You may that now we can book waiting list ticket through IRCTC. But once the chart is prepared and even then you are in waiting list, your ticket will automatically get cancelled.
And the amount will be credited back to your account.
So we cannot even travel in general compartment using waiting list ticket booked through IRCTC.
