I have booked railway ticket for the journey form chalakudi to calicut on 13 th april 2018 with pnr number [protected] for train number16307 through irctc web site for 2 person (160 rupees)
Ticket was under waiting list and never confirmed.
So after chart preparation the ticket was automatically canceler by railway.
They only reimburse 40 rupees instead of 160 rupees and i forced to take new ticket for the passenger.
Railway is looting the people on waiting list ticket.
Please take necessary steps to stop this.

    Dear Sir,

    I have requested the TDR for the PNR No.: [protected]. And I received the mail regarding rejection of TDR as the passenger has travelled as per the chart which is completely wrong. I haven't boarded the train. Either the ticket collector has not checked properly or is not doing the duty properly in trains getting late.

    I request you to kindly reopen the TDR and also put an inquiry into it.

    On the same day same time I took another train with PNR No.: [protected]. How the same person can travel in two trains at the same time. I am attaching the ticket snapshot.

    Regards,
    Tabish

      I have requested the tdr for the pnr no.: [protected]. And i received the mail today regarding rejection of tdr as the passenger has travelled as per the chart which is completely wrong. I haven't boarded the train as it was more that 6-7 hrs late. Either the ticket collector has not checked properly or is not doing the duty properly in trains getting late.

      I request you to kindly reopen the tdr and also put an inquiry into it.

          I happened to travel in rajadhani express yesterday pnr:[protected], trn:12432, doj:14-05-18, 3a
          B5 30, b5 31,
          Fare:6360
          An awful experience it was.
          Charging 6360 for 3rd a/c ticket and giving such a bad service is condemnable
          The food served was stale
          The quality of everything served was pathetic
          The blanket n sheet provided were damp
          And most importantly the toilets were extremely dirty
          It seems as if the toilets weren’t cleaned for months
          There was no water in the washroom
          My fellow passengers conveyed their dissatisfaction to the tt, as well as called up the canteen manager and wrote a negative feedback in his feedback book

          I would request the concerned authority to look up to the matter seriously and do the needful
          Thanking you

          जयपुर रेलवे स्टेशन पर मैने एक रेल नीर की बोत्तल खरीदी । स्टेशन ठेला केंटीन वाले ने ऊपर ठेले में नई बोत्तल सजा रखी और मैने मांगी तब नीचे बर्फ के कैरट से एक बोत्तल मुझे दी ।
          जो कि बिना सील पैक थी और साथ ही पीने पर पता चला यह सादा मोरा पानी है ।
          मेने बोत्तल बदलने को कहा तो मन कर दिया

                      I filed TDR 5-6 hr before train departure.

                      Now Indian railway is writing to me that as per WESTERNRailway citing that “Train not more than 3 hours Late.Actual
                      Departure Date/Time at Source is '[protected]:35' and Schedule Departure Date/Time at Source is '03-
                      [protected]:12'”.

                      what is point in writing weather train started in time.
                      Should we then wait till last minute to hope train will start in time despite of message from railway.

                            The e-tkt cancellation refund processed into wrong account and has not been resolved even after repeated request.
                            As per the irctc confirmation refund against pnr number [protected] /irctc transaction id [protected], an amount of rs. 12260.0 has been processed as per below details:
                            Date of cancellation of e-ticket/date of failure of e-ticket booking:01-may-2018
                            Refund processing date:04-may-2018
                            Refund amount:12260.0
                            Refund reference no:85215228124817167924015

                            I have checked my account details from which the payment has been made of rs 13100 for booking the above rail tkt bearing pnr number [protected]. Please help resolve the issue. I believe the refund has been processed to the wrong account by irctc.

                              Hi,

                              Yesterday i came to hospet passenger from birur to bangalore (Train no 56910). My waiting list is 1 but unable to find ticket collector in none of the coaches. Passengers are literally struggling for seats but ticket collector is not available. I don't know how irctc will schedule or preparing chart without ticket collector.
                              Kindly take necessary action for the same.
                              This won't repeat again.

                                But amount is not get back. It's around 5 days past.

                                Attached screenshot - i tried many times to irctc helpline number. But there is no response from their side. Either phone is busy or no one received the phone.

                                  Delay for 6 hours of train in a fine summer day resulted in rejection from army ssb to let me attended it:

                                  I had my ssb for army today (13/05/2018), i had planned and prepared everything to give my best in the interview, but on the day of train departure (12/05/2018) i received a message that the train is delayed by 4 hours, i was worried that how will attend my ssb, then as the trains timing to reach the station was 02:30 am in the night so i thought it might cover some hours and reach before 6 o'clock, so that i would be able to attend easily or may i would be able to convince the officers for delay.

                                  But what happen really, the train came at the delayed right time but it kept on delaying, it was suppose to reach by 6 30 by the exact delay time but it got late by 5 and half hour late and reached at 8 o'clock,.

                                  My reporting time was 6 o'clock and the train was actually going to reach at 02:30 am at the same day.

                                  So i what the hell happened, i rushed towards the centre i tried to convince them but they didn't here a word as i was two hour and half hour late and not merely half or even one hour late.

                                  I had to come back from the gate of my future, this is acceptable as this is caused due to indian railways negligence of trains, how does indian railway gets a right to delay the train by 6 hours on summers without any technical issues or even weather issues. I had to stay back on a hotel (800 rupees) and which results in even more waste of my hard earned money.

                                  I need the refund my every penny i wasted here due to indian railway and also an apology which states that it was mistake from irctc and not the candidate so i can take that to army next time.

                                  This is really pathetic from indian railways that a person has to reach a destination a day before just because we can't trust railways to their work correctly.

                                  Details of train:
                                  Train:11071, doj:12-05-18, 3a, ltt-bpl, dep:12:40,

                                    I would be happy if i get new user id and password emailed me on following email id [protected]@gmail.com.

                                    I have forgotten the user id and password for irctc login.

                                    I had created this login way before and never used it. Now i need to use this login for booking my ticket so please provide me with the new user id and password with respect to the email id [protected]@gmail.com

                                    Thanking you.

                                      Hello team,

                                      This is regards to online ticket booking issue. It has been repeatedly observed tatkal tickets unable for ranichennamma express all time. We observed every festival or weekend this is major. We are unable to book tatkal. North karnataka we are running with one train rani chennamma express is the only train more convenient for travel between sbc to bgm. But stupidity every time we try to book train on weekend or festival either server unavailable or seat status shows not available or we end-up with hell out money stuck in transaction failed. Otp woun't come ontime. It's not only my issue, hundreds of people having same issue. Irctc / indian rail quickly start another train between miraj to sbc vice-versa. I think irctc loop holes are more someone / team hacking. Please i want justification. I am very sure there is big corruption involved either by agents or railway staffs.
