PNR Status Check: It is important to check PNR status before train travel. Information about changes in coach, seat, and timing is available in time. Know the status easily through SMS, app, website, or railway counter. This keeps the journey worry-free.

PNR Status Check: There are many tasks in train travel. Booking tickets, packing, making a schedule according to the timetable, and most importantly confirming the seat. Often in the crowded season or even after booking on popular routes, the ticket goes into the waiting list or RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation). In such a situation, checking PNR status becomes very important.

Everything doesn't need to be fixed once the confirmation is received. Many times, as the date of travel comes closer, there may be changes in the coach number, seat number, or schedule. If you are traveling with family or you have a very tight schedule, then checking PNR from time to time will make your journey comfortable and without any tension.

Easy ways to check PNR status

Checking PNR has now become very easy. Let us know how you can stay updated in some simple ways.

Get PNR status through offline SMS: If you do not have internet in your phone or you are traveling in a low network area, then also PNR can be checked through SMS. You can know the status by sending an SMS of your 10-digit PNR number to the designated number of the railways. This method is also very effective for elderly passengers.

Use mobile apps: Nowadays most people use smartphones. Through many travel apps (like IRCTC Rail Connect, MakeMyTrip, Paytm etc.) you can know the PNR status in real time. These apps also send you immediate notifications of changes.

Get information from the railway station counter: If you are not very comfortable with technology, then you can also check PNR status by going to the ticket counter of the station. You just have to tell the PNR number, the staff will give you the latest information.

Use the link in email confirmation: If you have booked a ticket online, then a confirmation mail comes to your registered email. It often also has a direct link, through which you can easily check the status of your ticket.

Check details on the official website: You can also get confirmed information from the official website of IRCTC or railways. Here you get information about seat, coach, berth, train number, station details and platform. This method is considered the most reliable from laptop or computer.

Save the status in booking history: If you travel frequently, then login to your account on the app or website and save the PNR in the booking history. This will save you from searching again and again and you will get information about old and upcoming tickets at one place.

Now many apps also have the 'Train Running Status' feature, through which you can also see the real time movement of the train. With this you can also know whether your train is running late or on time.
