  1. What Does Each PNR Status Code Mean? Complete List for Rail Travelers When booking train tickets in India, every passenger receives a PNR Status that reveals crucial information about their journey. However, the codes and abbreviations used in PNR status can often confuse travelers. This guide explains what each PNR status code means so that passengers can plan their travel confidently by tracking their PNR status and train schedule effectively. What is PNR Status? PNR, or Passenger Name Record, is a unique 10-digit number generated after booking a train ticket in India. This number stores all ticket-related information like the passenger’s name, age, train number, travel date, boarding station, and, most importantly, the booking status. By checking the PNR status, travelers can know if their seat is confirmed, waitlisted, or in RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation). Complete List of PNR Status Codes & Their Meaning

  2. Here is a detailed list of commonly seen PNR status codes and what they mean for your train journey: 1. CNF (Confirmed) ● Your seat or berth is confirmed, and you can find the exact seat number on your ticket or by checking the latest PNR status. 2. RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) ● You are guaranteed entry on the train but may get only a side seat to share. If someone cancels, you may get a full berth. Keep checking the PNR status and train schedule for updates. 3. WL (Waiting List) ● Your ticket is not confirmed yet. You cannot board the train unless the status changes to RAC or CNF before chart preparation. 4. GNWL (General Waiting List) ● The most common waiting list status for passengers boarding from the train’s starting station. GNWL has the highest chance of confirmation. 5. TQWL (Tatkal Waiting List) ● This status appears when booking under the Tatkal quota. Lower chances of confirmation compared to GNWL. 6. PQWL (Pooled Quota Waiting List) ● A pooled quota for several small stations on the route. Confirmation probability depends on bookings and cancellations from these stations.

  3. 7. RLWL (Remote Location Waiting List) ● Issued for travelers boarding at intermediate stations. These tickets have lesser chances of confirmation than GNWL. 8. NOSB (No Seat Berth) ● Issued for children below 12 years who do not require a seat or berth allocation. 9. CAN (Cancelled) ● Your ticket has been canceled. You cannot board the train with this status. 10. REGRET/WL ● This status appears when no further bookings are allowed due to full capacity. No chance of confirmation.
