Maximum Waiting List limit before "No-Room" Train Tickets

There is no category of tickets called “No-Room” tickets.  However, the system shows “No-Room” after the waiting list of a particular class in a particular train reaches the prescribed maximum limit.  The prescribed maximum class-wise limits for current waiting lists are given below:

Class	Maximum waiting list limit
First Class AirConditioned (1A) /  Executive Class (EC)	30
Air-conditioned Two tier (2A)	100
First Class (FC)	30
Air-conditioned Three tier (3A) /  Air-conditioned Chair Car (CC)	300
Sleeper Class (SL)	400

In case of urgent demand for travel on account of unavoidable circumstances, the prescribed waiting list limits are extended by nominated supervisory officials and waitlisted tickets are issued.  There is no loss of revenue on account of not issuing waiting list tickets beyond the prescribed limits as the capacity utilisation of the reserved accommodation is ensured by the existing prescribed waiting list limits.
