IRCTC Berth Upgrade: Indian Railways keeps changing its methods from time to time for the convenience of passengers. These days the railways are rapidly moving towards modernization. In this sequence, semi high speed train Vande Bharat has also been operated in the country and many stations are also being modernized. To make the journey comfortable, now the railways have also started the facility of changing berths for the passengers. If you do not like your berth, then you can upgrade it in the middle of the journey. Suppose if you are traveling in a sleeper coach, then through the facility of railways, you can upgrade your seat to AC coach during the journey itself. For this, you will not even need to go to any window. Let us know how you can take advantage of this facility…
In this way passengers will be able to travel extra
The aim of the railways behind starting this service is to provide convenience to the passengers and to meet their ever-changing needs. This is the reason why Indian Railways has made the rules of ticket booking very easy keeping in mind the convenience of the passengers. This has made it easier for the passengers to upgrade the coach even after booking the ticket. However, passengers can also use the option of changing their destination and traveling extra by paying some extra amount.
This is how you can upgrade your coach
If you want to upgrade your coach during the journey, then you do not need to go to any booth for this. You can avail this facility while sitting on your seat during the journey. Let us tell you what you have to do to avail this facility. If your seat is in the sleeper coach and you want to travel in the AC coach instead, then for this you have to contact the TTE present in the coach and give your request. If the seat is vacant in the AC coach, then the TTE will allot that berth to you.
What are the rules?
In exchange for getting the seat upgraded, you will have to make the prescribed cash payment to the TTE as per the rules. It is important to note that you can avail the benefit of this seat upgradation system of the Railways only when a berth is vacant in another coach. If there is no vacant seat in that coach, then you will have to travel in the same coach in which you have been allotted a berth.
