How WL tickets are confirmed: Just for information of all, the following are various ways of how WL tickets get confirmed: (1) Cancellation of passengers before you. (2) Addition of extra coach (done at charting). (3) Berths falling vacant in higher quota and there by upgradation of some passengers (done at charting). (4) Release of some quotas like EQ, HO, DF (done at charting). (5) Berths remaining vacant in Tatkal (done at charting). (6) Your ticket is booked under a particular station quota. However if any other station quota is vacant, the WL passengers from this quota are accommodated in the other station quota (done at charting). For example, in Udyan Exp, Pune to Solapur passengers are booked in Pune-Bangalore quota. But when the charting for Mumbai quota is done, the vacant berths of Mumbai-Solapur quota are allotted to Pune-Solapur WL passengers. (7) Using the same berth for different passengers in...

Shri R Murli Dhar and Shri MST,
I wish to differ with both of you.
Stating "Charts are prepared generally 4 hours in advance....." and "The guideline is that charts are prepared 4 hrs before the departure of train...." is inaccurate.
In fact in no case, the chrting can be done '4 hours in advance' or '4 hrs before the departure". It is done...

I call it as guideline, cause its a guideline and not a mandate. It can be prepared anytime later till the departure of the train. Sometimes trains have left without chart being prepared, and the TTEs have collected charts after a few stations.

However I have observed instances when charting is done unnecessarily in advance. For example, 6340 leaves are around 7 AM from Nagercoil, however, I have seen its charting done many a times at 7 PM previous night itself, even when the passengers could have had the opportunity to do...

Sir,
Thanks for your observations. It is quite wrong if charting is done at 19:00 Hrs. for a train to depart at 07:00 Hrs. on the next day.
I quote a portion of the ruleswith site reference:

I want to see a day, when vacant berths after charting, are alloted by the TTE using a hand held device (like Blackberry), connected to the reservation terminal. This way, at any station, you can approach any TTE of the train. He will feed the class, journey starting station, journey ending station, and the device will give him a list of berths, all over the train, that can be alloted. Then he can mark the required berths are alloted between those 2 stations. The device will also give a print out as a reservation slip, and will display the total fare to be paid. The same device can be used for accounting purpose after the end of the journey.
