Dear Sir,
I had filed a TDR against PNR No. [protected] due to reason that the train (22868) was delayed beyond 8 hours and the passengers (AK Jain & Rashmi Jain, both Senior citizen) did not travel.
A confirmation E-mail was sent by IRCTC on 16.01.2024 at 5.18 Hours. Relevant part of the E-mail received is reproduced below -

The fact of delay in train running was confirmed by IRSMSA through repeated messages on 10th and 11th January, 2024. Copy of messages received from IRSMSA is attached as image file.
Till date I have not received the refund amount. Being a senior citizen I am always in need of hard earned money, and it is expected that IRCTC settles the claim of all bonafide customers on priority, specially the senior citizens.
It is requested to settle the refund amount without further delay as the matter is already delayed for more than 3 weeks.
Thanking you in anticipation of prompt response and settling the grievance asap.
Sincerely,
Arun Kumar Jain (Male) (Passenger -1 )
Rashmi Jain (FM) (Passenger - 2)
