With the festive season hitting the door, people are running Helter skelter to be with their family and friends during this season. Most of the people living far from their families or planning to spend vacations to some other place with their family have booked their train tickets, according the permissible 60 days before the journey date. Being one of the most comfortable medium of travel, this transportation system feels overloaded and so has developed a system where it can manage the show well in such busy seasons also.<\/p>\n

With every ticket, people get their PNR (Passenger Name Record) number printed on the left corner by which they can track the entire status of the ticket. Just to make it simple for the readers, a PNR number is a 10 digit number through which users can check PNR status<\/strong><\/a> of their ticket through any online portal, and can come to know whether the ticket is confirmed or is still in the waiting list or in RAC. On time information proves very much useful to travelers, and they can arrange according to the status provided by PNR.<\/p>\n

How to generate a PNR<\/strong><\/p>\n

For reservation of every ticket booked by Indian railways, a PNR is generated. The passenger is required to fill in his details in the reservation form. After that, the computer generates a numeric PNR number which always remains the same for that ticket.<\/p>\n

Details required for generating a PNR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The data required to generate a PNR are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The names of all the passengers who are going to travel with that ticket<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Age of the passengers<\/p>\n

\u2022 Date of Journey<\/p>\n

\u2022 Train Number and Name<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Preferred class( A.C. Or sleeper)<\/p>\n

Simplifying the PNR statuses<\/strong><\/p>\n

After booking the tickets, anyone can easily track it with the 10 digit PNR code. However, when one tracks the ticket, he\/she finds different codes on it. Some of the common codes written on are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 CNF: This code represents confirmed booking. It means that the ticket of the passenger is confirmed, and the coach and berth number are allotted to that person.<\/p>\n

\u2022 WL: It is the short form of Waiting list. It means that the ticket is not confirmed, and the passenger will not get a seat. However, waiting lists get confirmed depending on the cancllations.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RAC: Its full form is Reservation Against Cancellation. It means that the passenger is not allotted a specific berth but can share it with a fellow passenger with the same status.<\/p>\n

\u2022 CAN\/MOD: It shows that the ticket has been cancelled or modified<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tatkal \/CK:This shows that the ticket has been booked in Tatkal quota booked 1 day prior to travel.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Released: It is an option when the ticket is not confirmed, but the passengers are compensated with the best alternative option.<\/p>\n
