FLEECING DONE BY INDIAN RAILWAY IN THE NAME OF SO CALLED PREMIER TRAIN. ON ACCOUNT OF SAD DEMISE OF MY MOTHER-IN LAW, ALONG WITH MY FAMILY HAD TO RUSH TO MY NATIVE PLACE IN BIHAR (MOTIHARI). I SEND MY WIFE BY AIR AS THERE WAS NO TICKET AVAILABLE ON 12/10/2014 AND TRIED TO GET TICKETS FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER. MY DAUGHTER SHIVANI SEARCHED RAILWAY WEBSITE ON 14/10/2014 AND SAW AVAILABILITY OF TICKETS IN SOME PREMIUR TRAINS FROM AHMEDABAD TO DELHI (SR) AND FROM NEW DELHI TO PUZAFFARPUR. BOTH TRAIN SHOWED ONE FULL TICKET IN THE RANGE OF RS. 2500/-. (TOTAL BEING 5223.72). I ALLOWED HER TO GET THE TICKETS BOOKED THROUGH MY DEBIT CARD OF SBI. FROM AHMEDABAD TO DELHI THE PRICE OF THE TICKETS ARE REASONABLE BUT AS SOON AS SHE CLICKED FOR FROM NEW DELHI TO MUZAFFARPUR THE AMOUNT WHICH WAS DEBITED FROM MY ACCOUNT WAS SIMPLY EXHORBITANT 14232.72 . IT MEANS ALMOCT RS. 9000/- HAS BEEN ROBBED BY THE IRCTC BOOKING ON LINE. NOW I APPEAL TO HON. MINISTER OF RAILWAY TO DIRECT THE RAILWAY TO REFUND THIS EXTRA AMOUNT AS I HAVE TO TRAVEL FORCIBLY DUE TO NON REFUND OF AMOUNT. I AM A MIDDLE CLASS PERSON AND CAN NOT AFFORD SUCH LOOTING OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY. MY TICKET/PNR NUMBERS ARE 1.[protected] POS 2002 & 2. [protected] POS 2002. IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN BY RAIL AUTHORITIES I MAY BE FORCED TO SUE THE INDIAN RAILWAY THROUGH CONSUMER GRIEVANCE FORMS. I ALSO WARN MY FELLOW INDIANS NOT TO FALL INTO THE TRAP OF THIS BANDIT ORAGNISATION.

I have booked a tatkal ticket having pnr no [protected] in train no 22849 on 14/10/2014 for 15/10/2014 in tatkal quota. Today when I checked the train running status in http://enquiry.indianrail.gov.in/ntes/ it was showing cancelled.The snapshot attached. Then for confirmation I called 139 also and they also confirmed about the cancellation of train . Then I cancelled the ticket from irctc.co.in . but their it shown refund amount zero where it should be full refund in case of a cancelled train. . I can't understand if the status is showing in http://enquiry.indianrail.gov.in/ntes/ which is a government of India website then how these irctc says like this.

I had booked an online ticket from Patna to Kolkata on 07/10/14, PNR No.[protected]. The trail got delayed by more than 3 hours. I chose not to travel. I filed TDR within 2 hours after delayed departure of train. Reason indicated 'Train late by more than 3 hours Passengers not travelled' But IRCTC repudiated the claim and did not refund any money. This is not logical. When Railways cannot maintain their own rules of being punctual for train arrival / departure -- they should not confiscate the entire hard earned money of consumers. Need attention by appropriate authorities for refund of the money Regards Navneet Gupta Cellphone -[protected]

I had booked a ticket online from Varnasi for PNR [protected], BSBB LTT special, 21-Feb-2014, Train departure time in 16:40 from Varnasi to Etarsi .

It shows Time stamp of 21-Feb, 17: 21 hrs with reference number provided as ekt[protected]. The online system did not allow to cancel as message came chart prepared. Even then railway has rejected my refund. The message from IRCTC "With Reference to your PNR No:[protected], we regret to inform you that refund is not admissible as informed by Railways through their letter no : DCR280214V67027 and the reason being : 'TKT not Surrendered/TDR not within 2/3/3 Hrs(CNF/RAC/WL) of actual departure of Train.'

As if getting a tatkal ticket is not enough, your dynamic pricing scheme is burning a hole in the pocket of consumers like us. A tatkal ticket for Rs 1500, now costs Rs 3300 under the new scheme. If one could afford that price one would have travelled by air adding a little extra. Further the amount of tatkal tickets available has also been halved as half the tickets are now sold under the premium scheme. Kindly agree on flat increase in premium slot, rather than dynamic pricing. It is proving too much for us to bear.

Nizamuddin to Trivendrum (Kelra) on 01.10.14 and transaction ID- [protected] but after proceed for payment transaction has got failed and amount Rs. 16418.72 has been deducted from my bank account.
