Having a confirmed train ticket isn't just about securing a seat on the train—there are many additional benefits you might not be aware of. According to Nishikant Kumar, Senior DCM of the Ranchi Railway Division, a confirmed train ticket can offer a variety of services, from food to medical aid.

Let's explore these benefits in detail.

IRCTC Dormitory Access

If you have a confirmed ticket, you can use IRCTC's dormitories. For just 150 INR, you get a bed for 24 hours. This facility is exclusively for passengers with a confirmed ticket.

Free Bedding in AC Coaches | Railway Confirm Ticket Benefits

Passengers in AC 1, 2, and 3 classes receive free bedding, including pillows, bedsheets, and blankets. The same is available for Garib Rath trains. If these items are not provided, you can show your ticket to access them at no extra cost.

Medical Emergency Assistance

In case of a medical emergency on the train, immediate assistance is available. Inform the train's RPF personnel or call 139 for prompt medical aid. If required facilities are not on the train, arrangements will be made at the next station.

Free Food for Delayed Premium Trains

If you're traveling on premium trains like Rajdhani, Duronto, or Shatabdi and the train is delayed by over 2 hours, you are entitled to free meals from the IRCTC canteen. If this service is not provided, you can lodge a complaint by calling 139.
