Check Train Seat Availability Online On IRCTC

The days of chasing TTEs for vacant train berths will now be a thing of the past! IRCTC has recently taken the train reservations charts public. This move is aimed at making the Indian Railways system more transparent. This means that passengers will now be able to check train seat availability online on the IRCTC website or mobile app. Key features of the updates are as follows:

• IRCTC will display the entire train’s seating layout in different colours to shows seats that are booked, vacant or partially booked.
