Confirmed Train Ticket: Whenever you go to book a ticket, you expect to get a confirmed ticket but this does not always happen; sometimes you get a waiting ticket as well.
If you have bought a ticket from the reservation counter, then you have some chance, whereas if you have booked a ticket online, then in such a situation your ticket gets cancelled automatically and the money is credited to your bank account within a few days. If travelling is necessary, then we are going to tell you how you can travel legally on a waiting ticket.
Will the TTE give you a seat?
To travel legally, you must have a reservation ticket taken from the counter, even if it is a waiting ticket. If you have a waiting ticket, you can go to the TTE and ask for a seat.
In this situation, if there is an empty seat somewhere, then the TTE provides you with a seat. But the point to note here is that the seat will be given to you only after the chart is prepared.
No need to pay extra money
In such a situation, when the seat is not available, the TTE cannot give you a seat. You also do not have to pay any extra money to the TTE for the seat, because you have paid the full amount during booking.
