Question 1

Can I swap seats with someone on an Indian Railways train?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Passengers routinely exchange berths by mutual agreement, and TTEs treat consensual swaps within the same class as normal. Your ticket and PNR do not change — you simply occupy each other's berths. BerthSwap helps you find someone on your exact train and date who wants the berth you have.

Question 2

How do I change an upper berth to a lower berth?

Accepted Answer

You cannot change the berth on your ticket after booking, but you can swap with a co-passenger who prefers an upper berth — many travellers do. Post what you have and what you want on your train's board, agree in private chat, and exchange after boarding. Inform the TTE if asked.

Question 3

Does BerthSwap cost anything?

Accepted Answer

No. BerthSwap is free and never processes payments of any kind. Swaps are goodwill exchanges between passengers.

Question 4

Is BerthSwap affiliated with IRCTC or Indian Railways?

Accepted Answer

No. BerthSwap is an independent passenger-to-passenger coordination tool. It never modifies your ticket or PNR and has no affiliation with Indian Railways or IRCTC.
