Irctc — Waitlisting at booking time 60 days in advance

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I have on 10.01.2015 booked through IRCTC Online two journey tickets each, from Chennai Central to Bhopal Junction for Journey on 02.03.2015 by TN Express vide PNR No. [protected] and Return Journey from Bhopal Junction to Chennai Central for Journey on 11.02.2015 by TN Express. Eventhough the tickets were booked in the morning well in advance say, 53 and 60days, I have been issued RLWListed tickets. I do not understand the logic of people booking well in advance on prescribed 60 days, how come tickets issued in the beginning of the days itself were "Waitlisted".? One has to wait till 4 hours before the journey time (after preparation of charts?) to get confirmation of seats/berths booked. It is giving the customer anxiety till the last moment. Can anyone in either IRCTC or RAILWAY board clarify this, to my satisfaction please?
