    Tried booking a train ticket from irctc on 3-nov-2019 11 am.
    Booking transaction id : [protected]
    Used netbanking payment option and axis bank.
    After entering the password & otp, the money (Rs. 1184.5) was deducted from my axis bank account but no ticket was issue in irctc. The status shown in irctc is "pending from bank end".

    As per irctc, refunds are only triggered when the status is either "payment settled but ticket not booked" or "settlement failed and ticket not booked". For the status "pending from bank end" there is no refund triggered. Please help with this issue.

      Address: ASHA RANI CHAUDHURI, Behind Sabuj Sanga, Talbagicha South, Munger, Bihar, 721306

      It was on 24/10/2019 i was traveling from kharagpur jn to njp jn via karmabhoomi express. The train was more than 3hours late and as per rules i filed a tdr against a family member of mine who couldn't travel due to the inconvenience. The tdr was rightly registered as i even call the irctc helpline to verify the same. And after getting into the train, i even informed the tc about the same and he marked it likewise. But now, irctc is mailing me by saying that the northern railways/frontier has repudiated our tdr as it was not claimed by the party. But i have every proof of the claim. The pnr along with the tdr complaint number as well as screenshots of the mail.
      The pnr number is-[protected].
      Tdr reference number-[protected].
      I have complianed about the same to irctc innumerable times but the reply is always the same.

        Dear team,

        I booked below tickets today online using tatkal option. I was not aware of the refund rule of tatkal –confirm booking. I planned to book tickets for below family members.
        1) ganesh sutar - self
        2) anushree ganesh sutar - child
        3) aarti ganesh sutar-spouse
        Travel from mgr chennai central to hubbali
        Date of travel : 2nd nov 2019
        Pnr numbers.
        1) [protected] — booked
        2) [protected] — cancelled
        Due to spouse leg issue i thougth i will get two lower seat in same compartment and one middle but i got two middle and one upper but it was not feasible for spouse due to leg issue she is unable to onboard on middle /upper seat. So i thought without refund knowledge to book another ticket and hopefully will get two lower and one middle but system again given me two middle and one upper anyways i have to cancel one out of these two duplicate tickets with same member same destination. Boarding from mgr chennai central to hubbali. But when i received email saying that i will not receive refund of another cancelled ticket then i shocked what system is build by irctc, i found system flaw here without provision of cancellation of duplicate ticket., system should not allow below either
        1) if members are same they can’t seat at a time on two different seats
        2) journey destination is same
        And if i’m aware about tatkal - confirmed refund rules i would have never booked another ticket or if the system had been designed according to above two points mentioned it should discard me for booking same journey ticket for same people. Please note this point.

        I would like to request to think about the flaws in the above (Two rules) in your system to save other people from financial loss due to this faulty system. And if possible please refund my whole payment for the set of duplicate tickets kindly, consider this valuable suggestion. I would like to cc to consumer complaint forum too here. If they can help me to get refund of my cancelled tickets i will definitely write to them.
        Regards,
        Ganesh

          Same issue as posted by "soheb1805" on Nov 1, 2019. After I topped up iMudra Account using my credit card it was blocked for no known reason.

          Through chat and email communicated the issue but looks the support staff are very incompetent, knows nothing except some robotic responses.

          (1) They blocked my account and I am unable to login and they wants the statement, how can I get it (they do not sent it by post or email) ?

          (2) They want card details for the transaction, which one ? I sent the card of iMudra they says "this is not iMudra Card" . Is it not rubbish that they are unable to recognise iMudra Card which they sent to me and I am using in marchant outlets as well?

          Now I want my money back and close my account with such unprofessional service.

              This is in reference to the refund amount to be paid for my cancelled ticket with PNR no. [protected] in Tejas Express for date 30th November 2019.I cancelled my ticket approximately 12 hours before the scheduled departure time.But the amount of refund showing is Rs 210.

              The entire ticket costs me Rs 2010.40 and the refund amount showing is very less.As per the policy for Tejas express (Lucknow-Delhi) the amount deducted should be 25 rupees per passenger.

              If we consider the normal railway claims and refund rules, then also atleast 50 percent refund should be provided.But the amount refunded is only Rs 210

                Rail implement otp for refund for agent. If agent mistake to type phone no. He can not get refund but he bound to pay the customer. Agent is simple a human being. Mistake can be happen any time. But no way to recover. If any agent misleading with any customer he should be punished. But but why all agent suffer for this.

                Why rail implement this type of rules for agent only. Where a man book ticket in irtctc web site he get cheaper than agent. Unemployment man are take agency from irctc. But now a days very much minimum ticket done by agency everybody buy ticket their own app.in this. Coz app will cheaper that agency.

                Agency is suffering from earn. No commission. No tatkal facility no incoming ticket facility. When agency open all ticket finished.

                Why rail provide agency, where rail not provide any commission?

                This is simply exploit for unemployment people,

                Agent give registration charge, annul charge, dongle charge. But no commission. It is dangerous when are more expensive then irctc own website.

                And now a days otp refund too much disgusting. Where rail auto cancel waiting ticket. Provide otp after 3 days. Why customer wait 3 days for refund? Where in irctc website when any cancel done refund automatically deposited in their account.

                How agent earn or survive.?

                Need proper response. Why exploit unemployment people?

                      we want to tell you that a tea Carter have stolen our kettle worth Rs 4000 between 1.30am and 3.00 am before entering bathinda when we slept in S10

                      Day by Day the quality of food is getting degraded. No one likes to eat this kind of food... Which we cannot even take it in mouth... Whatever we pay as fair that is including food and other services... Then why we don't get the right service as well as food...? Kids might can fall sick after having the same...

                        Whenever trying to book ticket in tatkal through irctc app we are not able to do it with different kind of errors and it throws out on login page. It only allows to enter when seats are in waiting status. This whole thing happens everytime. I believe so irctc made this app for agents only and it's completely harrasement to normal citizens because irctc know people don't have any option and as a normal citizens they can't do anything

                            Hello,
                            Last night I tried booking a train ticket at midnight. The money got deducted from my bank of Baroda account but the ticket was not confirmed as the time went out due to IRCTC server was not active. I did not receive my ticket but the amount was cut from my bank account. An amount of rs 810.40 was cut from the account. I request you to refund the amount. The transaction ID is attached below.
                            Thank you.

                                  I tried booking two tickets through tatkal quota. Irctc website took all the necessary information and transaction was going on in a smooth run. But, unfortunately the tickets didn't get booked. The money is been deducted from the bank but, the website shows a message "pending from the bank end". Please do let me know if there is any chance i would get my tickets booked?
