what if waiting list is not confirmed in irctc

If a waiting list ticket is not confirmed in IRCTC, the ticket will be automatically canceled and the money will be refunded to the account which was used to book the ticket. If a ticket is partly confirmed and partly waitlisted, the names of the passengers will appear in the chart including the waitlist passengers. If you do not want to travel without all seats confirmed, you can file a TDR through the IRCTC website, and the TDR can be filed only before 30 minutes of the scheduled departure of the train. If a waitlisted ticket is canceled online, the refund of fare shall be made after deducting the cancellation charge of ₹ 20/- +GST per passenger. According to the Indian Railways new train ticket booking rule, if you are unable to get a confirmed ticket, you can book a waitlisted ticket. So, in case of train ticket cancellations by others, your waitlisted ticket can fetch you a confirmed berth. However, while booking a waitlisted ticket during the IRCTC ticket booking process, you must check about the limit allowed in the train for such a ticket. Not checking this limit will lead to deduction of money from your account, and there will be no chance of your waitlisted ticket getting a confirmed status.
