PNR Status Check
Enter your 10-digit PNR number to check current booking status
What is a PNR Number?
PNR stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a unique 10-digit number assigned by Indian Railways to every train ticket booking. The PNR contains all details of your journey including passenger information, train details, coach and seat allocation, and your current reservation status.
When you book a ticket on IRCTC, a PNR is automatically generated and shared with you via SMS and email. Every ticket has its own PNR, even if multiple passengers are travelling together on the same booking.
