What Happens When Chart is Prepared?
WL Passengers
Waiting list passengers who have not been confirmed by chart preparation will be dropped from the passenger list and cannot board the train. Refund is processed automatically.
RAC Passengers
RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) passengers can board the train and share a berth. If confirmed passengers don't show up, RAC gets full berths.
Confirmed Passengers
Once the chart is prepared, seat/berth numbers are finalised. You can check the chart at the station or via the NTES app.
