Important Things You Need To Know More About PNR Status

 

The terms PNR number and PNR status are frequently used by Indian Railways from the time a train ticket is purchased till the end of the voyage. Thus, before boarding the train, you must understand the PNR number and how it benefits the passengers. And how can you find out the latest confirmation information by checking the  PNR status of your waitlisted ticket? This is all the information you need to know about PNR status.

 

How Do You Find My PNR Number?

 

Every traveler who purchases train tickets receives a personal 10-digit number called a PNR number or passenger name record. Each journey has a different PNR number.

An automated PNR number is produced every time you book a ticket, whether through the IRCTC website, a railway counter, the Rail Connect app, or other websites and apps from third parties. A single PNR number is given to a maximum of 6 passengers if a group reservation is made.

 

What Does a PNR Number with 10 Digits Mean?

 

PNR numbers contain comprehensive information about a passenger or passengers and the trip. Your itinerary information is kept in the centralized database the Centre of Railway Information Systems runs whenever you purchase a train ticket from Indian Railway (CRIS).

PNR numbers contain information about the passenger, such as name, gender, and age, as well as itinerary details, such as class of travel, boarding station, and destination station quota, as well as fare.

The system that keeps the details of each booking generates a 10-digit number called a PNR. It basically serves as a reference number to access this data. The passenger and trip information is stored in the database for nine months.

 

 

Where on Your Ticket Is a PNR Number Mentioned?

 

• The PNR number is labeled in the top left corner of counter tickets.
• You receive your PNR number on emails, reservation slips, and SMS messages when you book e-tickets. The PNR number is written in a distinct cell at the top.

 

Exactly What Do the Numbers Mean?

 

Ten digits make up each PNR number. What does each number in the PNR mean, then?

The meaning of a 10-digit PNR is as follows:

• A PNR number’s first three digits are: It denotes the Passenger Reservation System, or PRS, from whence the traveler’s ticket, was issued.
• A PNR number’s first digit contains information about the railway zone from which the train originated.
• The PNR number’s final seven digits are: To make your PNR number distinct, which are random codes.
