The present position as to upgradation from lower class to the upper class is that the passengers in Waiting List are given accomodation in the upper class. I had recently had an inquiry and I received the following reply.
"The Railways plans to upgrade reserved passengers to the higher classes (if there are vacant berth) through a computerised random selection process undertaken."
"With regard to your mail, we would like to inform you that it is not possible to convert the class from 3AC to 1AC through the net on your request or...

manually."[This was not that I inquired about]
"We would like to pass one more information that if you have opted auto upgradation while booking then the Railways plans to upgrade reserved passengers to the higher classes (if there are vacant berth) through a computerised random selection process."
Does this mean that upgradation now shall not be for waitlisted passengers, but it will be for regular [confirmed] passengers.It seems that this would be the provision for the ensuing Rly.Budget. Is it so ?
