It might have happened to most of us that suddenly they had to go to another city due to some emergency. In such a situation, neither reservation nor confirmed seat is available immediately. During this time, no matter how many tricks are used, all the tricks seem to fail. This is because tickets are available only two hours before the departure of the train. After this, it is not possible to get a train ticket under any circumstances.
However, it is also true that emergency passengers often sit on general bogie tickets. Some people buy sleeper tickets and get adjusted on the ground or with any other passenger. But it cannot be denied that in long distance journeys it is very important to have a seat.
Actually, there are many vacant seats in every train, about which we are not aware. But let us say that now you can check the seat availability yourself even in a moving train and find out which berth is available in which coach, then what would you say?
This is how you will get complete information
If you are traveling without ticket or with general ticket, then you have to go to the official website of IRCTC https://www.irctc.co.in/online-charts/. Here you can find out for yourself which berth is vacant in which coach.
As soon as you open the website, you will see Book Ticket written. Here the option of chart and vacancy will be visible. Click on it.
Now you will see the reservation chart and journey details tab open, in which you will have to write the name of the boarding station along with train number-station and date of journey.
By clicking on this, you can get information about seats on the basis of class and coach. In this way you will know which seats are vacant in which coach.
You can know seat availability even before the first chart is made.
This data system is based. In such a situation, you can find out even before the chart is made. The first chart is prepared 4 hours before the departure of the train. In this you can know all the information about vacant seats. However, many times it happens that people book tickets but are unable to travel due to some reason.
In such a situation his seat remains vacant. Which other passengers are not aware of. In such a situation, TTE updates this information online in another chart, through which you can find out which seat is vacant even in the middle of a moving train.
