In such a situation, you buy a waiting ticket, but you do not know whether it will be confirmed or not. Many people complain that the ticket was not confirmed even after the waiting list was short, whereas your partner's ticket got confirmed even after the waiting list was long.
To understand this, first of all we have to know how many types of waiting lists are there in the train. Because only on the basis of waiting list you will be able to find out whether your seat is confirmed or not.
How many types of waiting lists are there?
There are many types of tickets waiting in Indian Railways. In today's article we will tell you in detail about all these waiting lists.
- GNWL
- RLWL
- PQWL
- TQWL
- RSWL
- RAC
This type of waiting list is confirmed first.
GNWL General Waiting List – This waiting ticket is issued from the same station from where the train originates. For example, if the train is starting from Delhi and you have taken your ticket also from Delhi, then such waiting list is issued on these tickets.
There are more chances of getting the ticket confirmed in this train, because the train is also starting from the same place from where you have booked the ticket. In such a situation, if GNWL/6 is written on your ticket in the waiting list, then you can understand that there is a waiting list of 6 seats for your seat to be confirmed. As soon as any passenger who has booked a ticket among these 6 cancels his ticket, his seat will be confirmed.
PQWL (Pooled Quota Waiting List)
Pooled quota waiting list is for intermediate station of long distance train. In this, the passenger wants to travel to any station between the starting point of the train and its last stop. Since you are starting your journey from the middle station and want to get down before the last stop of the train, the chances of it getting confirmed are very less.
This is because most people have already booked long distance train tickets. It is difficult to get confirmed tickets only for those people who want to travel at 5 to 6 stations in between.
TQWL Ticket (Tatkal Quota Waiting List)
Many people buy tickets in Tatkal also, but even in this they are not able to get a confirmed seat. In such a situation, they have to travel with waiting tickets only. Tatkal quota waiting list means that Railways does not have any quota, which means there is only a possibility of your ticket getting confirmed.
This is because Tatkal tickets in trains are limited to numbers only. When all the seats in the train are filled then people book Tatkal tickets, but when Tatkal seats are also filled then there is no possibility of Tatkal waitlisted ticket getting confirmed.
rswl ticket
Tickets with RSWL code have a very low chance of getting confirmed. This type of waiting list is written on the tickets of those passengers who book tickets for stations at some distance from the originating station of the train.
The chances of such tickets being confirmed are less. This is because most passengers book tickets for long distance travel. The number of passengers traveling at only 4 to 5 stations is less.
