Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Railway reservation - 'no coach/seat' provided in train against my confirmed reservation ticket

I, mr. Dipak sen booked an confirmed e-tkt on 131-up / sdah mfp fast passenger from sealdah to durgapur as on journey date 06-09-2010 against pnr no. [protected] and trasaction id : [protected] from my a/c of irctc on line tkt reservation system. Further my booking status : confirm; coach : sl1; seat no.: 11/ws. But to my surprise, at the time of boarding in the train, I found that 'there is no reservation coach/ portion of a coach whre I can get my reserved seat to do the journey. I also informed the matter to the on-duty guard of the train, but found a more helpless condition of the person who informed me that 'the said train is running with only gs coaches and no reserved coach or porion of a coach to find my seat against which I booked the confirmed tkt from irctc. The guard, certified the fact on my electronic reservation slip with his signature & date with the endorsement "as per vg, all gs coach".

Now, as a result of the above situation, I had to take a lot of tension, time loss and pain to reach to my destination, i.e., durgapur by alternate means making huge unexpected expenditure and moreover I had to suffer a lot in respect of my service by not being able to report on duty prior an all india strike day having my responsibilities of being an executive in an india govt. Enterprise.

Therefore, I do hereby request you to do the following at the earliest, please.
1) refund my reservation amount for which I was not provided any reserved seat against my booking.

2) intimate me the reason behind such an unexpected, unwarranted harrassment with an bonafide passenger on 'indian railways'.

3) how the irctc authority is going to compensate towards my 'losses' in respect of money, time and above all damage to my service due to the above stated situation.

I expect that, the concerned authority would respond to my genuine complaint within a reasonable and justified time and take the proper measures to compensate the victim of 'non-compliance of promised services after taking payment for the same'

Thanking you and waiting for your reply,

Dipak sen

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Indian railway is the perfect example of irresponsible government department where no one seems to accountable or concern of customer complaint

While booking the ticket (on 6th April 2009) the on line berth status from Jaipur to BDTS was shown available and from Ajmer to BDTS it was 11 waiting. So to get a confirm ticket I booked from Jaipur to BDTS (which was shown as available) and boarding at Ajmer. This transaction has cost me Rs. 26/- extra fair per head, since it was from Jaipur to BDTS and not Ajmer to BDTS. But when ticket was finally generated it has allotted me waiting number starting from 11 in spite of charging full fair from Jaipur to BDTS.

I have been shown confirm seats at time of booking of ticket but when finally ticket was generated after payment, I have got waiting number. Infact seats were available even after booking the ticket, so why your system has generated waiting number on my ticket has not been look by your department till now. This is the perfect case of fraud under Information Technology Act 2000.

I had immediately emailed the above described complaint but except for acknowledgment I have received no response from rail official and now nearly one month has passed.

Indian railway is the perfect example of irresponsible government department where no one seems to accountable or concern of customer complaint in spites of several communication I have not received any response from railway. My several attempt to communicate to customer care service over phone call has prove infructuous, the personnel only want some how get rid of call instead of resolving the matter.

Ya i agree to you Harish, but my concer here is that, isn't this decision of restricting the authorized agents from doing tatkal bookings online going to motivate the dalals & touts to indulge in unfair practices & illegal activities. this is going to hurt IRCTC badly going ahead. also its currently affecting the common people in getting their tickets booked.

I guess you might have gone to an authorized agent. Ideally as per rules and regulation of IRCTC an authorised agent should chanrge not more than Rs 20 for a ticket. If they do so IRCTC will take strict action against them. I have been frequently travelling and book tickets from my nearby Kirana store who is an authorized railway agent. He has always been helpful in providing rail tickets to me. It has saved a lot of my time as i dont have to go and stand at the window counter or go to an unauthorised agent and pay high charges. now there is a news that even Agents wont be able to book the Tatkal tickets between 8:00 am to 9:00 am. I suppose its gonna create so many problems for the general public to get tickets in Crises Situations.

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] DEACTIVATING USER ID WITHOUT INTIMATION/WARNING/ASKING FOR CLARIFICATIONS

I was new to computer & internet and as such I had registered my name with IRCTC with several user IDS within a span ranging from one week to one year.However, once I got reasonably familiear with computer & internet, I started using 'jagan-uma' as the user id since middle of 2008.On 22.03.2010, when I tried to book my ticket with IRCTC online passenger reservation website, I could not log in and I tried various options like the 'forgot password hint questions & answers but in vain.Ultimately, I sent e-mails to IRCTC and to my shock, I had a message that my user ID has been deactivated and that even the e-tickets booked could be cancelled by IRCTC.This is unfair in that IRCTC could have sent a warning message that I should not have registered moe than once with my e-mail ID or should have given me an opportunity to explain/plead my ignorance as to why I had created so may ids with my e-mail id.

2.I had advised IRCTC the various IDS I had registered with them and requested to cancel/deactivate all user IDS except the one I have been using for the past 1 1/2 years ie jagan-uma'. I do not get any reasonable response from IRCTC in that while my user id has been 'jagan-uma' with whice I have been booking e-tickets with IRCTC, now they say they donot find any such user id in their records and advise me to give case sensitive user ID. I am sure that my user ID with IRCTC is 'jagan-uma' only and to substantiate that I append below the communication received from IRCTC .
Dear Jagannathan Samarao,

4. I have to undertake a journey on 20.04.2010 from Coimbatore to Bangalore and I presume that IRCTC has cancelled that ticket since I am not able to take a printout frm my Gmail message received from IRCTC on booking of e-ticket.

Please treat the matter as MOST URGENT and address my problems.I had made my representaions to the undernoted officials of the IRCTC ie [protected]@rediffmail.com, [protected]@rediffmail.com etc. I would have sent at least about 15 messages since 22.03.2010 but has not received any posotive progress except asking me to confirm that I have furnished the correct case sensitive user id 'jagan-uma' which frustrates me.

Yours faithfully,

S JAGANNATHAN

But since then I have called up at their office and e-mailed 5 or 6 times but i haven't got back the amount.

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] Website deliberately slow at 8:00am

What is going on with IRCTC? The irctc website shows "service unavailable", specifically during 8:00am to 8:30am quite regularly.

The excuse of server load can't be accepted as if the authorities weren't aware of the load while designing the site.
Specially for TATKAL bookings, its quite natural to have such load.

I smell foul play in this,
is that a tool to book all the TATKAL tickets before offering it to public?Its really pathetic to see that.
We need an updated-redefined website, is any one listening...?

between (8 am to 9 am) because by making big traffic by the agent and brokers because they have high speed internet.

I believe the railway authorities have deliberately made the site to work very slow from 8 to 8 .45 a.m. only to allow its agents to have a prior chance to book their tickets before the site starts accepting the requests from the common public by that time the Tatkal tickets would have been completely booked or about to be completely booked. If this is the case, we should raise our objections to protect the interest of the common man who is generally at the receiving end by such motives.

I agree to this post.This site is pathetic..Really no body is taking care of this problem.

We need to raise our voice for these all activities.In case of emergency how we can travel if tatkal is also not avalilable due to these type of activities.

And the agent is doing business on this.In matro city its really hard to find reservation.If we think to get tickets from stations, We can not even see the croud of people and all are "AGENT".

I strongly agree to above post. The site is down during regular hours. This problem started very recently only. Is there any provision for lodging a formal complaint against this?
I think this problem is a result of some conspiracy between the ticket agents and railway authority. Even in ticket booking corruption is evident.

Nowadays, the site is not opening even during regular hours.. not only the 8 to 8.30..
IRCTC site has become one of the worst site ever..

We are still not in some stone age where we book tickets standing in a long queue for hours... This is modern age where every individual, Organisation should stand upto support the standard of living...

This is shame on a Govt run organisation, where people never work with current technology, they are still working on same old paper, glue & stapler... Along with the freebies given for wooing voters, they could standardise/ modernise all the govt run organisation... if not possible, just privatise it...

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] First Class and Railway Employees

Hi,

I very much agree that its good that Railway employees hold the privilege to travel free of cost in first class compartments, but it should not make the passengers suffer. I'm a civil engineer working at Chennai and I traveled by West Coast Express to Salem on 22.08.09. I traveled along with my brother and sister. we three were allotted berths at coach F1, compartment H. We all are working and we worked late night and so opted first class to have a comfortable journey. But when we entered our compartment there were already two railway employees. After they got down at Arakkonam we decided to sleep and spread our berths. suddenly three employees came and wanted us to sit. They claimed that they too hold first class pass to travel. Yes they may have, but what right do they have to disturb a passenger who has a reserved ticket?

They told that sleeping time is only 9pm to 6am and so we should allow them to sit. Who are they to decide our sleeping time? We paid Rs. 460 each to have a comfortable journey. they pay nothing and behave as if they are the authority to decide whether we should sleep or not. After a great conversation they said they will get down in one hour and we shall sleep. But every station some one or the other got into the compartment and we traveled as if we are traveling in Chennai city bus. At Jolarpet a total family got in and spreaded out all over compartment. They too asked why should we sleep in day time.

What is this? Can you see this elsewhere all around the world? Can people just like that get into a reserved compartment and disturb the passengers just because they are railway employees?

Of course, they shall travel in the first class but should look for a seat which is vacant or not booked by others. Even the TTRs doesn't seem to bother this. I'm really confused where to complain this.

Please help us to have a peaceful, comfortable journey.

On the day of travel, i.e. 28 May, 2008, I was informed by the Agra Railway station information counter that the train is delayed by more than 12 hours and finally got canceled. All the trains originating from Rajasthan on 28 May were late and were finally canceled due to the Gujjar protests. The Cancellation rule on the IRCTC website says:

If the train is marked as "CANCELLED" in PRS due to breaches, floods, accidents etc. full refund is permissible in case the ticket is canceled within three days of the scheduled departure of the train. In case of e-tickets, such cancellations can be done by the customer through Internet. Unfortunately, my travel plans got impacted due to the train cancellation and I had to cancel the ticket online. Not to mention the discomfort and distress the change of plans and extra money for the new reservation at the last moment caused. As per the cancellation rules full refund needs to be made when the train is canceled.

Surprisingly, I have been refunded Rs. 264/- less under the transaction id [protected].

I am unable to understand on what account Rs. 264/- has been deducted, when the train was canceled. More so, the per ticket cancellation charge is 60/- only and I had 2 confirmed tickets, so, logically only 120/- should have been deducted. Truly, IRCTC seems to be flouting the Indian Railways cancellation rules and do not provide any explanation also after repeated requests.

After sending several reminders at [protected]@irctc.co.in also no one has bothered to reply until date. Truly, we are officially taken for a ride by a government agency.

God Bless IRCTC customers.
