PNR is short name for 'Passenger Name Record'. It is a record in the database of Indian Railways computer reservation system (IR-CRS) against which journey details for a passenger, or a group of passengers are saved.

To be specific, when a reserved railway ticket is booked for a train in Indian Railways, all the details of passengers are stored in relational database of centralized reservation system. These details are associated with a unique ten digit number. This reference number is called PNR and it is printed on the ticket.

Passenger's personal information like name, age, gender etc. is saved in the database against this reference number. It includes columns to store booking status and current status of the ticket.

As we know every train has limited number of seats, sometime one may not get a confirmed reserved ticket. Booking status of such waitlist (W/L) ticket changes when there is any availability of reserved seats due to cancellation. This new current reservation status is generally known as PNR status .

PNR number is generally printed at the top left corner of the printed tickets (tickets that are taken from railway station booking window). In case of the E – Ticket (tickets that are booked online or through IRCTC website), it is mentioned at top in separate cell.

First Indian Railway train was run in 1853 between Mumbai and Thane. Mumbai and Thane are western coastal districts of Maharashtra. Current Indian Railway trains are the result of gradual development in technology. Today it runs thousands of daily express and local passenger trains. Railway has categorized these trains according to their average speed and number of halts on their route. Below are the list of train types:

Metro Trains: These trains are equipped with latest technologies and facilities. It currently runs in few metro cities of India like Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata. Such metro trains are in demand and government had planned its expansion in other metro cities as well. Metro Rail tickets do not generate unique PNR number because one can not reserve a seat in these trains. These are moderate in speed and generally runs on their scheduled time.

Suburban Locals: They run only in few big Indian cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. These are also examples of trains for which seat reservation is not possible and hence one can not get pnr status for tickets. These are further divided into slow locals and fast locals. Slow locals halt on every station while the fast ones halt only on main important stations.

Passenger Trains: Passenger trains can also be further classified into slow and fast passenger trains. They run between important small distanced cities.Slow passenger trains have stoppage at every single station in between their route. Reserved tickets are not available and hence unique pnr number generation is not done for tickets.

Express & Super-fast Express: These trains are relatively faster than the above mentioned. They run across long distances and one can book a reserve ticket in these trains. As tickets are reserved, booking system generates unique ten digit pnr number on each tickets to identify the traveler. PNR status checking facility are made available for non reserved train tickets.

Shatabdi and Janshatabdi Express Trains: These are high speed trains available in Indian Railway to connect moderate distanced important stations. They do not have sleeper coaches. They only contain seats for seating. Main difference between Shatabdi and Janshatabdi trains is that Janshatabdi trains have both AC and non AC coaches while Shatabdi trains are fully air-conditioned. Seats can be reserved and pnr status can be checked.

Garib Rath: These trains have AC 3 tier coaches and ticket price is relatively lower than the other air conditioned trains. One can check pnr status of Garib Rath at trainspnrstatus.com

Rajdhani Express: These are fully air conditioned trains and connects major cities of India. They are high priority trains and generally runs on their scheduled time. They have very few stoppage in between their route. Seat reservation facility is available in these trains. One can check Rajdhani Express pnr status on this website.

Duranto Express: These are source to destination train service started recently by Indian Railway. From source to destination means, these trains do not stop on any station that comes in their route

Based on some predefined rules, railway allots different types of waitlist quota on tickets when ticket is not confirmed.

GNWL (General Waiting List): Liklihood of confirmation for GNWL ticket is on highest priority. You may get a GNWL quota, if you are starting your journey from a station close to train source station and ending your journey at a station close to train destination station.

CKWL (Tatkal Waiting List): If you are booking your ticket under tatkal quota, you get CKWL status when tickets are unreserved. It is important to note that GNWL tickets will confirm first and then CKWL. Hence there is a very less chance that a CKWL ticket will be confirmed.

Apart from these two popular waiting list quotas, Indian Railways has defined some other W/L quotas in long journey trains like RLWL (Remote Location Waiting List), RQWL (Request Waiting List), PQWL (Pooled Quota Waiting List), RLGN (Remote Location General Waiting List) and RSWL (Roadside Station Waiting List). Confirmation chances for these types of waitlist tickets are very less.

For most Indians, train travel is a routine part of their lives. Be it holidays or work-related travel, trains are indeed a common choice. With one of the largest rail networks in the world, the Indian railways ferry over a million passengers on a daily basis. The PNR number system plays a crucial role in managing such a colossal web. If you are planning to travel make sure you are well aware of the working of the PNR number. Read on to learn more about the PNR no. and how to check the live PNR status on redRail.

What is PNR Status?

PNR, which stands for Passenger Name Record, is a unique and critical number. It is a 10-digit system-generated number provided by the IRCTC when you book your train ticket. The PNR is like a digital certificate that contains the journey details of one or more passengers. To know or check any travel details, you must know the IRCTC PNR status.

How Does IRCTC PNR Status Help in Planning a Train Journey?

The PNR status is an ideal way to check the ticket status, reservation and availability of seats, booking details, and confirmation of your travel. Knowing your PNR status allows you to stay updated about everything related to your train journey. Any change in train schedule or your reservation details will enable you to plan ahead and, thus, ensure a safe and comfortable trip.

The Indian Railway PNR status helps in planning a train journey for multiple reasons:

  • Confirmation of Booking : PNR status allows travelers to verify if their train booking is confirmed, waitlisted, or under reservation against cancellation (RAC). It helps in planning the journey with certainty.
  • Journey Preparation : If the ticket is waitlisted or RAC, checking the PNR status helps understand the likelihood of getting a confirmed seat, enabling better preparation.
  • Seat and Berth Details : Once the ticket is confirmed, the PNR status provides detailed information about the coach and seat/berth number, essential for a comfortable journey.
  • Travel Updates : PNR status often includes essential updates about the journey, such as changes in train schedule, platform number, or any delays, helping travelers adjust their plans accordingly.
  • Group Travel Coordination : For group bookings, PNR status checks ensure that all group members are informed about the train ticket status, making coordination easier.
  • Alternate Planning : In cases of unconfirmed tickets, knowing the PNR status well in advance helps in making alternate travel arrangements if needed.

Regularly checking PNR status is a proactive step in ensuring the best train journey experience.

PNR is the abbreviation for Passenger Name Record and PNR number is a 10-digit number that you get against every train ticket you book. This number is unique, which means the PNR number for each journey will be different. Irrespective of how you book your ticket – from counters, through IRCTC website, Rail Connect App or third-party websites and apps – your ticket will certainly contain a PNR number. When you make reservations for a group, a single PNR number is given to a maximum of 6 passengers.

Simply put, PNR number contains details about a passenger/s and the journey. Whenever you reserve a ticket in Indian Railway trains, your personal as well as itinerary details are stored in the database run by the Centre of Railway Information Systems (CRIS). This includes details about the passenger (name, gender, and age) and details about the itinerary (train name, number, seat, class of travel, station, quota, fare, reference ID, and the like). A 10-digit number – that is a PNR number – is generated by the system which corresponds to the information fed and stored against each booking. In other words, it is a reference number to access this information. The passenger and itinerary details will remain in the database for 9 months, after which it is deleted.

Whether you are booking a counter ticket or e-Ticket, all reserved bookings have a PNR number. When you book your tickets online through IRCTC, your PNR number will be on the ERS (Electronic Reservation Slip) and it will also be sent via SMS and email to your registered mobile number and email address.

PNR Number on Counter Tickets: For counter tickets, you can find the PNR number printed on the top left corner. Here is an example:

journey booking status

PNR Number on eTickets and other Digital Receipts: For electronic tickets, reservation slips, emails with seat position and reservation details, etc., you can find the PNR number on the top.

journey booking status

As mentioned, every PNR number contains 10 digits. The first three digits of a PNR number signify the Passenger Reservation System or PRS i.e. from which PRS the particular ticket was issued to the passenger. Of these, the very first digit stands for the Railway Zone from where the train originates.  The remaining seven digits are random numbers that are generated to make your PNR number unique.

The following numbers are assigned to the different Railway Zones in India:

PNR number gives you information about the booking status and current status of your railway ticket reservation, along with seat/coach position and other details about the train and your journey. For instance, if you have a Waitlisted seat at the time of booking and you want to know whether it is moved up the list or got confirmed, you can check for confirmation update using your PNR number. This current reservation status is also known as PNR Status. You can access the following information by checking the PNR status:

  • Train number
  • Coach, seat number, and quota
  • Date of journey
  • Booking status (whether it is waitlisted, confirmed RAC, etc. at the time of reservation)
  • Current status (whether it is waitlisted, confirmed RAC, etc. at the time of checking)
  • Ticket charges
  • Class of travel (1 AC, 2 AC, CC, SL, etc.)
  • Status of Chart Preparation (Chart Prepared / Chart Not Prepared)
  • From (Station)
  • To (Station)
  • Boarding point
  • The point up to which you have reservation

There are many ways you can check your PNR status. These include:

  • Through IRCTC website (registered users)
  • Railways Passenger Reservation Enquiry (for unregistered users)
  • IRCTC mobile app called Rain Connect (for Android users)
  • Railway inquiry counters
  • Other mobile applications and third-party websites
  • Final reservation charts

Indian Railways also allows you to check your PNR status through SMS in case you don’t have access to the internet. For this, you have to send a text message to 139 in the format given below:

  • Format: PNR <10 digit PNR Number >
  • Example: PNR 4360393388

You will receive an SMS with your PNR status, confirmation updates, and journey details. This service is available for almost all major telecom service providers in India such as Airtel, BSLN, IDEA, Reliance, etc. 

Alternatively, you can check PNR status by dialing 139 from your phone. The steps are as follows:

  • Choose your preferred language as per instructions (1 for Hindi, 2 for English, and 3 for other languages)
  • Press 1 for PNR status
  • Key in your 10-digit PNR number
  • Confirm the PNR number
  • The PNR status and journey details will be read out to you

When you check your PNR status for confirmation updates, you can see that it contains several abbreviations. In order to understand the status of your reservation, you must know what each of these abbreviations stands for. Here’s a list of abbreviations used in PNR Status:

PNR Related FAQ:

Q: I am getting error status when I try checking my PNR status online. What could be the reason?

A: If you cannot get details of a PNR number or if you get error messages, it could be due to three main reasons – you have entered the incorrect PNR number, the server is down or you are checking it past the journey date and hence your PNR number is invalid.

Q: Can I get the passenger name by checking PNR number of another person on the IRCTC website?

A: No. Even though the name, age, and gender of passengers are stored in the CRIS database, you won’t be able to see those details when you check PNR status online on IRCTC website on any other sites. These details are kept confidential due to privacy reasons.

Q: Will my PNR number and journey details be stored in Indian Railway’s database forever?

A: Nope. These details will be stored in the database for a period of 9 months. After that, the details are deleted from the system.

Q: Can I see my journey details by checking the PNR status after the journey?

A: A PNR number becomes invalid shortly after the journey and it is flushed out from the server. If you check your PNR status after a few days of journey, you will get the message “Error! FLUSHED PNR / PNR NOT YET GENERATED”.

Q: How many seats are allotted on one PNR number?

A: The maximum number of passengers allocated on one PNR number is 6.

Q: I am booking a ticket for 5 passengers. Does this mean that these 5 passengers will have 5 different PNR numbers?

A: No. All passengers booked on one ticket will have only one PNR.

Q: Do unreserved tickets also have PNR numbers?

A: No. PNR number is only for reserved ticket bookings where personal and journey details of passengers are collected and stored in the database. For unreserved tickets, such details are not collected or stored and therefore, they don’t have PNR numbers.

Q: Can I travel only with my PNR number?

A: Yes, provided that you have a valid ID proof and you know the seat number reserved against the PNR number. You can approach the ticket examiner with your PNR number and ID proof and get the examiner to verify the booking.

Q: Which has more confirmation probability – General Waitlist or Tatkal Waitlist?

A: At the time of chart preparation, passengers on the General Waitlist are given priority as compared to Tatkal Waitlist passengers. So, typically, General Waitlist Tickets have more confirmation probability than Tatkal Waitlist tickets.

Q: Can I travel on another person’s PNR number?

A: No. Every PNR number has the name and details of the passenger recorded against it. The ticket examiner will be checking your ID against these recorded details. It is an offense to travel on another person’s PNR number.

How to Check Current Availability on IRCTC: A Comprehensive Guide

As any regular traveler on the Indian Railways would attest, booking train tickets, especially during peak seasons, can be a daunting task. However, did you know there’s a way to check seat availability even after the final chart is prepared? Enter the current availability feature of IRCTC.

Whether you’re a seasoned passenger or new to Indian Railways, this guide will help you navigate the process of checking current availability on the IRCTC website and introduce you to some handy alternatives. So, let’s get started!

What is Current Availability on IRCTC?

“Current availability” pertains to ticket availability and bookings after the final chart is drawn up. Typically, this chart is readied between 3 to 12 hours prior to a train’s departure. So, if you’ve missed the boat during the primary booking window, checking current availability could be your saving grace.

How to Check Current Availability on IRCTC

  • Access the IRCTC Portal: Begin by visiting the official IRCTC website and logging into your account.
  • Navigate to the “Charts/Vacancy” Option: Once inside, locate and select the “Charts/Vacancy” option.
  • Train number
  • Journey date
  • Boarding station
  • View Availability: Post submission, the platform will display vacant berths by class and coach. Seats with the prefix ‘CURR_AVL’ are up for grabs under current availability.
Note: Current bookings conclude 15 minutes before a train’s departure and are typically available at the train’s point of origin or any remote location.

Current Booking Guidelines:

  • Open to all users.
  • Only E-Ticket bookings are entertained.
  • Tickets booked during this window will always be confirmed.
  • Concessions are only extended to senior citizens and the disabled.

Why Rely Solely on IRCTC? Explore Alternatives

Though IRCTC stands as the go-to for train ticket reservations, there are other platforms to verify seat availability:

  • Railyatri: Simply input your source, destination, and travel date, then click “Search Trains”.
  • RailMitra: Key in the specific train number and its origin station.
  • ixigo: Provide the source and destination stations, specify your journey date, and hit “Search Trains”.

However, as a word of caution, always double-check with IRCTC for the most recent information.

Delving Deeper: Services Offered by IRCTC

Beyond mere ticket bookings, IRCTC extends a suite of services catering to the needs of travelers:

  • Ticketing: This encompasses everything from bookings, cancellations, to tracking trains.
  • Catering: Hungry on the move? Pre-order meals and have them served at your seat.
  • Tourism: With offerings ranging from exclusive foreign tourist passes to group reservations and even travel insurance, IRCTC leaves no stone unturned.

Familiarize Yourself with IRCTC Quotas

When booking, you’ll likely stumble upon various quota options. Familiarizing yourself with these can heighten your odds of landing a seat:

  • General Quota: By far the most popular, boasting the lion’s share of seats. Reservations kick off 120 days ahead of travel.
  • Additional quotas include Ladies Quota, Foreign Tourist Quota, Premium Tatkal Quota, Tatkal Quota, Senior Citizen Quota, and the Physically Handicapped (Divyangjan) Quota .

Booking train tickets might appear intimidating, but tools like IRCTC’s current availability make it considerably more navigable. As always, plan in advance, remain vigilant for available berths, and leverage alternative platforms for a seamless experience. Here’s to safe and pleasant journeys!
