Necessary action may kindly be taken to educate the staff and also 
general public about the features of the scheme as per details given 
below:- 
 
i. The facility of upgradation of passengers will be provided without 
any additional financial burden on the passengers; 
 
ii. This facility will be automatically provided unless any passenger 
specifically refuses to avail this facility, by giving “NO” option at 
the time of filling of the requisition form.  The requisition forms 
should be modified accordingly.  Till such time the reservation staff 
may be asked to take the option on the requisition form at the time of 
booking the ticket; 
 
iii. Frequent/Periodical announcements may be made at Reservation 
Offices through public address system to make passengers aware of 
this facility as well as the possibility of non-availability of choice 
berths like lower berths in the upgraded class. 
 
iv. Also some passengers who are allergic to AC environment may not 
like upgradation from Sleeper Class to 3 AC or 1st Class to 2 AC.  
Such passenger should specifically give option “NO” at the time of 
Booking failing which there may be a situation when as a result of 
upgradation the passenger may get upgraded to AC class in which 
he/she does not want to go and even the original reservation in the 
Sleeper Class or First class is also not available after chart 
preparation causing inconvenience to passenger. 
 
v. Passengers therefore should be encouraged to give clear cut option at 
the time of Booking  
 
vi. Wide publicity should be given and the reservation staff should be 
educated suitably to enable them to give proper guidance to the 
passengers.
