Indian Railway Waiting Ticket: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav answered the question asked about waiting tickets in Rajya Sabha. In response to a written question, he said that traveling in reserved coach with waiting ticket is unauthorized. However, he also said that the railway pass does not have the details of such passengers. Traveling in reservation and AC coach with waiting ticket is not valid. After this statement of the Railway Minister, questions started arising in the minds of the people that is it no longer possible to travel by train with waiting ticket? Will the waiting ticket taken from the counter also become invalid now? We are telling the answers to some such questions.
According to the 2010 circular of the Railways, only persons with confirmed and partially confirmed (RAC) seats can travel in reserved coaches. That is, if you have a confirmed ticket or your waiting ticket has become RAC, then you can travel comfortably by sitting on your seat in the reservation coach of the train.
Can I travel with a waiting ticket purchased from the counter?
Often this question arises in the minds of people that if they have bought a ticket from the ticket counters of the railway station, can they travel in the train with that waiting ticket.
