What is PNR Status?
PNR stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a unique 10-digit number given to every Indian Railways ticket booking. PNR Status provides important information such as booking status, confirmation updates, seat number, coach number, and journey details.
Checking your PNR status helps you know whether your ticket is confirmed, waitlisted (WL), or under RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation).
Why Check PNR Status?
Checking your PNR Status ensures you:
- Know if your seat or berth is confirmed before the journey.
- Prepare alternate travel plans if your ticket remains waitlisted.
- Stay updated about coach and seat allotment details.
- Avoid confusion during boarding and travel.
