Check your Ticket Confirmed or Not<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Want to know how to check if your ticket is confirmed or not? The quickest way is to check the PNR status, which instantly shows whether your train ticket confirms and its current 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.<\/p>\n

No matter which method you choose to check the PNR status, you only need to enter the PNR number and click on the status message. You can see whether your ticket is confirmed, waitlisted, or RAC within seconds. If your ticket is not confirmed, you can book for another travel date or choose the Tatkal quota.<\/p>\n

If you are lucky and on time, might be in tatkal class, you get the train ticket. The system always generates a PNR number regardless of the ticket status. This unique 10-digit number is created once you book a ticket online, and you can use it to check the real status.<\/p>\n

Are you in waiting list\u2026?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Every time you find the letters \u201cWL\u201d on your ticket, you will get to know that it\u2019s time to test your patience\u2026! The grater the number which follows these letters, the longer could be the waiting. If you didn\u2019t 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\u2019 new scheme entitled \u201cVikalp Yojna,\u201d which was enforced in November, can bring in some comfort in this context.<\/p>\n

What is the scheme all about\u2026?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If a passenger\u2019s ticket is not confirmed, this scheme allows them to travel with a confirmed ticket in the next scheduled trains on the same route. Initially, it applied only to passengers who booked tickets for mail and express trains online. An important point to note here is the railways aren\u2019t charging the passengers for this service..!<\/p>\n

If you find any difference between the fares of two trains, you can claim the amount and the designated authorities will refund you. Isn\u2019t this a great move\u2026? Upon close observation, we can sense that this scheme isn\u2019t 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<\/a><\/strong> and get to know about the alternative trains you can get.<\/p>\n
