Railways limits waiting list tickets to just 25% above general quota! Effective immediately, this affects all classes from sleeper to AC coaches nationwide.
Change
To reduce overcrowding, Railways caps WL tickets at 25% of available seats. No more endless waiting lists causing travel chaos in reserved categories.
Reason
If a train has 20 sleeper seats, only 5 WL tickets will be issued. AC classes get even fewer - just 2-3 WL tickets after quota fills.
Example
"No Room" status appears faster now! Rajdhani, Duronto & major expresses showing immediate effect - June bookings already affected.
Impact
New 25% limit applies to Tatkal tickets as well! But excludes concessional tickets and railway warrants for smoother official travel.
Tatkal Too
Rule applies at all stations - major junctions to small roadside stops. Uniform system ensures fair ticket distribution across India.
Stations
Book early! With limited WL tickets now, confirm your seats ASAP. Check PRS counters or IRCTC app immediately after "No Room" appears.
