I was travelling from delhi to chandigarh on my way and i brought tea and a water bottle the cost of them according to irctc guidelines are rs.7 and rs.15 respectively but the vendor sold me the both for rs.10 and rs.20 respectively it's not about the few rupees it's about the rules which if the government is not itself following. I want a strict action against them

    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?

      Totally non professional, non helpful, shrued, non cooperative, confirmed seat given to his relative. Travelled 10 bogies to search for TT, and available TT not ready to help, need to find myself the one who is assigned. Mr. Prabhu request you to give this part to private players, atleast they are good at customer service.Thank you

            Respected sir,
            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
            If it is found please contact us on [protected].
            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?

                              Hello,

                              I had booked a ticket on train no. 18520 for journey between ltt to vijaywada junction on 18 oct 19. This train was partially cancelled between ltt to pune which was informed by irctc through sms.

                              However, irctc has not provided any message for refunding the price for cancellation of partially journey tickets.

                              Today when i called irctc for refund of partially cancelled ticket, they asked me to file tdr but there is no record available at tdr section for claim.

                              My points are as below :

                              1. Why the irctc didn't provide refund of money automatically for partially cancelled tickets to the confirmed passengers as per the final chart?
                              2. Why didn't the irctc send any message about claiming procedure of this money if this is to be claimed individually?

                              Irctc is bound to provide the refund of money for partially cancelled tickets and they should immediately facilitate the process for the same. Details placed below for easy reference.

                                Although there are 536 complaints available on irctc in this forum, has any action taken on it to rectify the problem. I am fed up booking any tatkal tickets in irctc. I have never booked any tatkal ticket, the irctc people are deliberately blocking the site exactly at 8 am every morning. Are they just providing a service for the agents. It is very clear that the ips of the agents alone can access the site. Why is this? Anyway, i really wanted to get use of the consumer complaints forums, if this forum is just for reflecting our thoughts, then there is no use. Please some one let me know, will any action taken on not?

                                  I've booked 3 tickets for garibrath train from vishakapatnam to secunderabad on 24.11.2019 using the irctc website on 20.10.2019.

                                  I've paid the amount through hdfc credit card. I've received a message of amount debited from the bank. But the transaction status is showing 'pending from bank'

                                  Also the ticket is not appearing in the booked ticket history tab of the irctc website.

                                  It is very urgent

                                  Please help

                                    I had created an account on irctc a few years back using my email id but forgot the user id.in an attempt to try and get access to my account again, i have tried using the forgot user id option and entered my email id there. But it keeps on telling me "user not found". When i try to create a new account with my email id, it says "email id already exists". Please help me by resolving this issue so that i can use the irctc site for booking train tickets.

                                        I tried booking the ticket from dwarka to ahmedabad on transaction date: 08/oct/2019, but the transaction failed and my money (₹2689.16/-) got deducted. The transaction id is mentioned in the subject line. However, i haven’t received the money back into my account due to which i am writing this mail to you.

                                        Hope the deducted money is reflected in my account within 2-3 days after the mail is seen in your (Irctc) inbox!

                                        Kindly do the needful at the earliest!

                                        Thanks & regards,
                                        Customer @ irctc
