Indian Railway Rules on Mixed Confirmed and Waiting Tickets

If a single PNR ticket is booked for four people with three confirmed seats and one waiting, the confirmed passengers can travel, but the waiting passenger faces different rules. After the chart is prepared, an online e-ticket with a waiting status is automatically canceled. However, at the counter, waiting passengers may get a seat if available. Travelers should check their PNR status before the journey.
