(b) if so, the reasons for this difference;

(d) the details thereof?

ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI KOTLA JAYA SURYA PRAKASH REDDY)

(a) to (d): All confirmed e-ticket holders are allowed to travel, including those whose tickets are confirmed out of emergency quota. As far as confirmation of tickets out of emergency quota is concerned, there is no difference between reserved tickets issued through Computerised Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters or e-tickets.

In case the status of all the passengers booked on an e-ticket remains waitlisted after the preparation of reservation chart, names of all such passengers are dropped from reservation chart and refund is granted automatically. Such passengers if found travelling in train, are treated as without ticket and charged accordingly.
