Passengers traveling by Indian Railways will now experience an enhanced seat upgrade facility. After the chart preparation, sleeper class tickets can be upgraded directly to Second AC if seats are available, expanding upon the previous limit of upgrades only up to Third AC. This upgrade applies to Chair Car... tickets too. Sanjay Manocha, the Director (Passenger Marketing) of the Railway Board, communicated the new rule to all zonal railways on May 13th, with instructions for necessary software changes to CRIS. This also enables upgrade from Second Seating to AC Chair Car, and from AC Chair Car to Executive Class. Passengers will travel in a higher class without extra charges, improving seat utilization and passenger convenience. The auto-upgrade facility has been in place since 2006, offering automatic upgrades from Sleeper to Third AC when seats are available after chart preparation, provided the 'Auto Upgrade' option was selected during booking on the IRCTC website. No extra fee is charged for this upgrade. Refund policies will be based on the original ticket class fare, if a cancellation is requested post-upgrade. This feature aims to provide passengers with a better travel experience at a lower cost.

Rail yatrion ke liye ek achchi khabar hai. Ab sleeper class ka waiting ticket chart banne ke baad, seat khali hone par seedhe Second AC tak upgrade ho sakta hai. Pehle yeh facility sirf Third AC tak limited thi. Ab chair car mein bhi ticket upgrade ki suvidha lagu kar di... gayi hai. Railway Board ke Director (Passenger Marketing) Sanjay Manocha ne 13th May ko sabhi regional railways ko letter bheja, jismein naye rules ki jaankari di gayi hai. Unhone CRIS ko software mein avashyak badlav karne ke directions bhi diye hain. Agar kursi yaan (Second Sitting) ka ticket hai aur AC Chair Car mein seat khali hai, toh woh wahin upgrade ho jayega. AC Chair Car ka ticket bhi Executive Class mein badla ja sakta hai. Nayi vyavastha ke tahat, yatri bina extra charges ke higher class mein travel kar sakenge. 2006 se hi railway ki auto-upgrade facility hai. Iske tahat agar sleeper class ka ticket confirm nahi hota aur chart banane ke baad seats khali hain, toh ticket apne aap Third AC mein upgrade ho jata hai, agar booking ke time IRCTC website par ‘Auto Upgrade’ ka option choose kiya gaya ho. Upgrade ke baad agar koi ticket cancel karna chahta hai, toh usko original category ke ticket ke according refund milega.
