waitlist ticket from counter

I think valid, but if ticket dont gets confirmed then you will have to travel in General Class. No refund will be given.

Waiting tickets for sleeper class are valid but you don’t have permission to travel in SL class. You can travel to general class using same ticket.

currently you cant board a train without confirmed ticket…even for general bogies..there is reservation……

before covid situation…only counter waitlisted tickets were valid….online waitlisted tickets were automatically cancelled after chart preparation and you get refund…if after chart preparation there is rac you can cancel it..only 60 rs would have been deducted

@Imharsh

Counter ticket in WL even after chart preparation has to be given in counter before 30 mins of scheduled departure to get refund.

If a passenger failed to do so, then that money will not be refunded. And because of this, when a counter WL passenger boarded the train, in most cases, TTE will allow him in the SL coach itself.
Normally some passengers holding confirm or RAC tickets will not travel due to their personal reasons. And TTE will manage it with these seats. Mostly they will not deboard the passenger, as IRCTC gave already got the money.

Happy Journey and do share your journey experience
