  1. Step-by-Step Guide to PNR Status Check for Railway Passengers September 9, 2025 Traveling by train is one of the most convenient and affordable ways to explore India. But for every railway passenger, one question always matters the most — “Is my train ticket confirmed?” This is where PNR Status Check becomes important. By checking your PNR status, you can easily know whether your seat is confirmed, waitlisted, or under Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC). In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of checking your railway ticket PNR status in a simple and reliable way.

  2. What is a PNR Number in Railway Tickets? PNR stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a 10-digit unique number printed on the top left corner of your train ticket. This number stores all the essential details of your journey, such as: ● Passenger name and age ● Train number and train name ● Date of journey ● Seat/berth and coach details ● Booking status (Confirmed, RAC, or Waitlisted) ● Current status after chart preparation Since train tickets are booked in large numbers, the PNR status helps passengers track whether their ticket is confirmed for travel. Why Should You Check PNR Status Before Travel? Many passengers skip this step, but checking your PNR status can save you from last-minute surprises. Here’s why it is important: ● To confirm if your seat is allotted or still waitlisted

  3. ● To check berth number and coach position before boarding ● To stay updated with real-time changes in booking status ● To avoid confusion during peak travel seasons and festivals Step-by-Step Guide to Check PNR Status 1. Visit the RailRestro Website ○ Open http://www.railrestro.com on your mobile or desktop browser. 2. Go to the PNR Status Page ○ On the homepage menu, click on “PNR Status” option. 3. Enter Your 10-Digit PNR Number ○ Type the PNR number from your railway ticket (printed or e-ticket). 4. Click on ‘Check Status’ Button ○ Hit the button to fetch your ticket details. 5. View Your Current Ticket Status ○ Instantly see whether your ticket is Confirmed (CNF), Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC), or Waitlisted (WL) along with coach and berth details. Understanding Common PNR Status Codes When you check your PNR status, you’ll see short codes. Here’s what they mean: ● CNF (Confirmed) – Your ticket is confirmed, and berth/coach details will appear. ● RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) – You have a shared berth and may get a full seat if another passenger cancels.

  4. ● WL (Waitlisted) – Your ticket is not confirmed yet; you can only travel if it gets upgraded to RAC or CNF. ● CAN (Cancelled) – The ticket has been cancelled. Tips for Passengers While Checking PNR Status ● Always check your PNR status at least a day before your journey. ● During peak seasons, keep an eye on real-time updates to avoid last-minute confusion. ● If your ticket is still WL after chart preparation, you cannot board the train with that ticket. ● Use official platforms or trusted apps for accurate status updates. Conclusion Checking your PNR status is the easiest way to stay stress-free while traveling on Indian Railways. With just a 10-digit number, you can confirm whether your seat is secured or still pending.
