Indian Railway New Rules: Crores of people travel daily in Indian Railways. For this, Indian Railways continuously implements new rules. The main purpose of these rules is the convenience of passengers. From May 1, 2025, a new rule has been implemented for passengers traveling with confirmed tickets. After the implementation of this rule, your travel experience will become even better. Under this new rule, if you are a passenger whose name is on the waiting list, you will not be allowed to travel in AC coach or sleeper coach. With a waiting ticket, you can only travel in the general class.

If you have booked an online ticket through the IRCTC website and it remains on the waiting list, it will be automatically canceled if a confirmed seat is not received. If you have taken a waiting list ticket from the counter, you can travel in sleeper and AC coaches.

Indian Railways’ New Rule for Passenger Convenience

This new rule has been implemented from May 1, 2025. You will not be able to travel in sleeper and AC coaches with a waiting list ticket. If any person with a waiting list ticket is found sitting in a sleeper coach or AC coach, the TTE has the option to impose a fine. Along with this, the passenger can be transferred to the general compartment.

The government has implemented this rule so that people traveling with confirmed tickets do not face any kind of inconvenience. It is often seen that passengers with waiting tickets enter sleeper and AC coaches and try to forcibly occupy other seats. Due to this, passengers sitting there with confirmed tickets face many types of inconvenience. This is why this new rule has been implemented.
