Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Complaints & Reviews

Hi,
I have booked the tickets from LTT to SBC. The train which i have booked (Train Number/Name: 11013 / COIMBATORE EXP) has been diverted and it was not reaching Bangalore. Hence we came in bus.
When I called customer care, they have asked to file TDR to get the money refund. Since then I’m trying to file TDR, but the site is not responding when I click on TDR. I have sent an email to "[protected]@irctc.co.in" for the same within the time line. but they have responded after the response time and asked to send it from registered email ID. As requested by them, i have sent again from my registered email ID. But now they are not responding at all. Also there was no proper information on what to to when the train has been diverted and there was no information on the timeline as well to submit the compliant.
Hence requesting you to help in submitting the TDR for the below ticket. PNR Number: [protected].

Regards,
Vijay

I have booked 2 AC tickets for my father and mother (age 59 and 54). 71 tickets were available at the time, still I was assigned upper berths. I am worried about my parents. Who will climb and sit on upper berth for 30 hrs journey at the age of 60. I called the 24*7 customer care for help but no positive response. Kindly help me out.

Hi,
I've booked a jet airways ticket from irctc flights website on 14mar19. However it has been cancelled from the airlines side on 22mar19. Executives from irctc have contacted me through mail saying that amount will be refunded in full. I've checked in jet airways website to confirm that the ticket was indeed cancelled and it was cancelled. Hence i've given my ticket details to irctc executives. Received an acknowledgement mail from irctc. Have been waiting for the refund since then. Amount has not reflected into my account still. Can someone guide me through.

Attached the mail conversations and ticket details.

Thanks and regards,
Venkatesh

Due to fake & unproper designed website of irctc, i faced very bad experience in irctc train of anand to mumbai bdts lok sakti
I had booked onlinetiket using irctc.co.in website of anand to mumbai bdts lok sakti on 14/3/19 in ticket they mentioned seats numbr 9, 10, 11 so i thought my ticket is booked and also transaction money of 840 also cut and payment receipt also generated so i also thought my ticket is conformed not in waiting list and journey date was 7/4/19 i was reached anand railway station at 10:0 pm lok sakti train arrived at 10:45 my father, my sister and my bhai went in to train we cheked seat number mentiond in our ticket but tc said that your seat is not conformed and booked. I was very shocked i said i have payment receipt of booked tiket and my transction fees 840 also cut then how could say that my ticket is not conformed and booked tc said your all 3 tickets are in waiting list i said if my all 3 tickets in waiting list then why they mentioned seat numbers 9, 10, 11 in ticket and cut the transaction money 840, and generate the payment reciept and i also said all these 3 tickts were booked 23 days before still in waiting list this is not possible tc said i don't know any thing your seat is not booked and in waiting i said showed me status waiting in my printed ticket he said i don't know, if you want to 3 seats then you pay 4000 rs i was very shocked if seats are not available & in waiting then how he said if you want seats then pay 4000 rs but i have imergency work in mumbai so i talked with t. C and paid 1200 rs and get 3 seats
In short irctc train online booking website is cheated with us, this website is tottaly fake, unproper mentainable websites my all 3 sets are in waiting list eventhough my 840 rs was not refund by them on journey date 7/4/19 even in irctc co in website are not provide option for refund money in waiting list case even in journey time or on journey date this government website is cheater and using customer's sweat money then earn illigal profit after this incident i immediately cancelled my return ticket mumbai bdts to anand it was also in waiting list even though they cut 180 rs for cancellation chargre how can they do even seats are not conformed and in waiting they should change their policy. If seat are in waiting list and it whenever cancelled then all the money without cancellation charge they should give all fees related to ticket to customer
So, i request my money 840 and180 rs with cancellation charge refund to me

Hi,

I made a transaction today to book a ticket in irctc using razorpay upi.

I can see the money being deducted from my credit card but i don't see any tickets booked in the irctc front.

When i see the status, i can see the payment has been processed from my side. I got an email confirmation that payment has been made to razorpay upi id ([protected]@hdfcbank)

I would require assistance to reverse this transaction, refund the amount i paid (Rs. 1252.64).

I have booked ticket from irctc app for my relative which pnr is [protected]. But on journey date train was late more than 3 hr. So i filed tdr and my relative travelled through bus. I personally received her at anand vihar bus terminal at 10 pm.
But i got mail from irctc that tdr is rejected with reason that passenger has travelled.
The mail i got from irctc as follows

"dear customer,

The tdr filed against pnr number [protected] with reason train late more than three hours and passenger not travelled. Has been repudiated by system as per the indian railways refund rules https://www.services.irctc.co.in/betaDoc/Amendments_RefundRules_2406.pdf

Reason for repudiation/rejection:, as per chart, passenger has travelled

Please note that the decision about the amount of refund or rejection of claim is taken by system as per extant refund rules of indian railways and not by irctc.

The status is also available online and found under tdr history.

For any assistance please contact our customer care call centre or mail to [protected]@irctc.co.in.

I was travelling yesterday with my two kids alone in gt express from khammam to chennai in second tier a3 coach. I had worst experience it started after i boarded train and put my kids to sleep. Then it started itching for me below elbow and switched on light and saw bed bug. I threw it and checked my daughters and to my shock there are more than 10 bed bugs to the pillow and some on the bed roll. I immediately took my daughters and threw them away. I wanted to complain but no one was there. Again i dusted the beds and let them sleep but they got bites with red marks all over the hands and for me i had so many bites red and swelled. Is this how you maintain the coaches and play with health of the passengers. As i was alone i couldn't even go and search for help because i can't leave my kids and go. Really worst experience. Please look into the matter and value our money too we are paying for comfort what is the use of paying if we are too much uncomfortable

I would like to make an complain against irctc for terminating my journey half way and also not availing refund for the same. I had booked my tickets for bandra to jamnagar for 3-tier ac on 23rd march 2019 through online mode of irctc website. The details of same are as follows:

Transaction id: [protected]
Pnr no. : [protected]
Train no. / name: 19217/sau janata exp

However the train was terminated at ahmedabad (Adi). I got the sms for termination of my train four hours before the journey began as my travel was planned so i was left with no other option but to travel till ahmedabad. Also the sms didn’t mention anything about the process for my refund.

Beside the tc and railway officer at ahmedabad both told me since my ticket was booked online i have to claim tdr online.

On coming back to mumbai i tried to claim my refund but i was told that tdr has to be filed upto seventy two hours of schedule arrival of the train at passenger’s destination and the original certificate (Gc/eft) issued by the ticket checking staff is to be sent through post to irctc. Wide my complain id 3466654 & 3480322.

Since i didn’t know this rules i am not eligible for the refund. I was on holiday trip with my family including senior citizen mother, i thought i will do the tdr claim filing once i reach back to mumbai. But now i am left with not claim. However i would like to know how the common men is suppose to know all the rules regarding tdr claim. Beside the train tc and station staff also did not have and information about the process to claim refund.

Also if the trains are terminated irctc has all the information/details of the passengers who have travelled, then there should be an auto process to credit the tdr grant at-least for the online ticket passengers.

I feel that my tdr claim should be reconsider as i was not ever of any such rules. Kindly help me in above matter at the earliest.

Thanks & regards
