Oops…! Isn’t Your Ticket Confirmed…???

Leave a comment

Check your ticket confirmed or not.

Want to know, how to check in case your ticket booked is been confirmed or not? The quickest way to check if the train ticket is booked or not or what is the current status that your ticket holds, is checking out the PNR status. There are so many ways to check PNR status, using websites, mobile app and many others and it is a matter of seconds only to know about the real status of the ticket. No matter, which method you are choosing to check the PNR status, the only thing that is required is to enter in the PNR number and click on the status message and in seconds, it will be known if the booked ticket is confirmed, wait listed or RAC. In case, your ticket is not confirmed, you can try getting the ticket for other date of travel or try getting in tatkal quota. If you are lucky and on time, might be in tatkal class, you get the train ticket. PNR number is always generated, irrespective of whichever status it is holding. It is a unique 10 digit number that is generated once you book a ticket online, so use the same for knowing about the real status.

Are you in waiting list…?

Every time you find the letters “WL” on your ticket, you will get to know that it’s time to test your patience…! The grater the number which follows these letters, the longer could be the waiting. If you didn’t plan in advance for your train journey, there are good chances that your ticket can fall under waiting list. You have to wait until the passengers who booked prior to you cancel their tickets. However, the railways’ new scheme entitled “Vikalp Yojna,” which was enforced in November, can bring in some comfort in this context.

What is the scheme all about…?

If the ticket of the passenger is not confirmed, this scheme allows the passengers to travel with a confirmed ticket in the next scheduled trains on the same route. Initially, this was confined only to the passengers, who booked their tickets for mail and express trains online. An important point to note here is the railways aren’t charging the passengers for this service..! If you find any difference between the fares of two trains, you can claim the amount and the designated authorities will refund you. Isn’t this a great move…? Upon close observation, we can sense that this scheme isn’t favoring only the passengers but also the railways. The berths left out in the alternative trains can be filled up. All that you need to do in this context is to get familiar with the train time table and get to know about the alternative trains you can get.

Salient features:

Check out the rules of IRCTC Vikalp Scheme:

  • It is not mandatory that you will get a berth reserved for the next alternative, when you opt for this scheme. It is subjected to the train and its berth availability.
  • Though you will not be charged for this service, you have to bear the cancellation charges as per your train status or berth of alternative train.
  • Often, the boarding and terminating stations can be altered to nearby stations. You have to be prepared for that..!
  • The transfer can be made to any other train available within 12 hours from your scheduled train timings, in the same route.
  • Never ever forget to monitor your PNR status.
  • The booking quota and concession are of least importance under this scheme. All wait listing passengers fall under the common roof.
  • This scheme can be applied only on the request of the passenger.
  • If the wait listing passenger is allotted an alternative train, he/she can’t travel by their original train.
  • In rare circumstances, the passengers can be dropped or re-allotted, despite providing the alternative trains. Make sure to check the PNR status even after preparation of charts representing final status.
  • If you wish to cancel your ticket after allocating the alternative train, you have to pay the cancelation charges as you will be treated as a confirmed passenger.
  • The complete details of this scheme are detailed in the official website of Indian railways. The call centre (139) can readily answer your queries and guide you.

This new scheme has turned out to be sign of relief for the railway passengers. Make sure to take the complete advantage of it when you are travelling by train.

What is 10 digit PNR Number

What is a 10 digit PNR Number? PNR stands for Passenger Name Record, and it is a unique 10 digit number generated every time whenever a passenger books a ticket. It is generated irrespective of whether the ticket is confirmed or not. No matter, if your rail ticket is in waiting list, or in confirmed status, or in RAC, the 10 digit unique number will be generated every single time. One can see the PNR number at the top-left hand side of the ticket. Also, it is stored in the Indian Railways platform at the time it is generated along with other details including the passenger name, coach name, contact number, journey start and end junction, etc. The generation of PNR number in Railways has been implemented, once the system managed to be successful in Airlines. It makes the journey and process smooth, effective for both railways department and the passengers. It stores the following information about the passengers.

  1. The personal details of the passenger including date of birth, age, phone number, sex, e-mail address.

The travel details of the passenger such as coach name, ticket number, number, seat number, source and destination junction, status of the ticket, berth preferences, mode of payment, etc.

What Happens if Your Rail Ticket is Not Confirmed

What happens if your rail ticket is not confirmed? As per the Indian Railways new train ticket booking rule, in case you are not able to get a confirmed ticket, you are eligible to book a wait-listed ticket. In any case of train cancellations by anyone, the wait-listed ticket can get you a confirmed ticket berth. If your ticket is not confirmed, and you are putting the cancellation request for the same, then you would get the full refund of the same into the source with which you did the payment. Every time you book a ticket, whether it gets into confirmation mode, or wait-listed status or else, PNR number that is the unique 10 digit number gets generated. It is stored in the database of Indian Railways system and is for the record purpose of the traveller and the system. People can check the PNR number status easily without any problem, and can see if the confirmed ticket gets the confirmation status or not. If the wait-listing is not more, there are more chances of getting it confirmed status. So, make sure to keep checking the same, and be aware of the current status of your rail ticket.

This train had been introduced as KK Express (Kerala – Karnataka Express) in 1976 and began operating from New Delhi – Trivandrum and Bengaluru having bifurcation in Jolarpettai Junction. It was in the year 1980 that it got split to two trains, Karnataka Express and Kerala Express, which once again split at Palghat Junction and another portion getting diverted to Mangalore. Later, it overlapped with Jayanti Janata that bifurcated at Shoranur and one part being directed to Cochin Harbor and another to Mangalore. It was only later that both the trains got merged for forming Kerala Mangala Express. It was only after another train was introduced to Mangalore in 1990 that it started to travel in its present route. Initially, it was run as non-daily express train and had similar time slot with Andhra Pradesh Express, Karnataka Express and Tamil Nadu Express. But, after being converted into daily train, it got its own time schedule to follow.

Route –

Originally, it was said to be numbered 125 / 126, however, was changed later in 1989 to 2625 / 2626 once the 4 digit numbering system had been adopted by the Indian Railways. But, with the adopting of the 5 digit number system by the Indian Railways in December 2010, the Kerala Express got numbered as 12625 for its upward journey, while being given as 12626 for its downward journey.

Coach Composition –

Generally, it is regarded to be a train that has twenty four coaches. There are 7 AC coaches (5 three-tier AC and two 2-tiers AC), four general coaches, twelve sleeper coaches and a pantry car. Usually, this train is hauled by Erode shed’s WAP 4 and has top speed of about 110 kmph.
