I had booked 8 tickets for a travel between Kudal and Ltt out of which 2 had a waiting list status after the preparation of the reservation chart and 6 berths had a confirmed status.
Hence i took 2 unreserved tickets and 8 of us got adjusted on the 6 berths.
When the TTE came to for checking, he charged me a fine for travelling without a ticket(even after showing my unreserved ticket), and said that if I had a Waitlisted ticket which was booked from the PRS counter, i wouldn't have had...

It can be if its a bulk booking. But looks like he has booked e-tickets.
WL e-tickets will be cancelled automatically after charting and hence you were penalized by TTE. If you had booked 5 tickets under 1 PNR and remaining 3 under another PNR, you would have been safe. If the 2 WL tickets were under one PNR and the remaining 6 under another, penalty has to be paid if the 2 WL passengers board reserved coaches.
yeah!!!
So if we had bought a separate ticket from the PRS counter with WL status, we would have been pardoned from paying the fine?
Thats what the TTE said.
My main query is regarding the E-ticket and the PRS Ticket.
Thanks!!

The 2 WL tickets were in 1 PNR I guess so they would have been cancelled automatically after charting. So that ticket is useless, PRS ticket would not be cancelled so still valid. That is the difference between PRS and e-ticket.
Boarding with WL ticket even when it is from PRS is still illegal though but the ticket is valid :-)

Yes. Waitlisted e tickets would be auto canceled and hence your tickets won't appear in the chart. Its not the case with PRS tickets. You ticket would have been valid and the TTE wouldn't have imposed a fine if it had been a PRS wait listed ticket
