A viral social media message claims that Indian Railways has banned waiting list passengers from traveling starting July 1, 2024. The PIB Fact Check clarified this, stating that no such new rules have been issued. According to a 2010 circular, only confirmed and RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) passengers are allowed to travel in reserved coaches. Tickets with a waiting list are automatically canceled for e-tickets, and counter tickets can only be used in general coaches. There is no change in the rules, but enforcement has become stricter. Violators traveling in reserved coaches with a waiting ticket face fines starting at INR 440. PM Narendra Modi Govt Giving Free Recharge for 3 Months to All Indian Users?
