Indian Railway PNR: Know its significance

What is Indian Railway PNR? What is its significance? If you are familiar with Indian trains, you don’t need to be told. Those less familiar with train traveling may still have some ignorance. Well, PNR number is the ten digit number on your train ticket which is used for all references. Your ticket is identified through this number.
