Already at the time of booking IRCTC has added the service charges then what for this deduction has been done ?Kindly take a appropriate action and return the deducted amount as soon as possible.

I m a regular customer of IRCTC. I frequently book tickets from the counter. But i dont understand why the rules are keep on changing whenever i go to book tickets. I always book tickets from CBD belapur station this time wen i went in the morning to buy tickets i had all the documents original pan card and Xerox as well i waited there for around 1 hour and when my turn came the booking clerk Named MR S M Sakhare said you have to book the ticket from counter no 2 Reason mentionaed was you are not self travelling . I really don't understand if i m waiting there for around 1 hour and then suddenly i will get to know this how would i react.. Is dis rule is applicable everywer or its just made for there convienence..how does it matter if i m taking the tickets from counter no 1 or 2???? And if the rule is applicable y is it not mentioned on the IRCTC website or at the counter itself.

Dear Sir/Madam, i was traveling in Train CHETAK EXPRESS (Train no. 12982) on 15/09/14 from Ajmer to Delhi Sarai Rohilla, when i booked my ticket it was WL/8, on journey date showed P1-RC, S-5, 47 and my name was appearing first in the RAC. When i requested to TTE to provide full seat if available, he did not provide that although he was providing others. Since my name was first in list and on priority basis i should have given the seat.

I have got confirmation SMS from HDFC Bank authorities regarding payment of Rs. 648/-. But on 06/08/2014 only one unit is received by speed post. On the very same day; I wrote to irctc regrading the inconvenience caused to me and they replied me with the following e-mail:- Subject:Re: -Shipment details of your order no.

Dear IR/IRCTC, The contractors of IRCTC ( Meals on Wheels ) demand not less that 200 rupess Bakshish (as what they call it) and keep on pestering and irritating the passengers for Money. In one such incident one of my co passenger was robbed of this purse containing money in the H1 compartment A cabin on the train that departed H Nizamuddin on 14-Sep-2014, Train No./Name: 22694 / BANGLORE RAJDHNI. The police complaint has been lodged and it is confirmed by the police to be the Handiwork of an IRCTC contractor ( Meals on Wheels ) who come in demand of Bakshish shamelessly. When refused to give the demanded money they resort to theft and robbery. Please do not spare these employed thieves. Regards Sandeep BN
