Attention train passengers: No travel in sleeper or AC coach on waiting ticket from May 1

Indian Railways has announced a major change affecting crores of passengers. Starting May 1, stricter rules will be implemented to improve the travel experience for those with confirmed tickets. Under the new rules, passengers holding waiting list tickets will not be allowed to travel in sleeper or AC coaches. They will only be permitted to travel in general class. Notably, if an online ticket booked through IRCTC remains in the waiting list, it gets automatically cancelled. However, many passengers who purchase waiting list tickets from counters still travel in sleeper and AC coaches.
