Understanding the waiting ticket rule

Confirmed ticket requirement: Confirmed tickets are necessary to travel by train. Indian Railways provides a provision for passengers with waiting tickets.

Types of waiting tickets:

Window waiting ticket: If you have a waiting ticket purchased from the window of the railway station, you can still travel by train.

Online waiting tickets: Online waiting tickets are not valid for travel if you do not have a confirmed seat. These tickets can be canceled and refunded only if they are not confirmed.

Travel with window waiting tickets:

During festivals: If you have a window waiting ticket, you can board the train. The Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) cannot stop you from traveling.

Available seats: If there are any vacant seats, you can request the TTE to allow you to sit on one of them.

Action for online waiting tickets: If you only have an online waiting ticket, it is important to know that it will not be valid for travel.
