Can we get into railway lounge without any ticket?

@DaDarkkNight I heard they ask Pnr number

In your case I suggest just go with the completed tckt, last thing that can happen is you get denied on the face thsts it, and let us know how ur experience was later

basis my experience at Delhi lounge - yes, passangers who are arriving at the station can use the lounge. They just enter the PNR in system in one of the text fields, and do not validate it with the servers (atleast at the time of entry).

Infact, the New Delhi platform 16 side lounge doesnt even asks for a PNR as mandatory requirement, but the qualilty of that lounge is pathetic/worse.

Yes can use completed PNR, no issues with that. At Delhi lounge I have used PNR which is of next day and was accepted without any problem. At Ahmedabad sometimes they ask PNR sometimes they don't ask.

So went to Chennai central railway lounge at platform no 6 for 2 times.
Not crowded but employees were doing delay in swiping and entering details.
Ask PNR number but not validating it,its just a formality it seems.
Used BOB emt dc, icici coral cc.
Food was good, Ac was average.

@Ram1 : Niiiiice, like I said, they just put PNR number in one of the text fields (perhaps in the address).
Also, I see it's available on Rupay Platinum DCs.... Any idea if its also available for Rupay Select DCs?
