General Class = unreserved coach (often 2 coaches per long-distance train).
How it works:
- Buy ticket at station counter or via UTS app (Unreserved Ticketing System).
- No PNR is issued — ticket has its own ticket number.
- No seat reservation — first-come, first-serve.
- Valid only on the train + date specified.
Tickets:
- 2nd Class (II): cheapest
- 2nd Class Sitting (2S): slightly more, with seats marked
Validity: Usually valid for 24 hours or until next station beyond your destination.
Cannot be checked via PNR — these don't have PNRs. Use the ticket number printed on the paper ticket.
