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

I was trying to book a tatkal ticket on 31st August for 1st September from Tirupati to hyderabad. The timing showed Sabari express which would arrive tirupati at 00.35 am which showed up in the list of trains. I thought it was the ticket for 1st September since anytime after 12 midnight would be considered as date change. I went ahead and booked the ticket and when I received the date of journey as 2nd September. It was very confusing and how can 2nd september tatkal tickets were sold on 31st august. I had to lose the money and rebook another ticket. This is very dissappointing and made me unhappy with the services. Regards, Sri Lakshmi

Unfurtanutally I have cancelled the ticket detail i.e. Transaction ID-[protected], PNR No-[protected], Train No & Name-14554/HIMACHAL EXPRESS, Date of Booking-29th Aug 2014, Date of Journey-30th Aug 2014 from NDLM to DLI but did not get any refund to my account after cancellation if there was 0 refund the ticket should not have cencelled and it should have warned for zero refund before cancellation. So I sincerely request the irctc authority to do some changes in the design of the software to protect the innocent and poor people to loose any money by mistake. Its a govt org and should heplful to the people of the country should not cheat the innocent people anyway. Regards Prabhu Prasad Pradhan

For PNR : [protected], Dt.:[protected]travelled date) for Visakha Express (Tr.No.: 17016) the confirmed Bearths have been allotted as "S5-68 and SE1-35" for a couple. The coach positions are 11 and 22. The same arrangement have been issued to number of families for to-days journey. My complaint with the above is (a) How a couple with such allotment can occupy the Bearths with coaches located at 11th position and 22nd position at morning early hours of 00.02 departure from Gudivada station, where the halt time is 1 minute, and both people how to display the ticket with ID proofs at a time occupying in farth distant coaches. (b)There is no special coach display (i.e SE1 coach) and marking on the train compartment at mid-night, how people can occupy the Bearth. None of the on-duty Ticket collector able to help at the mid-night, and there is embarrassing atmosphere for all families who have faced the situation of such long train Expresses. None of the families could utilize the allotments and for-go the Bearth reservation, and almost all such special coach Bearths have been sold to general ticket (unreserved) holding passengers. (c)We deeply regret the Railways Un-ethical up-gradation of such wait listed passenger tickets of families, and expect justice, and necessary corrective action immediately. Await Good and effective corrective action on top most priority, with a confirmation to below mail ID.: "[protected]@rediffmail.com ", Mobile: [protected] Best regards S. Vijay

Dated 30/08/2014, Train no 12666, southern railway, parcel way bill, from madurai to bhubaneswar, receipt no 137845 carrying a live hen was not delivered at the bhubaneswar railway station. That is a very costly hen bought for breeding purpose .The cost of that hen is 40, 000 INR. Due to negligence of railway staffs, I am suffering from heavy loss. Kindly locate my parcel as soon as possible else that hen will die inside the parcel if not delivered within 24 hours.

I travelled by Allahabad Duranto no 12293 on 25th August from LTT to Allahabad with ticket PNR no[protected] in 3 AC.The food served for dinner was of very poor quality and not palatable at all, especially the stale Panner Curry.When enquiresd, the staff informed that the Pentry Car does not have hot case.This is absolutely ridiculous and ill- treatment to the passengers.You are requested to look into the matter very seriously in order to improve services.

Hi, I have booked a tatkal ticket from Vskp to Sec on 30th for 31st Date of Journey, when i am booking the ticket the page navigated to Confirmation page where i could find the berth details and Coach Number, hoping that the ticket has booked i logged out from my account. After few hrs as i didnt reciece any msg to my mobile i checked the Booking history page and to my surprise i could find the ticket in booked history and found in the failed transactions history with Transaction ID [protected] .So i checked my bank statement and couldnt find any transaction to IRCTC. But i am pretty much sure that the page navigated to Confirmation page while booking. I hope there is a glitch or problem with the server. Please check from your side so that no other will be facing a similar problem in the future and make a hazardous travel like us.

Dear Team, I raised one cancellation for ticket dated :- 29-july-2014 and i raised TDR on the same day as Train was running late by 3 hrs but after one month i received a reply saying that passenger is travelled.. i don't know whether it's a verified update or due to high aging of this TDR they simply mentioned this verbose and close the case.i am continuously following up with customer care dept of IRCTC but they are telling that they don't have details related to that only indian railway will take care and after 1 month i completely understand about care. if any one is there who can help me regarding the cross check of this tdr status then i will be highly greatful for that.

I can think this as the most stupid and irritating error that a web developer or ad poster can do. Please see the photo attached and you get to know what is the problem. The ad window comes in between and blocks the time/date selection!!! Unfortunately the time/date cannot be edited !!! it can only be selected from the drop down Calender !!

I had file an TDR, details are below, PNR No : [protected] Date of Journey : 29-Jun-2014 Reason for TDR : After Charting no room provided. Cancellation ID : [protected] Registration no : DNR050714W05419 Yesterday TDR status changes to TDR Repudiate. And no reason was given for repudiate. My concern is, when i had not given seat, so why they are charging for the same. They should refund the money. Request you to please look into issue, as it is a serious concern. Thanks, Akhlesh gupta

I had booked my ticket on 12 July 2014 for the journey on 19 July 2014 from Jodhpur to Ahemdabad for giving the competition exam of SBI clerk was held on 20 July 2014 at 1:00pm in Indus University. I still have a call letter of that exam. But when I reached railway station and wanted to go to my reserved seat, I shocked there is no seat which I reserved by IRCTC.My seat was allocated to someone else that person get reservation on that morning and I reserved that seat 7 day before than also that seat is allocated to someone else.I and my husband was totally sad and could not understand that what should be done next for this problem. Then I go to inquiry room and explained my problem in front of railway staff(clerk). But they also not give me a answer which satisfy me. They only told me that the ticket is cancelled by you. But that was so not true. I told about the proof but they don`t have any proof of cancellation of ticket.They also told me that this can't be happen and this is the case of this type they ever never faced Also my money is not refund to me. When I talk to TTC they told me that your ticket is stolen by cyber thief before data reach to the server that is why no body have a record I have all the proof of that reservation. Then I drop from the station. I went with my own vechicle which charged high I was in hurry and also don`t have any option except to hire that vechicle. I gave you a notice in form of this complaint and you have to sort out my problem.You have to give my whole travelling charge (including claim money)otherwise, I knock the door of consumer court against IRCTC.
