Ticket automatically canceled

If your chosen coach is full, you might get upgraded to a higher class if there's a vacant seat. The best part? You don't have to pay any extra charges for this upgrade.

Auto-upgradation option

For example, with auto-upgradation, if you book a sleeper ticket and it's full, you might get a vacant berth in Third AC. This isn't just for sleeper; 3AC can get upgraded to 2AC, and 2AC to 1AC.

Only in higher coaches

This upgrade only happens if there are empty seats in a higher class. Many people have already traveled in 3rd AC with a sleeper ticket using this. Remember, this is only for online IRCTC bookings.
