IRCTC's 'VIKALP' Scheme: Get Confirmed Train Berth Even on Waiting List!

• Indian Railways' 'VIKALP' scheme offers a solution for waiting list passengers to get confirmed berths.
• If your booked train has no vacant berths, VIKALP allots seats on other trains on the same route.
• Select the 'VIKALP' option while booking tickets via IRCTC website or app; it applies only to waiting list passengers.
• Alternatives are shown for trains departing within 12-24 hours of your original scheduled train.
• No additional charges for train changes through VIKALP; passengers can also postpone journeys by a day or two with consent.
