Indian Railways Complaints & Reviews

Realy the service of isrtc is very badddd.

Dear Sir,

Realy im very much thank you for consider myself as one me is a isrtc vendor and given that oppoutunity to me for surve our nation.I will treat the passengers very well through my service of selling the foods in isrtc channels.

Realy im assuring about my quality of food with reasonable rates and pacify every passengers.I will give the receipies with traditional taste with excellent hygienic.

Once again i thank you for giving that great chance to serve isrtc.

Recently I had to travel to Bengaluru for a visit to my daughter and son. I booked an on line railway ticket on 27.09.2014 at 8.04 Hrs.for Journey Date 08.10.2014 from Nagpur to Bengluru by 02682 Varanasi Mysore premium train vide PNR no. [protected]. To my surprise I had to pay fare of Rs. 2270 + surcharge Rs. 22.47 + PG Charges whereas fare was displaying as Rs. 1950. I was among the very first to book the ticket. Indian Railways being a Public service Organization is expected to gear up for Festival seasons to run more trains rather than exploiting Travelling population by taking advantage of their monopolistic position.
Similarly I had to pay fare of Rs. 2315 + surcharge Rs. 22.47 + PG Charges for my return Journey on a ticket booked on 04.10.2014 (very first day on which booking opened) at 08.03 Hrs for Journey Date 19.10.2014 by 02681 Mysore Varanasi premium train vide PNR no. [protected].
I don’t know if some PIL can be filed in court or not.
On both occasion Food was Horrible and was not supplied according to Menu. Same food was supplied in Lunch and Dinner. Frequent complaints to[protected] failed to bring any results. Rather Officials responsible for addressing Complaints seems to be defending Caterer. Few photographs of kitchen is attached. Food was supplied in paper plates and catering staff refused to clean the coach. Coaches were not cleaned even once during the entire Journey. My complaint ref ID[protected] remained unattended.
Now a public service organization is exploiting Travelling population by taking advantage of their monopolistic position. What about people women, Kids old alike, who suffered during this journey. Any way to force railways to compensate travelling population

Could you please provide information of EX1 coach.

For superfast trains there are little number of coaches General Category. How the people will sit, by having little number of Seats. Its the request of lakhs of people you know, because it is very dangerous to go like that having little coaches, seats.
The Railway Official will go or sit in the coaches. The seats, coaches having full of dirt. It is one of Sin to the Railway.
So i kindly requesting you to arrange Many Coaches, like Reservation Coaches.
In the General Compartments the people sit on any place, what they get, some times, not only some times many, so many times people are hanging to the doors. Like City Buses, but it is very dangerous Na.

Many people are die while the Journey like this. The Vendors in the coaches will theft many items. they are the not recognized one. so dont allow the private vendors into the coaches.
Please provide Many general coaches, like reservation coaches. the people who will be travel in the General Coach, they are not the MAD PEOPLE. The Railway is Treating like MAD PEOPLE. WHO ARE IN THE COACHES, GENERAL. THEY ARE CHARGING THE CHARGE FROM US. BUT THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING SEATS. WHY IT IS HAPPENING LIKE THIS. IT MUST BE SERIOUS TO SAY. PLEASE THE OFFICIAL OR UN OFFICIAL fight against this SYSTEM.WE WANT THE SEATS, WE ARE PURCHASING TICKETS. YOU HAS TO PROVIDE SEATS.
Thanking you,

The services provided in Rajdhani Express is very poor. I was traveling from New Delhi to Howrah in HWH Rajdhani Express on 31st dec'09. What I found that the staffs of IRCTC were serving us the foods and beverages were of very poor qualities. The dinner they provide us was very cold foods and were also in a state of not taking as a meal. They don't even clean the coaches for single time during the whole journey and the coach was full of wastes and dirts. it was an awesome journey experience for me.

Indian Railways — Demanding for bribe

Dear sir,

Had purchased a 2nd class ticket at villivakkam(chennai) station Destination ( villivakkam to vijayawad) for pinagini exp,
form vilivakkam station i got a local train but unfortunatally got in to 1st class, ticket check came near Basin Bridge station and asked me the ticket, where i had showm the ticket ie the ticket no is[protected] from villivakkam to vijayawada,
she said that u should not get into first class pay Rs 500/-
at that time i am having 100/- only, she told me that i[censored]r not having money u have to come to court and pay 2000/-, she had taken me near RPF office and told them that i am not ready to pay the amt, , they had suggested to talk to lady only,

She came near me and asking to give 200/- without fine, i said that i am having only 100/-, i will give u 100/- write fine, then she worte fine or Rs 100/- for carrying excus lugguage and my recepit No is 567613(local)

i want to know the fine for this case,

and also pls take necessary action on that ticket collecter

What actions taken against all these complaints given by consumers??

Indian Railways — Bribe demand

Dear Sir,

I wish to bring to your kind knowledge that one of the staffs(TT) Sh O.P. Srivastava serving in route from Gorakhpur to Lucknow is demanding unauthorized money from passengers. And he has made his right to do so.

From several cases infront of my eyes while undertaking journey from Gorakhpur to Lucknow (by Gorakhpur-Lucknow intercity on 13.08.2010), I wish to describe my case to you where he thretened me to throw out of train and even put in jail, and then demanded for Rs. 500. My fault was only that I was carrying an e-ticket along with a photo I card in which my adress was given of my village.

Also, he collected money from several other passengers of the same coach. And after every collection he stated that this all is not mine, rather it is all demanded from our management and ministers and I am only a small chain link of this system.

These kind of people do all the damage to the image and interest of the system and government. And they should be enquired and scrutinized by any outside agency or any senior officer of Railways to help to believe sufferrers like me that we are trying to filter out our system for improvement.

Indian Railways — BRIBE

As per the rules every technical staff has to be at least transferred once from his joining place to elsewhere, during his entire service period.
But Mr.Pradeep Sinha, a staff of Tikiapara carshed, Howrah, had never been transferred. He is going to retire on 31st Oct.10. Whenever the questions of posting to different places came, he stopped that by paying bribe to seniors.
The said incident is ultimately loosing the reputations of Railways and morale of fellow employees.

Mr Pillai,
I have a similar problem which I want to take corrective action. In my case the TTE forced me to pay first AC fare and made me travel in third Ac and did not even give me a tcket. Which means he pocketed the money.
Did you lodge a formal compalint? And did the railways respond? Please advise me at [protected]@hotmail.com .

Sir regarding this i have sent all the hard copies of both certificates to Sri Sukumar Sanki Vigilance Officer kolkata and Sri Swapan Kumar Das, Chief Vigilance Officer kolkata with a application of all correct information.

Sir, but According to vigilance officers kolkata, i have to declare my name and address. sir i want to know, if any person will inform to VIG. railway about any corruption, it means he has to declare himself, but as i heard that VIG. railway interests to take information about the corruption, not about informer. And sir i said earlier that the candidate know me very well and if i will declare my name he mat disturb me in future. If vigilance officers wants, again i can post all the documents, then way railway wants to know who am i.

Sir i have received 3 E-Mails by Sri Sukumar Sanki Vigilance Officer kolkata and Sri Swapan Kumar Das, Chief Vigilance Officer kolkata. in all E-Mails they wants to know about my self, but not interested in hard copies which i have sent 4th times.

Sir i am waiting for any press conferences conduct by ministry of railway and then i will ask the same question to RLY officers, that if any one want to inform about corruption in railway, then is it necessary to declare his name or can it is possible that any person inform to railway about corruption without declaring his name. if the answer will be no, it is not necessary, than i will show this E-Mail, and i will ask, why VIG officers kolkata wants to know who am i. And i will published all this events as articals in news paper.

HI,

My Sister is also cancer patient ans she is also facing the same problem while travellin from PAtat (GUjrat) to MUMBAI. At ticket counter or Ticket incharge are rejecting the form for concession booking for cance r patients. They are saying this is not the valid for and when we asked to provide correct forms, they are very arogent to response that their duty is to provide only tickets and not the forms. They do not have sample form to Show. This is CALLED as GOVERMENT EMPLOYEE's attitude. Very Unhappy to interact with these people specially at patan railway station.
we are taking the form downloaded from Indianraiway site i.e http://www.indianrail.gov.in/APPENDI1.pdf
The form no is 1/17. Everytime she has to pay full tickets. Will Goverment only declear the concessions and not to forward the instruction to all station ticket counters.

Sir,

I am a regular traveller between Bangalore and Mysore. Normaly I take train from banalore in morning time and comeback night. All these days I used to take ticket 2 or 3 days in advnace sothat I can avoid coming to the station about an hour early in morning to take ticket. During this time more than 4 to 6 trains are departing to various places and eventhough more than 6to 7 counters are there, each counter will be crowded with morethan 100 people. Our house is about 15 kms from station and to catch train of 6.25am I have to be there at the counter before 5.30am. So I have to leave my house atlease 4.30 am in the morning. At this time no local buses will be there. Last week when I went for taking the advance ticket I was surprised to know that advance tickets will not be given for less than 200km. This is very much problematic. Pl. make it atleast 100km instead of 200km. This will be very much helpful to hundreds of regular travelers between Bangalore and Mysore. Hope you do the needful.
