Will not be able to travel in sleeper-AC coach on waiting ticket As per the new rule of Indian Railways, passengers with waiting list tickets will no longer be allowed to travel in sleeper or AC coach. Passengers whose tickets are on the waiting list will now be able to travel only in general coaches. If a passenger is found traveling in AC or sleeper coach on a waiting ticket, he will be fined. Its purpose is to increase the convenience of travel and reduce overcrowding in the coach. Penalty for violation: Apart from this, you will have to pay the fare from the starting station of the train to the station where you are caught. Railways said that tickets booked through IRCTC are automatically canceled if they are not confirmed, but people use tickets booked from the counter to board the train. Due to this, passengers with confirmed tickets face inconvenience.
