Wait listed Tatkal ticket holders are given priority in confirmation of berths/seats in these extra coaches followed by the confirmation to the general wait listed passengers.

To inform the passengers of addition of these extra coaches in advance, Western Railway uploads this position one to three days in advance on its website www.wr.indianrailways.gov.in under the menu “Passenger and Freight services”.

This helps the waitlisted passengers to have an idea of possibility of confirmation of their ticket besides bringing transparency in the reservation system.
