INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Train list once selected under Vikalp scheme cannot be changed.
IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and
Tourism Corporation) offers Vikalp scheme for waitlisted passengers as an option to provide confirmed berth in an alternate train
However, opting for Vikalp does not mean that assured berth will be provided to passengers in alternate train
It is subject to train and berth availability, mentioned IRTC on its official website
Once confirmed in alternate train, cancellation charges will be as per berth/train status in alternate train
According to Indian Railways, boarding and terminating station might also change to nearby cluster stations under this scheme
Passenger can also be transferred to any alternate train opted and departing between 30 minutes to 12 hours from the scheduled departure of
original train, in which the ticket was booked
