Hi.,
Not Sure if anyone is facing this issue., When you try to book a ticket (anyplace,any train), it shows Crazy waiting lists even 4 weeks before the travel date. I am sure why.,A train which goes daily having capacity more than 700 seats..
Okay but still Tatkal is option., so when i try to book Tatkal tickets., I think it open 8AM 2 days in advance of journey date., so when we check at 8 AM, www.irctc.co.in website is down says Service Unavailable., so i keep trying finally in 5 mints i connect and shocked to see all 200 odd Tatkal Seats sold within 5 mints, HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE..., and this is not first time or second time,this happened to me many many many times., as i keep travel between Chennai and Bangalore, or Bangalore and hyderabad.,
I think Indian Railways is running some kind of Scam which public is not aware of.,
How can 200 Seats get over in 5 mints cannot understand, once is okay, it happens everyday.,
Please Check this & take Action on Indian Railways, Its supposed to be Govt Sector and Public Transport.., Hope this is Cleared ASAP.,
Regards,
Unhappy Citizen with Indian Railways Scams on Tickets.,

Hi,

This is regarding a faulty software system running at https://www.irctc.co.in. I am not sure if it was designed by one of Mamata Banerjee's illiterate relatives. You wont believe the deficiencies present in this website. Earlier itself, this system had the following issues:

1. You try to book a ticket on a day 3 months ahead. you find that no ticket is available. You replan, but always it selects the current date (Why the [censored] they have decided with this... either they can leave it blank and always prompt for a date OR they can go with the same date user had chosen earlier)

2. It is not a scalable system. It can probably be used at a time by maximum 1000 users I believe. During festival seasons, when a hell lot of people use the system, it literally dies out (it is probably [censored]ed up and exhausted). You cannot access it for quite a long time.

Recently mamata seems to have given contract to her illiterate Maoist relatives to redo the website. They have done a "Good" work by completely tampering the station selection system.

1. Earlier system had an option to search for a station by entering the first letters (if the pop-up did not work). Since the pop-up is not always guaranteed to work, that option was provided. Now that has completely been removed.

Kindly take steps to restore this system to a useful state.

Thanks
Joby

Our Train Missed due to Road Jamming. Four passenger ( PNR Number: [protected].Transaction ID: [protected]. Date Of Journey: 10/2/2010) not travelled From AYODHYA(AY) To DHANBAD JN(DHN) by Train No-3010 due to above mentioned reason. When TDR filled against e-ticket on IRCTC site. the reply cames from IRCTC that "1093-ER/5 As per records Party had travelled on the ticket. The case is repudiated."--and TDR rejected. Even through email i given the several times proof of journey by another train(after 4 Hr from train no.-3010) but still it is not cleared. almost 1 year has passed

my complaint is, my sbi card is not deliver in my official address at 4 times properly
this time is my SBI card consignment no is - [protected] pls delivered card as soon as possibly in my official address
my official address is -BLS Management college B-8 mohan nagar opp moham meakin factory gaziabad.

I am Sanjeev Verma. I alongwith my family travelled from Patna to New Delhi on 15 Jan 2011 by RJPB Rajdhani Express. PNR Number is [protected] and coach no. was BE-1, Berth No 65, 68, 66. My complaint is during moring on 16 Jan 2011, tea and snacks not served in the coach except some few passengers. On enquiry, it was excused that they don't get water and other items from the pantry car. When the tickets in Rajdhani Express includes cost of meals and snacks then why such kind of excuses is given. IRCTC should return the basic cost of food.

Hi,
Amazingly so, the IRCTC e-ticket booking looks to be becoming funny piece of software written by incompetent engineers. Here is the case I am facing now.

I want to book a ticket with following details:
Train No: 12273 / HWH NDLS Duronto
From: HWH TO: NDLS
Date of journey:[protected]
Date of Booking:[protected]
Passengers: 1. Male/30yrs (me); 2.Female/30yrs with one kid of 2yrs
Present availability: 453 in general quota (max sit is around 500/600 in general)

While I am going to book this ticket on IRCTC web with "at least one lower berth" option (for the kid/female); it is saying that the ticket cannot be booked for lower berths are not available.

This is ridiculous!!! Hardly 10/20% ticket is gone, there has to be a lot of lower berths available. Considering a kid of 2yrs is also travelling, I don't know how it denies offering a lower berth. I have tried three times (twice yesterday, once today). Same error repeated.

Do you think this is a real case of scarcity of lower berth where 453 sits are available!

Please offer some tea/coffee to the staffs/engineers who wrote the software. There must be some serious flaw! I faced the same problem earlier when 250 sits were available. I thought maybe all earlier people has opted for lower berth and with 40/50% booking done it may be possible. But I came to know now that this is not a real case o[censored]n-availability. It is a human error that seriously affects the traveller.

Please take corrective action on the same.
