What is PNR Status?
PNR stands for ‘Passenger Name Record’. It is the unique < 10 Digit > number linked to each railway booking / train ticket done either online or offline. This applies to either individual or a group booking.
A single PNR number can be generated for a maximum of six passengers. You will find it on the top left corner of your railway ticket.
It is a travel record maintained by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) in their Centralized Reservation System containing entire passenger details such as Name, Gender, Age, Contact; and journey details like Train Number, Class, Berth Preference, Boarding Date, Boarding Point, Destination amongst others.
With a PNR Number you can follow up with the Current Status of your reservation and check whether it is confirmed or not.
When all the available seats on a train are sold, the system releases RACs (Reservation Against Cancellation). Once all the RAC quota is exhausted, WL (Waitlist) Tickets are released. So, if a person cancels his/her confirmed booking, the next person in queue is moved up in the same order. Quite simple.
