PNR number in a train ticket means Passenger Name Record. It is the unique booking number on your ticket that stores your reservation details and lets you check your ticket status.

What it shows

A PNR is usually a 10-digit number on Indian Railways tickets, and it is used to identify your booking in the railway reservation system.

It can help show details like:

  • Passenger name and travel details.
  • Booking status such as confirmed, RAC, or waitlisted.
  • Train, coach, berth, and journey information.

Where to find it

You can usually find the PNR:

  • On the top left of a printed train ticket.
  • In the booking confirmation SMS or email.
