PNR Status

PNR refers to a ‘Passenger Name Record’ that’s been recorded in the relational database of the centralised reservation system of Indian Railways. It’s shown against the journey details of passengers or a group of various passengers. By using this, you can learn the status of your seat berth on your train ticket. When you book train tickets, you get a passenger name record number through which you can check whether you have a confirmed seat or if you are waitlisted. That’s not all! You can also check other essential details like departure station, destination station, origin station, quota on which you are travelling, charting status, travel class, etc.

Please note that every train has a fixed and limited number of seats; therefore, chances are there that you may not receive a confirmed ticket. When anyone cancels their confirmed ticket, then the current status of a Waitlist ticket changes. Thus, you must check the railway status of your waitlisted train ticket.

It is important and Indian Railways keeps it in their record that includes journey details of all the passengers. Important details like Name, gender, age and other passenger’s personal information are also recorded in these databases. All these details are shown as a unique status of 10 digits. You can locate your railway enquiry number on the top-left corner of printed tickets. In case your ticket is online generated, you will find it somewhere on the top in a separate cell.

PNR confirmation probability refers to a specific term indicating the chances of getting train tickets confirmed. There might be chances that the ticket might be unavailable due to multiple factors, including peak season, festivals, traffic, weekends etc. So, in case, if it shows that the train is “Non Available” then in such situations, the railway facilitates the passenger with a waitlisted ticket for train bookings made on that specific train and train class.

The probability of confirmed tickets increases only when the cancellation chances on confirmed tickets are higher. Consequently, in any case of query related to railway PNR enquiry, you can reach out to our customer support for round-the-clock assistance.
