@Abhi+Nandan: Re# 97391-5
PQWL doesnot have anything to de with GNWL.They are not assigned to same set of stations i.e. station A and B can never have both GEN and PQ Quota.
Lets say a train starts from A and go to D via B and C.It has 10 seats.Of which 7 is general and 3 dedicated seats(PQ) for intermediate station.Now, consider all...
more... 10 seats are full.So I buy a ticket for A to D and get W/L1 and buy a ticket for A to C and get PQWL/1.Now my PQWL 1 gets CNF once 1 of the 3 PQ passengers cancel and GEN gets CNF if 1 of the 7 passengers cancel.So now you decide which one stands more chance.However, PWQL goes to CNF and there is no intermediate RAC status just like TATKAL Quota however for GEN W/L RAC provision is there before CNF.
