Indian Railways Complaints & Reviews

I was coming from Sealdah to APDJ by train no 13149, ( my P.N.R. no was [protected], barth no. 45, coach no A1 and platform no 9A) on 09.06.2015. at 20.20Hrs Before the journey I put my luggage on my barth no.45 and got down from the train to purchase some foods, at that time no passenger and railway staff was there. After 20 minutes I came back and found that some train escorts(rpf) with dogs were searching my luggage and then I claimed my luggage and after that a on duty officer may be the name Mr. Giri came and started assaulting me with unhealthy and bad languages like dropping from the train and in train asked me for money (bride) to continue make the journey otherwise he would detrained me in the next station.But I was not willing to pay money even I willing to detrain from train as per railways noms on paper.The above on duty officer disturbed me so much that I got ill and got afraid to take next journey in train. I would request you to consider the matter very seriously so that in future other passenger would not disturbed like this.

Dear Sir, Madam We were travelling from Surat to Borivali via - Intercity express - 12936 on 7th June 2015. We had taken tickets of First Class coach - Cabin via Internet. - Maximum price. To our surprise when we boarded the train we found the coach allotted to us was having ordinary push back seats - old style with all accessories broken and also there was no sign of AC too. Also to our surprise the next coach was AC - CC and it was a seating too with 200 RS less and new seats and also ac. Our coach further was very dirty and not cleaned at all. Also while booking we never got an option of Seating or NON AC, which should be intimated to the customers. Why railways is fooling us when they are increasing the rates every 6 monthly minimum and also not giving us the facility as committed while booking??? Following are the details of our tickets. 1) Ankur Thakkar - [protected] Seat no- FC1 -12, 14. 2) S.V Mali [protected] Seat no- FC1 18, 19. 3) Mrs Tahera- [protected], Seat no- FC1 20 4) Miss Ritwa Lokhandwal - [protected], Seat no - FCI 17. 5) Mr. A D Mehta - [protected], Seat no FC1 22, 23. 6) Mr. Yusuf Lokhand wala - [protected], seat no - FC1 27 7) Mr. Umedkumar Sinai[protected], seat no -FC1 28 8) Mr Anchit Sagar - [protected], seat no FC1 32. 9) Mr Manoj Singh - [protected], Seat no - FC1 15, 16. Above are few passengers traveling details for your verifying. Hope we get justice regarding the same, as we feel really cheated as we get the inferior quality of service and comfort after paying the maximum price for the tickets. We also very disheartened after seeing the toilet conditions. why don't we still implement the Chemical toilet technology as it is spoiling our thousands of stations and it is very hazardous for our health. Hope to get a some response and justice for the complain and hope to improve the condition of your service and the railways. Yours Faithfully Ankur Thakkar Mb - [protected].

Sir I have booked an e-ticket PNR No.[protected], Transaction ID [protected] from DWARKA(GUJ) to Kanpur by 15635/Guwahati Express on 29-May-2015. Due to AANDOLAN in Rajasthan, 15635/Guwahati Express was cancelled. Hence I could not make the journey with my family. I was informed that I will be eligible for full refund as I had not made the journey. But I was not able to cancel the ticket from the railway counter over there as it was e-ticket .Again I was informed that there is no need of cancellation of ticket as the train was cancelled by Indian Railway itself. More than 12 days are over, I have still not received the refund. Kindly confirm how to get the refund & look into the matter.

Dear Sir, It was with great disappointment that myself and my wife was traveling by Train No.16188 Karaikal Exp., berth Nos.(S4 23, 24) PNR No.[protected] Transaction ID: [protected] from Thrissur to Nagapattanam date of Journey was 4-6-2015, when the train reached Tiruchanapilly station on[protected] the special code came for ticket checking, they found that the documents unfortunately which I was holding does not have the original ones instead I showed them all the document but copies which related to the required documents, I also showed my Original ATM Card from where I booked my online ticket, which means it is not a agent booked ticket, and my wife is a Secretary from Co-op Bank here in Thrissur, she is a responsible identity as a women, they started abusing her and saying bad wards towards her when she argued, and insulted us in spite of showing all the required documents in front of the passengers in the compartment. I requested them to find out if there is any genuine which you can allow us in my documents before slapping a fine on us or Rs.1200/- it is not a joke in spite of carrying a valid ticket, it a strange case of inhuman and abusing the passengers in front of a whole crowd along with the family. In fact, on the printout there is my mobile No.[protected], he could easily find out by just counter checking with my mobile by just giving missed call, to be little more practical and to be a passenger friendly approach just to confirm my number if it is correct. We felt all this ticket checking so funny, when we entered the train at Thrissur station immediately one TC came he checked the ticket and asked me for the ID proof as usual I showed him the same colour printout copy not the original and he blindly ticked the ticket and left, and the same railway authority the so called special code came and had all this mess, which means the previous ticket checker was a real practical person in fact a gentlemen, he also knows that passenger needs a original ID and of course he is not a fool, but he very much read the passenger and let it go that was what he did, I salute such kind of persons he is also a railway employee, but not a inhuman person like this. There are stupid lots in all the departments whose job is to just threaten and take the passengers towards the toilet portion of the train and ask for the bribe openly without any shame, but that did not worked with me and I said give me the receipt and I will see to it that if there is any good officer who can listen to my grievances. My wife told him if the railways are actually going with the rules and regulations than the first job before all this unwanted repeated ticket checking, special checking etc., the railways should make sure that the Indian railways the trains should not be a junk yard, which is not at all a place for a safe journey, if the railways are so keen to take the fine they also have the equal responsibility to give proper service to the passengers and not to fool the passengers for what they are being paid for traveling, we are frequent flight travelers but sorry to say we never had such a bitter experience while traveling and no problem even with the documents copy, they are much practical then railways. We also had a bitter experience that the window shutter fall down on my wife's hand even it was locked upward just by the shake of the train due the gap between the window and the lock, the reason is due to very old compartments, no cleaning as usual the tea and water was spilled all over the floor like a paste, which was not attended by any concern authorities in spite of frequent complains, and many more such incidents is happening ever now and then. Here we have not done any injustice by God’s sake, but we were crucified and forced to pay the fine, we request the good office to give us a proper explanation on the actual fine taken from us and please return the amount verifying if you feel genuine. We are very anxiously waiting to hear a favourable reply from a sincere point of view and taking into consideration the above facts, we are always ready to cooperate with railways at all times, but we has a passenger we need the equal support for railways and to do the needful. There is little information if I may provide of the concern ticket checker who harassed us Mr.K. Sridhar, ID No.2270, dtd.24-06-04, TTI/DCM S111, Divnl commercial Manager office, Trichinapilly Junction. Thanking you and looking forward to hear from the concern department soon, we also attach the receipt copy for your ready reference. Sincerely yours, Lawerence V.J. & Ceelia Lawrence

Dear Sir, I Purchased three tickets in Intercity Express, vide, no. 13465 for Journey from Nabadwip Dham (NDAE) to Malda Town (MLDT) along with my wife and daughter on[protected] against PNR no. [protected]. With regret at 5pm, today I came to learn that the said Train has been diverted through other route. This callous and indifferent attitude of the Railway Authority not only causes huge monetary loss of cancelling return reservation in train no. 13064 from MLDT to NDAE on[protected] along with onward reservation on[protected], but, my daughter is deprived of the opportunity to appear before the interview board of Gour Bonga University on[protected] for her admission to Ph.D course. I had to cancel reservation in Hotel Purbachal at Malda without any refund of advance. I do not understand why your office does not send SMS to the ticket purchaser when due to certain circumstances the Train is ought to have been either cancelled or route-diverted.

As per reason given by Central Railway ZONE for TDR Repudiate is Train Run Normal, but reason for filing TDR was all passengers did not travel as part tickets were confirmed that too in RAC (2 in RAC & other 4 in Wait list).

I commute by 47151 Falaknuma-Lingampally MMTS everyday for the past few years. Though the train regularly reaches its destination late by 10 -15 minutes it was manageable. But for the past couple of months it has become a routine that the train reaches its destination late by more than 45 -50 minutes. Not just that the trains start late from originating stations but the running time is also extended by a good amount of time. A journey of 1:15 hrs is regularly becoming 2:00 hrs. During the past two months, I had to apply for leave for reaching late to office on more than 10 occasions whereas, I should be early to office by a good 40 minutes if MMTS run in time. And the return journey is also pathetic as 47187 LPI-FLK departs in time but is made to wait without valid reason before entering all the stations from Begumpet to Secunderabad and quite often it is found that the platforms are vacant and there are no crossings. Its so embarrassing that MMTS services which were very much reliable till a few months back are becoming a nightmare everyday. The services are getting worse by every passing day and there's clear unhappiness in every commuter with MMTS. Many may not air their grievances through complaints as there is dissatisfaction among people about complaints being redressed. They doubt if the complaints are even read. It is evident that it is not a problem which could not be solved as things were much better till a few months back and they are getting worse due to lack of proper management. Also there is concern among commuters that SCR is deliberately discouraging commuters to travel by MMTS. If SCR doesn't improve at least to its past performance, passengers may some day teach a hard lesson to the management.

Is Indian Railway Making Money? "I was suppose to board Rajdhani Express Train No. 12953 on 30th of May 2015. Just Got an Sms from IRCTC stating: Train No. 12953 is cancelled by Railways. Pl cancel your PNR No. [protected] online to get refund as per Railway Rules. Ticket Cost Me INR 2104.94. So I cancelled the ticket. Got another SMS from IRCTC stating After cancellation Amount refunded will be INR 1540" Imagine, like me thousands of passengers were suppose to board the same train and everyone definitely going for cancellation process as instructed in SMS. WOW a good amount in Lakhs has been earned by Railways without even running the train. This is clear cheating with Passenger, if Railways have cancelled the train, they must refund the full amount to Passenger. Why Passenger will not get the full refund?

Outside Pune Railway station, there is parking place for 4 wheelers. On 27th May when we came from Railway platforms to parking space, we found that in front of our correctly parked car, another car was parked. When we asked parking authority about this, they told that they didn't have the key of the car. We struggled to bring out our car from the parking slot somehow but couldn't. In this struggle some portion of our car dashed against stone wall. Parking authority allow valet parking and park the cars in pathway such that other cars can't be removed. If any car has to be removed, parking persons struggle to take out the car to make way for others. We had a frustrating situation where the keys of car which was parked in front of our car, blocking our way, wasn't with the parking authority. After wasting 1 hours, we got some way around when some other car was moved. Parking authority only take parking charges but don't handle traffic appropriately.

To begin with i want to know whether a parcel (Splendour bike of Hero Honda) is denied to be booked from any station? Because i was denied on jalandhar cantt station to Nasik Road saying that the train halts only for two minutes here. The train was Amritsar- Lokmanya Tilak Terminal Express. I was sent to jalandhar city for booking where the again denied to book the parcel saying the same reason. I had to go back to cantt station were they still denied. Each station staff was blaming the other. I was not given any proper information and made to go here and there. Finally i met the station superintendent of Jalandhar City station and he asked the parcel booking staff (both parcel and luggage booking staff) to book my bike. Later when i went to book my bike, the staff was angry on me and screamed "Dont you understand what we said? Your parcel will not be booked without ticket. The train has two min stoppage here and therefore you have to book it in luggage ticket. Why did you complaint about us?" I had to purchase an another ticket of general class which i was again denied by the ticket office because the previous day train had already left. They said me to bring in written from the parcel office and the parcel office denied it again. I had to bring the ticket from some other vendor with extra charges. Finally my parcel was booked for Rs. 2620/- and i was asked another 300/- for uploading the bike to train for which i wont get any receipt. I denied to pay the money in black and then he asked me to leave saying that we will upload the bike when we want. The date of booking was 21/05/2015 and the receipt no. is 560012. The parcel office has not uploaded my bike on time just because i refused to pay 300/- Also while booking the bike from Nasik Road to Jalandhar Cantt. i did in 2350/- in January 2015. Why is the other side charge high? Kindly guide me through this and resolve the issue. Thanking You.
