There are many passengers who hold WL tickets and enter the Reserved compartments in almost every train. They fail to understand that as per Railway rules, passengers with WL tickets are not allowed to board the train/reserved compartments. This inconveniences all the other passengers with valid Reserved tickets in their respective coaches. This leads to a lot of arguments and unnecessary fights between passengers as some of the passengers are illiterate as well and do not seem to understand.
Secondly, in most cases, the TTE does not inform the Guard and detrain these WL passengers from the Reserved compartments. The rules also mention that the WL passengers have to cancel their tickets and the refund will be given immediately. But this seldom...

1.The PRS WL ticket should be considered as invalid ticket and passenger if interetsed in getting refund can get it from PRS counter say like with in two hour of chart preparation or 2hr after the train departing from station. Hence TTE can fine them for ticket less travel and also can ask them to deboard at next station.
2. RPF should be provided to assist TTE when he goes for ticket checking. Most time TTE will be helpless and by the time RPF come they would have moved to some other coaches or bathrooms

The issue of WL tickets would only offer faint hope to the passenger, which might work out in his favour or not. For this he has to travel to the station with luggage and family and in case of no seats, then he should not board the train but cancel the tickets and get the refund (ideally speaking) . But would the Indian traveller cancel the WL tickets ? NO.... He would not cancel the WL tickets but he will board the train because he has paid the money and would meet the TTE and get seats and this will lead to inconvenience for the other passengers (though unintentional). Hence the stoppage of WL tickets would help him to reschedule his trip with family to another time or schedule his trip to another place at the same time. For the illiterate traveller, as he will have no ticket in his hand,...

I agree with point no 4 only...
For WL passengers:-
Iinstead of deboarding the WL pax, IR should should arrange alternates e.g. extra coaches, new trains, higher capacity coaches etc. But no one thinks about WL passengers.
IR having customers to buy ticket but not having seats to sell ?

Only CNF and RAC tickets should be given at PRS counters.
WL tickets have to be booked on IRCTC, which get auto cancelled after chart preparation.
