TravelKhana Helps Find PNR Status

The Indian Railway network is among the top huge networks across the world. Passengers travelling by these trains usually have to have confirmed reserved tickets. Whenever passengers buy a ticket from the computerized ticketing system, a ten-digit PNR number is generated. It is printed on the top of the eticket issued by the IRCTC. If there is a clear seat available at the time of booking a ticket, the passenger can buy a confirmed ticket. The seat number and the coach number will be mentioned on the ticket. The passenger can reach the station on the day of the journey and occupy that seat.

• RAC and Waitlisted Passengers -

But if a clear seat is not available when the passenger is trying to book a ticket, the IRCTC offers a ticket in anticipation of some tickets being cancelled by passengers, who have booked them earlier. These are RAC tickets and the passengers get a waiting list number. In such a case, the PNR becomes a vital number for further enquiries and information. The PNR (passenger name record) number serves as the reference for the passenger. The passenger has to keep checking the PNR status until a confirmed eticket is issued. An RAC ticket will ensure passenger at least a seat. If there is a cancellation of a ticket, the passenger with RAC ticket will get it on priority. Passengers have to keep checking the PNR status until 24 hours prior to boarding the train.
