Starting May 1, 2025, Indian Railways will prohibit waitlisted passengers from boarding sleeper and AC coaches. The new policy aims to reduce overcrowding and enhance comfort for confirmed ticket holders. Passengers must confirm reservations before travel to avoid fines. This move is part of IRCTC’s ongoing efforts to improve travel conditions and ensure only passengers with valid bookings occupy sleeper and AC coaches.
