Kanchan Kanya Express: ডুয়ার্সের রাণী - Joydeep Roy

Ok. I got it we can't travel with WL non e-ticket thru sleeper coaches.
But, in the same blog, he is saying that we can board the sleeper coach with even general ticket and if TTE approaches us and if there are available seats, then he won't fine us and we need to pay remainder of sleeper ticket and we will get seat. But, if seats are not available, then he will charge us 250/- rs fine as well as remainder of fare. Is it true?

Yes. We can board the train, and talk to the TTE and try to get a confirmation. There are occasions where a W/L ticket also can get confirmed on board. This happens when the number of confirmed passengers who did not board the train are more than the number of allowed RAC seats after chart preparation. If there are seats avaiable, the TTE can allow you to board the train irrespective of what ticket you are holding, GN tkt, WL tkt. He will not straight away charge you 250/- he will first ask you to de-board. If you can't then he will charge you with 250/- or more. 250/- is minimum. W/L ticket is considered as ticket less travel and can be considered as a crime as per rules. If you get a nasty TTE, imagine what happens to you.

Same PNR, Partially Confirmed:
Nothing crystal clear has been stated by IR. So it is really upto the TTE how he sees the entire matter.

I traveled along with a friend on a general ticket from Ujjain to Bhopal on board Malwa Express sleeper class coach. There 2 ticket checkers came and collected Rs50 each and scribbled something on our ticket(Codes). There were about 50 passengers in the coach like this. I guess this is a routine practice in that route. Another TTE came and requested for our tickets and when we showed him the coded ticket he just smiled and left. Guess every route is different. This system was told to us by a TTE at Ujjain platform itself.
