Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] — no refund for failed transaction

I paid for a reservation via google pay to irctc an amount of rs.2490 on march 9, 2019 with transaction number [protected]. The transaction failed but money was taken from my account. When i contacted irctc, they responded:

"please note that txn is a settlement-failed transaction for which no amount was debited towards irctc. That is we did not receive any payment authorization from your bankers to book the ticket. If at all the amount was debited and refund (Credit) is not reflecting in your account, kindly send us the complete bank statements (Fromdate of booking to till date) in pdf format to pursue the matter."

I sent them the bank statement and they said:
"we would like to inform you that your below-enclosed email has been forwarded to the concerned department. You will receive a reply in this regard shortly."

I never heard from them. I kept sending requests after requests and every time their response is:

"we would like to inform you that we have already forwarded your request to concern department.
It may take time so please cooperate us."

It is now over two months, and they are not resolving the case.

Please find the statement of account attached. I made several bookings on March 9, 2019. In fact all transactions in statement dated Mar 9 are IRCTC transactions.

Out of which the first transaction of Rs 2490 did not complete on IRCTC end, but money was deducted from my account. I made the booking again with another payment mode and that worked (it is the very next transaction of 2501).

Please let me know if you need anything else from my side.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Customer,

Please note that TXN <[protected] > is a settlement-failed transaction for which no amount was debited towards IRCTC. That is we did not receive any payment authorization from your bankers to book the ticket. If at all the amount was debited and refund(credit)is not reflecting in your account, kindly send us the complete bank statements (FromDate of Booking to till date) in PDF format to pursue the matter.

NOTE: Please use email ID registered in your IRCTC profile for communication with IRCTC Customer Care.
