IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) is the Indian Railway Service authority which manage all types journey and passenger rail service of India.In earlier days IRCTC had not much online services for both ticketing and tracking status.
However IRCTC has now the most advanced online ticketing system.You can visit IRCTC official website to know train status,departure time,booking ticket and seat reservation.
Since India is one of the most populated nations of the world you will never get jam free reservation.You must have to wait for normal reservation and for confirmed ticket.This reservation process may take time more than of your expectation.People who lose their patience and want to cancel ticket they can do it from the reservation counter only.
Here I must say IRCTC never steal your money,but follow certain rules which may take long time to refund.Here I will mention some of the most common refund issues which passengers often claim.You can claim refund against these terms :
