IRCTC managed railway canteens

Abhishek Gupta April 18, 2011


Charge more than MRP
I was on my journey towards Azamgarh from Kalyan by Godan Express on 16-Dec-09.
During my journey i found that some of the railway canteen managed by IRCTC charged more than MRP.
Example: on Bhusalwal Railway station i bought one Amul Kool milkshake whose MRP is 12/-Rs(Inclusive all Tax) but the canteen man ask for 15/- Rs.

railway canteen — charging more than MRP

Dear Sir(s),

While travelling from Varanasi to Mumbai I found that many vendors were charging 15 Rs. for 10 Rs. Parle-G biscuits on Itarasi Rly. Station. when I asked about the unfair price vendors threatened to beat me. we must find out that is it same about other brands also? Is this exsist on all the stalls and other Railway Stations also. The vendors had clearly mentioned that biscuits are sold on mrp. vendors have nescafe stalls with IRCTC logo printed boards.
I hope cosumer forum and Railway will take some solid action on this unfair practice.
Kindly reply with the status of my complain as it is with a serious nature.

Again faced the same thing on same day at Atarsi Railway station.

Canteenman was ready to fight but not ready to charge as per MRP...Amazing...........
Hi,

I have faced the same problem number of times at Pune Railway Station, where on purchase of any packed product costs atleast 20% extra.

Buscuits with MRP 7 are sold at 10, with MRP 12 are sold at 15.

On asking that MRP is less, the answer comes is " Lena hai toh Lo, warna Jao" ( English Translation - " If you want to take then take, otherwise Leave").
Hi,

My complaint is regarding the food cooked and served in the railway canteen.I was travelling from Chennai to Bangalore on[protected].I ordered for a masala dosa for which I was charged Rs.40( I think with this amount you could have a south indian thali at reputed restaurants), inspite of paying such a huge amount the quality of food was so worse that I couldn't eat more than half of it.Since the dosa was so worse I was not satisfied with it and had to throw it so I decided to have a cup of tea .For my surprise the tea was just a combination of hot water and sugar nothing more than that and a rotten smell added to it.Please tell me who is the higher authority or any direct website which could take immediate action on the food and the price quoted in the train.My concern is not about me alone but think about the senior citizens who intake such food, this could cause an adverse effect on their health.
11065 se safar kar raha hu cayeen wala pane botel 20 kurkure 20 ka har saman me jayada paise le raha hai mera pnr no [protected] hai
This happened in Chennai Central. The railway catering are charging 40 rupees for 4 idly which actually cost 24rupees. Kindly take some necessary action regarding the same.
Travelling from Lucknow to Newdelhi right now train number 02003, standard rate of tea and coffee 10 rs issued by irctc being sell at 25 rupees plus the disposable cup is not being filled completely, what is the meaning of this water bottle Mrp 15 is being sold at 20 rupees whether its chilled or normal
Does people working in railways has no shame?
TC of the train is seeing all this and saying nothing that means he's also getting his share for such hideous work?
Shame on Irctc and these people.

    The Lichhavi Express from Varanasi to Allahabad runs pathetically late every day. On my last visit I waited at the railway station with my old parents at Varanasi Railway Station for 2 hours. The station disnt have adequate infrastructure like inadequate seats for pessengers to sit while waiting, a dark and dingy waiting room, no drinking water availabile at station, no notice board informing abt the platform number etc, and inadeqaute/ untimely announcements by the railways station administration abt the train delay. Additionally, the cost to use the toilet on the platform station is Rs.5, unlike Rs.2 which is standard across all others. It is pathetic to see this kind of condition of India's historic city where so many foreigners are also traveling.
    On my way back from Allahabad to Delhi, again the Mahabodhi express (on 12th April, 2011) was late at the railway station by 1.5 hours. The information on the notice boards at the station stated platform no.1 for the train to arrive, but when the train came, the announcement was made for a different platform- no.3. I ran alongwith my old parents (>age of 60 years) who carried luggage in their hands and running to catch the train at the same time. Unfortunately when the platform changes so suddenly, we just managed to get inside the train (after all the running to be able to catch the train) when the train departed from the station. Ideally, the train should have waited some extra time to allow people to move from 1 platform to another, due to such a sudden change- which was only announced but not reflected on the notice boards of the station. I did struggle with my parents to catch the train, but I am sure there would have been more people who would have missed the train due to this unorganised way of behavior. Despite this, the train arrived Delhi 4 hours later than the scheduled arrival on 13th April. It is a highly unplanned way of working of Indian Railways!!!
    Seems like the Administration doesnt cares for TIME of people of INDIA.

      Today I had purchased one e Ticket by Satabdi Express (12019) from Howrah to Durgapur on the 20th instant for my senior Mr. P K Chakrovorty & myself. I had purchased the ticket with my Citi Bank Credit Card. On completion of the transaction (Total value Rs.600/-) the screen informed me that my transaction was void as the Banker had refused to OK my payment.
      I phoned up Citi Bank customer care & they informed me that my transaction has been passes & Rs.600.00 has been debited to IRCT name. My transaction approval code with Citi Bank, as informred by them is 070306.
      As I am going to now buy the ticket over the counter, I would request IRCTC not to debit my Account with Citi Bank Credit Card.
      Finally from 2.40 pm I had been trying to dial 139 (option 5) to get hold of railway customer care. Now it is 4.00 pm & no customer service representitive picked up the phone even once. Hence my complain to you.

          This is to bring to your notice the issues i faced with IRCTC site. I just made a booking for a ticket and although it was very slow i could reach till payment screen. However, after i entered the payment details and clicked submit, it did not complete the txn. This is very disappointing. This has happened couple of times today and i just gave up now.

          I have noticed that the website speed issue has been continuing for a long time now as well, for couple of years. It is extremely frustrating to book a ticket through IRCTC. What is IRCTC or Ministry of Railways doing to improve this website performance? This is just RIDICULOUS, waiting for 1 hour to book a single ticket!!!

          Yes this is absolutely right. Something needs to be done on this regard.
          please close totally eticket booking through www.irctc.co.in because this is full cheating to people.their server capacity is very low means nobody can book ticket at 8AM so please close this wbsite totally or increase the server capacity like GOOGLE.
          of course i agree that this site will be used by hundreds of people at the same time. but what to do..? the server should be maintained properly.. What a poor maintanence...i[censored] cant maintain this site, jus leave it. don have the website for name sake without any use. people who are using this site will get BP naturally.
          that too ticket bookin intatkal is the most torturous job in the world.. jus stop dis useless service of online ticket booking

          IRCTC — very poor services

          sir
          i am using irctc.co.in for booking the railway tickets in online,but resent times when i want to book my tickets by using my debit/credit cards,it deduct the amount from my account and the ticket was not booked,like that happens 4,5 times.what have to do for getting solution.

          IRCTC — Site performance extremely poor

          Dear Reader,

          This is to take your notice that, IRCTC website is not available most of the times in the morning.
          specially at 08.00am when tatkal bookings open.

          It performs extremely bad and mostly give different types of errors during 8 to 9.
          this must be because load on the site in very high in this time and it is not able to respond to all the users.
          Due to this, customers are not able to make e-ticket bookings for Tatkal quota.

          Please check and upgrade website so that it can serve all the users all the time.

          Thanks.
          bech diya hai IRCTC WEB SERVICE ko dalalo ke hath. Jab bhi ticket banane baitho ghanto bit jaate hai, aur ticket nahi mil paata hai.
          Would something ever happen???
          when booking for tatkal invariably the site does not open and message "service unavailable" appears in spite of several attempts
          I think we all forget that we live in a place called 'INDIA', here everything has the same nature 'Chalta hai'. If we break our heads in this website complaining for the attitude that our government has on us, the government does not need to be answerable to us. Actually the government is not answerable to us at all for any of its decisions, which are mostly wrong. There is nothing actually that can be done. The only way to kill this government is just stop paying your taxes...all of you... This is the limit man...how long are we going to fight against corruption and injustice, this is happening since 1947, when we got Independence from the britishers..!!! Absolute disgrace...
          i face the same problem every now & then.
          the worst part the money goes immediately from the bank without the ticket being made!!
          Later on, you get a failure notification. This is absolutely frustrating. Every time you try to book a ticket you'll have to go through the same pain.
          I guess the person in-charge of the networking division of Irctc is not at all worried about the inconvenience to so many people everyday. He is getting his fat package regularly so why the hell bother about it. And for the bad luck of all Indians this is never going to change also. Alas !
          Great work Irctc. Keep Going :D
          Quoting the American Philosopher, the Late Warren Zevon:

          "Grandpa pissed his pants again, he don't give a damn;
          Brother Billy has got both guns drawn, he ain't been right since Vietnam."

          This is an apt description of IRCTC.co.in
          The first complaint in this thread is from 2011 and now it is 2013. Still the service has not improved. Many time I face the same problem and need to spent a lot of time in booking a ticket, even at odd times. The communication error, session timeout and worst the "waiting" for returning back to irctc after payment.. the issues are too many.
          Even today I spent almost hours in booking and still unsuccessful at the end of it. This is pathetic service.

          India is supposed to be IT Hub and home to the best talents in IT, still the irctc site which is so important can not be improved in so many years?

            Ticket booking service via ircrc.co.in always hangs when the Tatkal window opens @ 8 AM. The service remains the same for next 1-1.5 hours till all the tatkal tickets get exhausted.

            This is really disappointed to understand that if IRCTC does not have good servers to support the customer base then WHY are they in business ???
            Also, how can an agent book the same ticket while a webuser can't ??? What is the conpiracy here???

            Disppointing to see this ...

                  this is 100% true.irctc is just a useless website.for a normal user login under urgent circumstances.it never worked well.after all railway is not getting their much needed bribe money by this site's urgent transactions.
                  it is just degrading indian railway standards more.
                  I cannot express my hatred towards government sites and information systems in decent words. Filthy railway stations are the ugliest places on earth. With thousands of crores at their disposal, they cannot maintain even maintain a stupid website.Websites like cleartrip and makemytrip are blazing fast, but even they throw communication error when they try to contact filthy irctc servers.
                  ha ha ha plst don't say again say 'the worst site'.. because the owners of worst sites will file the suit against you...

                    Hello Sir/Madam

                    Its very surprising to see that websites like Google/Facebook/Twitter handle much much heavy loads than IRCTC and yet they are never down.... However, IRCTC is religiously out of order at 8 AM each day and get back in line with in minutes only to show that all the tickets have been booked

                    I think I dont need to tell what intentions are behind this.. Its known to every one... Can we think of being fair to the consumers and not just to a handful of people??

                    Best Regards// Ajay M

                          IRCTC — unable to retrieve the train list

                          sir,
                          i am the coustmer of irctc last 2 years, from last month unable to book the ticket, because train list was unable to retrive.

                          with regards,
                          V.Udhaya kumar,

                          i am not to get the trains list when i amtrain to check the list of train in the route in irctc can u please solve this problem sir
                          Even i have been tried from last 10 to 15 days. After providing From and To details, its not showing train details, while searching. Always its showing "Unable to retrieve train list". I hope u already lost most business. Fix the problem as soon as possible. Which company developed this site?
                          since one month i am unable to retrive the train list in spite of feeding all data.
                          Hi this is Jittender([protected])
                          Even I have the same problem I have raised it with IRCT on call as well as E-mail but no use they say that I have not given the right parameters.

                          For that I have taken a screen shot of my screen and have e-mail them, They really do not have a clue how to fix it.

                          I really need to get this fix as I use IRCTC always to book my tickets and its not at all supporting.
                          Happens with me too, have mailed [protected]@irctc.co.in regarding it. Have to see what they will respond with.

                          IRCTC — unable to retrieve train list

                          Since the past month the Online Ticket Booking portal of IRCTC's Plan My Travel Page is UNABLE TO RETRIEVE TRAIN LIST, how is one supposed to book a ticket?
                          what worked for me is by looking for the right code from some other site like indianrail.gov.in or some other place and then entering it in irctc site
                          Earlier the problem was not there.Now it says * unable to retrieve the train list* Does it mean that one has to go the railway station to book his/her ticket?This problem needs to be fixed urgently.Perhaps the general managers/ministers are not aware of the problem.This should be brought to their notice as well
                          Check your station codes guys.. Some might be useless.. as in my case previously I used to book through code 'Bombay Central' which is now 'Mumbai Central - BCT'. Still both code are available for both and 'Bombay Central' code is not working...

                            Sir/Madam
                            The IRCTC site for booking is too slow and very unreliable. Booking has become a big problem through this site. Most of the times the page fails to open and even if it does open when we are about to make a payment the page fails. I believe the server isnt maintained well . In short the service is Pathetic and Useless. Kindly look into this matter.
                            Thank you

                              Dear Sir/Madam,
                              I am Mahabir Prasad Agrawal, retired Deputy Manager from State Bank of India. Today I have booked four tickets for AC-2 tier from Durg to Kiul by train No.13287 SOUTH BIHAR EXPRESS for journey on[protected] and for all the four only side upper birth have been allotted. I have also booked four tickets by train No. 13288 SOUTH BIHAR EXPRESS for AC-3 tier for return journey dated[protected] for which 3 upper births and 1 middile birth have been allotted. Out of the four persons for whom tickets have been purchased 3 are Sr. Citizen, suffering from joint / knee problems. The forth one is also a lady of 57 suffering from frozen soulder.

                              Would railway minister who is said to be a person from common man and who claims that they specially cares for Senior Citizens well, see why during allotment of tickets the age is not considered. Further, after my booking above tickets 30 (AC-3 ) births are remaining available in train No.13288. How it can be believed that

                              (1) All the 30 remaining birth is only upper births.
                              (2) Why the births have not been allotted seriolly and only upper birth is left.

                                      Address: Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh

                                      I have booked a ticket through online and it was waiting list. Even one day before the date of journey, the ticket was Waiting List only. I have waited for the Train. When I have gone to station to know the status, they told that it was still waiting list and not confirmed and the ticket is not valid.

                                      I came back to home and tried for refund through online. It showed that the chart is prepared and the refund cannot be made.

                                      I am giving the details as follows:

                                      The ticket cannot be cancelled since chart is prepared.


                                      Can Indian Railways find a solution to this?
