Ticket not booked but money deducted.

1. If a passenger has opted for a particular berth at the time of booking and ticket not booked due to the choice of berth not available or due to the failure in the network may create a situation of ‘payment settled but ticket not booked’. In this case, IRCTC reverses the amount which is credited back on the next day to the respective bank. However, the bank may take 2 to 3 days to credit back the amount in the bank account through which booking was done.

2. In case there is a system or network failure at banks end or at the payment gateway before remitting ticket booking amount to IRCTC may form a situation of ‘settlement failed and ticket not booked’. In such occurrences, IRCTC doesn’t receive any amount due to the settlement failure. The amount is with the bank. The bank will refund the money after due verification.

Just check the bank account or failed transaction history after login in IRCTC. A duration of 7 days has been prescribed by irctc for refund. Mostly within 2 or 3 days the refund is done.

If this is happening again and again. If you use the  irctc app, your problem will be reduced.

Tata Harrier BS6

 

BS6 TATA HARRIER

The Harrier automatic has been launched with prices ranging between Rs 16.25 lakh and Rs 20.25 lakh

· 

·         The automatic gearbox is available in all variants except the base-spec XE and mid-spec XT.

·         It gets new features like a panoramic sunroof, auto-dimming IRVM, ESP, and a powered driver seat.

·         The 2.0-litre diesel engine is now BS6 compliant and produces 30PS more at 170PS.

·         Expect the new XZ+ manual variant to be priced at a premium of Rs 1.5 lakh over the current top-spec XZ.

·         Automatic variants are likely to cost around Rs 1 lakh more than their manual counterparts.

More features that better justify the price tag, more power and an automatic gearbox. Tata’s Harrier is entering the new decade with confident footing. Let’s dig deeper into what’s changed, and if it’s changed for the better. 

In addition to offering newer 17-inch alloy wheels (what was arguably the only chink in its unique design), Tata has given the Harrier little tweaks. There’s a rather intense shade of red on offer now that brings out the Harrier’s size, and a few tasteful dabs of chrome on the front and rear bumpers. Do note, though, that the chrome is an optional extra as an accessory pack. Owing to feedback from existing owners Tata has trimmed the size of the blindspot-causing outside rearview mirrors too.

But the biggest change is something you’d appreciate once you’re inside the cabin. Yep, with the 2020 update, the Harrier now gets a full-size panoramic sunroof. Reserved for the top-spec XZ+ variant, this gigantic slab of glass also gets a nifty ‘rain-sensing close’ function. If you’ve left it open mistakenly while exiting the car, hitting lock on the remote key closes it. Very handy. Tata could’ve configured a global open function too (for the windows along with the sunroof) — that would have proved helpful to let hot air out of the car.

 

Nonetheless, there’s now some added convenience for the driver in the form of a 6-way adjustable powered driver’s seat (lumbar adjust is still manual), and there’s an auto-dimming IRVM on offer too. Smaller updates come in the form of better accessibility for the USB and AUX ports at the front, and an additional USB port in the central armrest. We’re happy to see that all USB ports support Quickcharge 3.0. 

The rest of the Harrier’s cabin remains the same. This includes some well thought out features like an 8.8-inch touchscreen (that now gets new themes) paired with a punchy JBL sound system, a 7-inch screen in the instrument cluster, cruise control and leatherette upholstery. That’s pretty much all you’d want. But considering you will spend over Rs 20 lakh for the top-spec version, features like a tyre pressure monitoring system (that’s now available on the Nexon), rear sun blinds, a powered tailgate and ambient lighting would’ve been nice to have. 

There’s no step up in cabin quality either, but the Harrier didn’t need it to begin with. And, yes, the minor bugbears including that of the left knee fouling with the centre console, front central armrest placed too far back and sub-par video feed from the reverse parking camera remain. Expectedly, there’s no change in how accommodating the Harrier’s cabin and boot is either. It’s still among the best five-seater SUVs in terms of space.  

While no one really wished for more oomph from the FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel, Tata’s gone ahead with it anyway. Torque output remains unchanged at 350Nm, but power sees a sizeable 30PS jump. Claimed efficiency for the manual takes a negligible hit (16.35kmpl vs 16.70kmpl of the BS4), whereas the automatic claims to deliver 14.63kmpl.
