IRCTC common issues : Money deducted. Ticket not booked

IRCTC common issues : Money deducted. Ticket not booked

Traveel advisor provides the clear idea about how your money is refunded for the failure transactions in IRCTC.

We always face the problem of slowness in IRCTC site. Sometime it happens when we enter all the details in Payment gateway. We may get the error 'Service unavailable'.

But by that time we would have got the SMS from the bank saying your money is debited for the txn. Dont be panic. Nothing to worry. IRCTC is a genius website which takes care of all there exception situations. IRCTC refunds the money correctlty for the tickets which are not booked.

Yes. Your money will be credited back if your ticket is not booked. If you face this situation first you need to check your Booking history to ensure your ticket is booked or not.

If it is booked no problem you can go ahead with your travel. If not, go to  
My tranactions > Refund status of Failure Transaction .

There your failed transactions are listed. The Pay status will be 'Payment initiated' against your transaction id. After 3 days this status will be changed to 'Payment settled' if your money is debited but ticket is not booked. 'Settlement failed' status will be shown if your money is not debited and ticket also not booked.

If you click on the link on Transaction Id you can get the details about refund in Refund status.

    1. I got the same then i wrote to irctc here is the reply from irctc
      Dear Customer,


      We deeply regret for the inconvenience caused to you in this regard. As your payment status for TXN 0984583577 was not communicated by the Payment gateway in time, the ticket booking did not materialize. After reconciliation if the amount is found debited, the same will be processed at Payment Gateway for refund. We ensure that the refund will be made at the earliest.



      Thanks & Regards
