Re# 6089943-6              
Very good for general passengers.
Specially in 20402, if you come after 17:00 at Charbagh then you are not gonna seat in General. You have to travel by standing inside the coach.
2S shall be increased so that seat confirmation will be there and passenger can board by coming 10 min prior to departure.
Same applies in SL and 3A as well.

Agree
Infact,
when 14227/28 & 24227/28 Varuna was cancelled and 20401/02 Shuttle was inaugurated post covid,
It should have been announced with max 2S + 1 or 2 CC (as per requirement) and GS as per requirement.

Exactly,

reserved ticket allows to have comfortable journey (by not even reaching well way in advance :p e.g. like forming long queue(s) incase of 12533 @ LJN)
I would add a point more - Reserved ticket allows passengers from intermediary stations to have comfortable journey even in a well packed train.
e.g. MFKA to JOP in 20402
