Now tickets are issued within minutes, and for unreserved tickets, there are multiple counters at most stations, plus there are authorized PBTS agents who charge Rs 1 extra outside the station. Please look up your time table for the agents in your city/station area.
Good wishes.

Same rules apply. Journey must be completed within the time limits specified. If outside the time limit, you can purchase it at the originating station from where you wish to travel.
Travel begins on 3rd Oct. more than 200 kms. Buy Ticket on 1st Oct. If return journey is on 3rd Oct. it will be issued. If return journey is on 4th October, then it will not be issued (return journey ticket).
good wishes.
