Maximum Waiting List limit before “No-Room” Train Tickets

There is no category of tickets called “No-Room”
tickets.  However, the system shows
“No-Room” after the waiting list of a particular class in a particular train
reaches the prescribed maximum limit.  The
prescribed maximum class-wise limits for current waiting lists are given below:
Class
Maximum
waiting list limit
First Class Air Conditioned (1A) / Executive Class
(EC)
30
Air-conditioned Two tier (2A)
100
First Class (FC)
30
Air-conditioned Three tier (3A) / Air-conditioned Chair
Car (CC)
300
Sleeper Class (SL)
400

In case
of urgent demand for travel on account of unavoidable circumstances, the
prescribed waiting list limits are extended by nominated supervisory officials
and waitlisted tickets are issued.  There
is no loss of revenue
on
account of not issuing
waiting list tickets beyond the
prescribed limits as the capacity utilisation of the reserved accommodation is
ensured by the existing prescribed waiting list limits.
