Passenger Name Record Search Online
The Indian Railways or IRCTC passenger name record, or PNR, is an identification number that provides ticket holders with a range of travel information.
With the basic information on Railway arrival and departure times, the status of PNR contains information, including the reservation status. If the ticket is confirmed, now on the waiting list (WL), or is under reservation against cancellation (RAC).
The PNR status includes details of the coach and seat number and the customer's fare.
Travelling by Railway in India may result in your train ticket being placed on a waiting list. Getting a ticket in waiting is normal, and you may check your CURRENT TICKET STATUS to see if your ticket is approved.
This process is quick and straightforward to perform digitally at www.railmitra.com or the RailMitra app.
