Get a sleeping seat on a moving train

Indian Railway Rules: Imagine getting a vacation after months, booking a ticket home with great hope, only to discover once the chart is prepared that the ticket is still stuck in waiting list or RAC. Most people either cancel their trip or are forced to travel in the crowded general compartment. The reality is that even after the chart is prepared, many seats remain vacant on every train, which are then taken by a smart traveler within a few hours. If you know where and how these seats are located, you can easily find a berth with a bedsheet and a comfortable bed to sleep in, even on a moving train.

Vacant Berths from the IRCTC App/Website

After the chart is prepared on the IRCTC website or app, you can see in real-time which seats are vacant on your train. To do this, enter the train number/name in the Trains section and select the “Available Seats After Charting” option, along with the “Chart Prepared” status, where coach-wise berth details are available.

The TTE also allots seats

Sometimes, even after the train departs, some berths remain vacant, and the TTE is the first to know about them. If you have a RAC or waiting list ticket and the chart doesn’t show full berths, speak politely to the TTE as soon as you board the train; he or she will often allot the vacant berth on a first-come, first-served basis.

According to railway rules, passengers who don’t board the train even within the first few stations after the departure of the train can have their seat allotted to another passenger. Therefore, passengers boarding from intermediate stations also get a chance. In such a situation, if your luck and timing are both right, then despite having a waiting ticket, you can get a full berth to sleep even in a moving train.
