Want CONFIRMED TRAIN TICKET For Diwali And Chhath Travel? Check IRCTC’s Special Scheme

Are you also lacking to get a confirmed ticket during this festival season? Here is a Vikalp scheme that helps you to get a confirmed ticket. 

The Vikalp Scheme, introduced by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), provides passengers with alternative train options if they cannot secure confirmed seats on their original booking.

The Vikalp Scheme offers flexibility by allowing waitlisted passengers to be transferred to alternate trains with available seats on the same route. Is is important to know that while this option increases the chances of securing a confirmed seat it does not guarantee one.

Vikalp scheme is only applicable to all waiting list passengers irrespective of booking quota and concession.

Under this scheme, passengers can select a maximum of 7 trains for the Vikalp option and only those passengers who booked waitlisted tickets and remain fully waitlisted after charting will be considered for allocation on an alternate train.

Fully waitlisted passengers who opt for the Vikalp Scheme should check their PNR status after charting. No additional charges will be incurred, nor will any refunds be provided for fare differences. (Images: Freepik)
