The Vikalp scheme, also known as Alternate Train Accommodation Scheme (ATAS), was launched in 2015 to make sure available berths are optimally used.
The Vikalp scheme helps passengers get a confirmed seat in an alternate train if a waitlisted ticket doesn’t make it to the confirmed list.
Under this scheme, passengers can opt for a maximum 7 trains. In this scheme, the boarding and terminating stations might change to nearby cluster stations.
