Address: Ajwa Road

Dear Sir,

I had filed an TDR for a ticket in which i and my wife were supposed to travel. Following are the details:
Details of the Journey:
TRAIN NUMBER : 22943
PNR : [protected]
TRANSACTION ID: [protected]
DATE OF JOURNEY : 17 SEPTEMBER 2023
BOARDING : VADODARA, TO : INDORE
PASSENGER NAMES : PRANAY JOHARI, KARISHMA NAGAR

The reason for raising the TDR is delayed departure of train from the boarding location. It was expected to depart on "17 Sept 2023" at "00:35" but it actually started in the morning near about "09:00 " which did not serve the purpose of our travelling and we did not travel.

And as per the IRCTC TDR refund policy, If the train is running late by more than 3 hours and the passenger has not travelled, a TDR has to be filed before the actual departure of the train for availing full refund.

We had filed TDR online before its actual departure and also got a letter signed from on duty TC for the same from the railway station.

We have shared all the details in mail to "[protected]@irctc.co.in" but till date did not receive any update and refund for the tickets.

Please help me to get my refund .

Regards,
Pranay

We are not satisfied with the reply we have received. We have not travelled and the proof we have already submitted but still they are telling that we have travelled. We want our money back.

    I had booked a two-way ticket from IRCTC and while selecting my berth preference, I had opted for a lower berth. However, I was not allocated a lower berth and this has left me feeling quite disappointed. To add to my concerns, my mother is traveling with me and she is over 50 years old and has health issues. It would have been very helpful if IRCTC had given us the lower berth as per our preference. What is the point of choosing the berth, when the same cannot be entertained?

    It seems like booking a lower berth ticket from IRCTC is impossible.

          I recently received a notification stating that my TDR filed against PNR Number [protected], for the train on 2nd October 2023, was repudiated due to an "Invalid TDR Timestamp: DELAY." However, I would like to clarify a few points regarding my TDR submission:

          The train on 2nd October 2023 was delayed by approximately 10 hours, preventing me from travelling.

              Hi Sir/Madam,

              I got a mail from IRCTC saying that My TDR request Repudiated through EDR/ECRS. I should get the refund, but I got repudiated mail. I have added the mail screenshot below. Please check it.

              I have filed TDR against PNR Number [protected] with reason Train Late More Than Three Hours and Passenger Not Travelled. We haven't travelled in train as it was delay by more than 4.5hours. But we didn't get any refund even though we didn't travelled in train and filed TDR.

              Booking Confirmation on IRCTC, Train: 12251, 01-Sep-2023, SL, YPR - DHNE

              I have updated all the information, Please check the issue and give me the refund as we filed TDR and didn't travelled on train.

              So Please do the refund.

              Thanks & Regards,

                          Dear Sir/Madam,

                          I am writing to complain about the repudiation of my TDR for PNR [protected], dated 05-Aug-2023.

                          I had booked a ticket in ixigo app from SMVB to PER on 05-Aug-2023, but the train got late from more than 3 hours. I had filed the TDR on the same day at 09:19 hrs. However, the status of my TDR is showing as "Case Repudiate" with the reason "NO EDR HAS BEEN FED AGAINST THE PARTICULAR PNR AS PARTY HAS TRAVELLED".

                          I am unable to understand why my TDR has been repudiated. I did not travel on the train. and I attached the ticket of that, and another train travelled.

                          I request you to kindly investigate this matter and process my TDR refund at the earliest. I have incurred a financial loss due to the repudiation of my TDR.

                          PNR: [protected], Registration No.:[protected]. train No.: 12295 Date of Journey: 05-Aug-2023 Ticket Amount: 1020 TDR Filing Date: 05/08/2023 09:19 hrs. TDR Zone: EAST CENTRAL RAILWAY (EC)

                          Thank you for your time and consideration.

                            Dear Sir/Madam,

                            My PNR: [protected] for train journey was planned on 8th September 2023 23:25PM from SMVT Bengaluru to MAS Chennai.

                            But unfortunately I received a message from irctc stating my train is delayed and scheduled to departure by 09.09.2023 07:00AM from SMVT Bengaluru.

                            So, I initiated a TDR filing on 8th September 20:07:47 PM stating the exact reason of "Train late more then three hour and passenger not travelled".

                            But my TDR is rejected for reason: Invalid TDR Timestmap : DELAY and also upon checking the refund details there is a data mismatch for what I have filed and refund details provided in the web portal.

                            I am attaching the screenshots of my TDR filling and refund details provided by IRCTC and also the delay message sent by IRCTC.

                            I am entitled for a full refund due to delay more then 3hrs and kindly help on resolving this issue.
