Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PNR number?

PNR (Passenger Name Record) is a 10-digit unique number assigned to every booked train ticket in Indian Railways. It helps identify your booking details, train information, and passenger status. The PNR number remains the same even if multiple passengers are booked together.

How can I find my PNR number?

Your PNR number is printed on the top left corner of your physical train ticket. For e-tickets, you can find it in your booking confirmation SMS or email from IRCTC. You can also find it in the IRCTC app under your booking history section.

How often is PNR status updated?

PNR status is updated in real-time as passengers book and cancel tickets. The status changes dynamically until the chart preparation, which usually happens 4-6 hours before the train's scheduled departure. After chart preparation, the status becomes final.

Can I check PNR status without internet?

Yes, you can check PNR status via SMS without needing internet. Send an SMS in the format "PNR <10-digit PNR number>" to 139 or 5676747. You'll receive the status via SMS. You can also check by calling the Indian Railways enquiry number.
