by pnrstatus4u on January 27, 2012

What is PNR?

When you book a train ticket anywhere in the country, you need to give in details such as name, location, origin and destination of journey and other details. PNR, which is an acronym for Passenger Name Record, is a number that holds all these details of your current railway ticket. In other words, this ten digit code is the identity of your train ticket.

Every ticket has a unique PNR number. It is the number that tells you about the current status of ticket booking. So, if you want to know if your seat or birth on the train is confirmed, you only have to enter the number in relevant sites or text the number to relevant helpline and you immediately get to know the current status. The status of seat confirmation is continuously updated by Indian Railways and so, you get the latest information. If your ticket is confirmed, you can also know the berth or seat allotted to you and the coach number through PNR enquiry. It saves you the trouble of checking reservation charts on railway platforms.

How to know PNR status?

One of the best sources is the official IRTCT website. There is a special icon named ‘PNR status’. Click on the icon and once the page opens, type in the digits in the allotted box. When you submit the number, the website gives you the current status. In addition to this, the other ways in which you can know the PNR status of your train ticket are listed below.

  • 139 is the number that you should call if you need to verify your PNR status. This helpline provides IVRS service. You can type the PNR number in your telephone and get its latest status. You can also type ‘PNR’ followed by the number and text it to 139 through your mobile phone.

  • You can sign up for mobile alerts on PNR status by contacting the customer care of your mobile phone network provider
  • If you stay in one of the four metros, you can dial 139 followed by the 10 digit PNR number for latest status
