PNR Status

PNR is a 10-digit number which stands for Passenger Name Record. It is a unique number that is assigned to every booked train ticket by Indian Railways. PNR Status means the current status of booked train ticket i.e. whether it is confirmed, waitlisted or RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation). It provides passenger's basic information like name, age & sex, date of the journey, train details and ticket booking status.

Types of PNR Status

Here are the different PNR status types provided:

  • CNF - It means confirmed. The ticket status shows as CNF when seats are confirmed.
  • RAC - It stands for Reservation Against Cancellation meaning the train ticket has a confirmed seat but wait-listed berth. If the tickets are booked under RAC status, then the allocated berth has to be split into two seats.
  • CAN - It means Cancelled i.e. ticket has been cancelled.
  • WL - Waiting List is a ticket status that gets confirmed only if the passengers on the same train who have booked before you cancel their ticket.
  • GNWL - General Waiting List. The probability of this ticket status getting confirmed is very high.
  • PQWL - Pooled Quota Waiting List status is issued when a passenger is travelling from the origin station to a station short of the last station, or from an intermediate station to the last station, or between any two intermediate stations.
  • RLWL - Remote Location Waiting List means a ticket has been issued to a passenger for intermediate stations (between the origin and terminating station). These intermediate stations are usually the most important towns on the route in particular.
  • TQWL - Tatkal Quota Waiting List. This is the waiting list for tatkal tickets. The tickets in Tatkal get confirmed directly, instead of going through RAC. However during chart preparation GNWL is preferred over TQWL.
  • NOSB - It stands for NO SEAT BERTH which means journey is allowed without seat. This is allotted to child passengers below age 11 years.
