i am of the opinion that even though the ticket is confirmed the berth/seat numbers should not be alloted at the time of booking instead it should be given at the time of chart preparation depending upon the age of the passenger, because young people who reserve the ticket online get the lower berths and window seats while the elderly passengers who reserve the tickets through the counter are not able to get lower berth or window.

why it cannot be alloted as per their choice already given while booking with priority to the elders and senior citizens and ladies and children.

Sir think in total there are 10 lower seats
and while booking 15 applied for lower berth all 60 plus
what next????
If one books ticket in advance [90 days] for all 90 days he/she will be in tension about which seat he/she will get..
Hence
...
more...
ARP is 90 days which is fixed for all so plan up your journey in advance to get better seat
Regard's
Have a nice day Sir

Your idea sounds very useful for aged persons and females. But just think, if your idea is implemented in totality, what will be the result.
1-passengers of one family travelling in same boggey will get scattered, due to 'age' factor.
2-Knowing the berth number at last moment means, you are in dark about your berth no. Chart is not displayed always in time, and if displayed it is beyond reach of all. Location of chart and aged people standing at platform where train is arriving is different and distant. Instead of helping 'aged'

persons, your suggestion will tire them out such that they will feel harassed.
3-Your number not printed on ticket will create confusion and fight among each other cotravelers. Any one can write no, mannually and any one can claim your berth, as chart copy is not carried and given to each passenger.
4-Your suggestion is just outlandish, and impractical. Even in air travel, seat numbers are allotted at the time of booking.
5-As other have pointed out , that to receive you at destination, the family, friends too will be in dark where to stand ,which compartment you are .
6-Use of boggey/ coach number of arriving train on platfom displayed on computer display too will loose its relevance if your suggestion is implemented.

What you are advocating is similar to what airlines do. Not possible as hundreds of people will throng the Chart to get their coach/berth during start of journey which might lead to chaos. Most of them do not use the internet or mobile/telephone to check their status.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
