Indian Railways Allows Confirmed Ticket Booking After Chart Preparation via Current Booking
Indian Railways offers a Current Booking facility allowing passengers to book confirmed train tickets after the reservation chart is prepared. This option applies when vacant seats become available due to cancellations or quota releases, especially during peak travel seasons like Diwali and Chhath. Unlike regular bookings, Current Booking only issues confirmed tickets, not RAC or wait-listed ones. The facility is available through e-ticketing within the existing booking window and follows specific rules regarding concessions and ticket modifications.
