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.

About 04:16 am, I came to know through IRCTC text message (Train late by 03:16 hrs) and through online mediums also that train was running late more than 3 hrs. So I decided to not to opt this train journey as I may got so late and could not reach my destination within time. And I filled TDR on 04:51 am with reason "Train delayed more than three hours and all passengers not travelled" . After few days I came to know my TDR status "STATUS: CR REPUDIATE" .
            It seems I will get no refunds, I want to know, why. Even with valid reasons, even after getting disturbed and getting financial and either losses due to this train delay, I am unable to get refund also. Its really bad.
            Please help me out, At least PROVIDE REFUND

              Namaskar, Jai Hind

              I'm Priyanshu Kumar student at Central university of jharkhand.I'm from Bettiah, West Champaran, Bihar.
              I would like to request to indian railways to start a train connecting bettiah(bth) to ranchi junction(rnc).Because the only train which we can take to reach ranchi is MAURYA EXPRESS(15028) from Muzaffarpur junction(mfp) @ 14:10 hour, and to take this train we have to take SAPTKRANTI SF EXPRESS (12558) from bth to mfp and also have to wait for around 1.5 to 2 hrs at mfp railway station.(Sometime wait hour crosses 2+hrs when MAURYA EXPRESS is late). It's too hectic and time taking.
              Secondly we didn't get confirm reservation seat as the load on this train is very high, everyday within a week this train have waiting tickets, how can we travel ? In last 2 years I manage to get confirm ticket from GORAUL(grl) station but nowadays can't get from there also.
              Thirdly, during the festivals, my god, we can't travel rather we have our confirm reservation seat. This much crowd comes during festivals.
              It's high time to start a direct train between Champaran to ranchi.
              Although deciding route is work of Indian Railways, but, my suggestion is to start a train from source narkatiaganj junction(nke) to end at ranchi junction(rnc) or hatia(hte) starting from nke in mid day and reach Ranchi in morning next day.
              Kindly have a look over this problem and consider my request.
              Thank You

                    Train was clearly 5 hrs delayed and i could not travel but irctc is failing to refund the amount and tdr shows cr repudiated.
                    This is pathetic on part of irctc.

                      I Anjana Booked a seat on JAT express AC 3 Tier worth ₹528.60 Via IRCTC Online for 26 August 2023, Train was supposed to to depart from Pathankot at 11:05 AM but Train itself was late my more than 3hrs & I could not travel because of it being too late.

                      The Train was Booked via IRCTC registered Account [protected]@gmail.com

                      (1) Train was late by more than 3hrs
                      (2) Our Ticket was in Waiting List till train Departed from Pathankot

                      When I filed TDR they refused to refund & in your refund Rules list it is clearly mentioned that even after PNR chart is prepared tickets in waiting List shall be dropped off & a refund shall be issued.

                      This is my first time traveling through IRCTC & it is a horrible experience indeed.

                            We did not travelled in the train 16032 with the PNR number [protected] due the train running late for more than 3 hours. We were supposed to board from New Guntur to Chennai on 27th August 9:45pm. But the train was already running late for more than 3 hours. It came to new Guntur the next day morning around 6am. I filed a TDR for this with the reason as Train late for more than 3 hours and Passenger not travelled. But IRCTC has rejected TDR with the reason as Invalid TDR Timestamp: Delay.

                            Please refund the full money for this ticket booking.

                                Hi Support team, I have booked two tickets from kanpur central to anand vihar trm for Lichchvi express on 17th August, 2023 and Date of Journey was 17th Aug, 2023. For reason train delayed more than 3 hours and the passengers have not traveled, I filled the TDR for the same in IRCTC against our tickets and the status was turned to CR Registered, but the amount was not refunded yet. I am not sure what else I might be missing to get amount refunded. Please let me know what I can do further or else you can drop a mail to [protected]@gmail.com Ticket details: Date Of Transaction :- 17th Aug, 2023. Amount paid: Rps 1485.30 Reason For TDR: Train Late More Than Three Hours and Passenger Not Travelled. TDR Filing Date: 17-Aug-2023 TDR Status: CR Registered Booking Id: [protected] Warm Regards, Nikita
