I booked ticket in train lichchavi exp 14005 for sunday, 8 sep, 2019 (Pnr: [protected]) from kanpur central to anand vihar terminal and the train was 8 hours late so i did not travel and filed tdr under reason "train late more than three hours and passenger not travelled".
But today i received a mail saying that your request has been repudiated. And the reason for rejection is given as "null".
Is this a joke for indian railways. Their trains are late more than 8 hours and my total journey was of 6 hours. It was a 3ac ticket which costed me rs 660. Now they have rejected the tdr request and not even given a proper reason for that.
Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
I have cancelled the ticket and the status is refunded.But in my bank account, amount is not credited.Kindly help to solve the issue.

          Please be careful while booking tatkal ticket online. Railways won't take in-charge since online booking is handled by irctc and not concerned with indian railways (As per what they says, on inquiring at 139). For tatkal, it is better to book directly in indian railway and avoid irctc. Their after-booking customer service is very horrible. The app shows different status.

          Please check the attached screenshots which showed cnf when i completed payment and confirmed booking, which changed to wl after 15 minutes of booking.

            Address: "pending from bank end"
            Website: www.irctc.co.in/nget/last-book-ticket

            I booked a train ticket in 12625 (Kerala express) on 13/09/2019.
            However, it shows "pending from bank end" till now. Money has been deducted from my bank account. The status of booking is not still clear, so I am not able to book another ticket.
            I need final confirmation about the status of the ticket if it is booked or declined. In case if it is declined kindly refund.

            Kindly resolve this concern at the earliest so that I can proceed for further action.

                    Address: Ernakulam, Kerala, 682020

                    Myself traveling on 12/09/2019 in Rajadhani express from Ernakulam South 22:40 to Madgaon with my family my wife and two kids of age, one is 4 years and the elder one is of 5 yrs of age. I had taken two tickets for 2 AC. When the journey started the ttr on duty came for ticket checking, he asked for the ticket of my elder son and when i told I hadn't taken ticket for him, he started threatening me and asked an amount of Rs.4000 as penalty. When I requested him to kindly avoid the penalty he asked me to pay an amount of Rs.3500 to let me to continue my journey with my family. Finally when I gave the amount he asked, he told me to go to my seat and didn't provide the receipt of the penalty amount which I had paid. This is not at all acceptable and it's a pure injustice and such a corruption happening in Indian Railway and that happened to an Indian citizen. Request to the authorized department people to take necessary action and get my money back from the thief (TTR) on duty at the said time and give him the appropriate punishment upon the law.

                      Hi there,

                      I have booked a ticket on irctc website. The money has been taken out from account at bank. I did even got sms saying money deducted. However, irctc saying "pending from bank end". I am confused. How long it will take to fund clear and ticket will be booked? It's really painful process waiting for this and not able to book another ticket. Any help would be appreciated.

                      Thank you,

                          While booking tickets irctc website takes you to payment portal and then lets you know that if any of the conditions you had put are not met. This way money gets deducted from our account without booking any ticket. Then they say it might take up to seven says to refund. Sometimes we don't have money and can't book tickets until we get the refund. There is no way to book another ticket of the same or lesser amount against the money deducted from the account. This becomes crucial for economically weaker section of our society. Why can't they stop the process before the payment if conditions are not met. They use this money to earn interest, as it happens with thousands of the people everyday. Why can't they refund within hours of the payment, in todays technology it is not at all difficult.

                              Dear sir/ madam
                              I am ganesh kashe, riya travel authorised agent.

                              The website is not sending mobile verification code on my mobile. And, therefore i am not able to log-in into the irctc website.

                              Kindly check and resolve as soon as possible, as i have to take printouts of my booked tickets and make another online booking.

                              Thanks & regards
                              Ganesh kashe

                                  I booked tatkal ticket on 29-aug-2019 from secunderabad to rajahmundry for 2 passengers with pnr no. [protected]. Ticket status are tqwl 22 and tqwl 23 at the time of booking. The next day ticket got confirmed for 1 passenger and tqwl 1 for another passenger. Generally waiting list tickets got cancelled and refunded automatically. And also they are not allowing to passenger to travel. But now they are not refunding and says that i had to cancel manually waiting list ticket. They are not allowing passenger to travel. Why should i cancel to refund. They are not sending any instructions regarding this. Anyhow that ticket is not valid then they have to refund. Attaching ticket for reference.

                                    My train was diverted and train was not arrived at my boarding station. My train booking details are as follows:

                                    Travel date: 4-august-2019
                                    Traveling from: vadodara to new delhi

                                    I get sms from indian railway that train was diverted from surat. Kindly find the screenshot attached for your reference. Even i have attached the refund rules from indian railways site and it is clearly mentioned that no tdr required to be filed.

                                    My travelling was so important that i have to book the tick

                                    I mail to irctc and even they didn't clarify for my query.

                                    Please do the needful for the refund of my ticket. Thanks.

                                    Regards,

                                    Reply from IRCTC was also attached in above complaint. No executive is giving proper answer against my query.

                                    Even I have to book my ticket in urgency in flight with higher cost.

                                    I request IRCTC to reimburse me my ticket amount. Thanks.
