Advance Reservation Period
Advance reservation of berths and seats can be done 120 days in advance excluding the date of journey at the originating station. The advance reservation period at intermediate stations for any particular train would be reckoned with reference to the date on which booking starts at the train originating station.
You can board the train with a RAC ticket. You will be provided with sitting accommodation initially and allotted a berth in case of any passenger not turning up in the train.
If you are holding a wait-listed ticket, check the status of your ticket before boarding the train. If the wait-listed ticket has not been confirmed or upgraded to RAC, please do not board the reserved coaches. In case you do, you will be fined and detrained.
