Hello Bhawani Ji and everyone, Here is another piece of good news. After seeing your email, I checked the Duronto and Jan Shatabdi trains and found that they have started offering concessions for general seating as well as allotting 4 seats. Unlike the Vande Bharat train, which only provides concessions for allotted seats, these trains now offer both options. Please verify this information.
