Indian Railways refund: We always prefer to book our Indian Railways train tickets in advance using Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website irctc.co.in. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, many of us have to cancel the ticket either on or before the journey day.  It also happens that your money gets deducted while booking the ticket but the ticket does not get booked. In that case, you need to keep the transaction number with you. If the money did not get deposited back into your account within 5 to 7 days, you can mail the IRCTC at care@irctc.co.in or you can tweet to their official Twitter handle @IRCTCofficial or to @RailwaySeva. You can also call on IRCTC helpline number 0755-6610661 , 0755-3934141 (Language: Hindi and English).
