Will I get refund after preparation of chart for wait listed ticket?

For waitlisted tickets, the refund process after the preparation of the chart is straightforward:

Automatic Refund for Fully Waitlisted Tickets

If the status of all passengers on a waitlisted e-Ticket (GNWL, RLWL, PQWL) remains waitlisted even after the chart has been prepared, the refund will be processed automatically. The fare will be refunded to the same account used for booking, after deducting the applicable clerkage charges. This process typically takes 3 to 7 working days35.

Manual Cancellation Before Departure

You can also cancel a waitlisted ticket up to 30 minutes before the scheduled departure of the train. In this case, you will receive a refund after deducting a cancellation fee of ₹60 + GST per passenger15.

In summary, if your waitlisted ticket does not get confirmed after the chart preparation, you will automatically receive a refund, or you can manually cancel the ticket up to 30 minutes before the train's departure to get a refund.
