PNR stands for ‘Passenger Name Record’. It is the unique < 10 Digit > number linked to each railway booking / train ticket done either online or offline. This applies to either individual or a group booking. A single PNR number can be generated for a maximum of six passengers. You will find it on the top left corner of your railway ticket. It is a travel record maintained by the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) in their Centralized Reservation System containing entire passenger details such as Name, Gender, Age, Contact; and journey details like Train Number, Class, Berth Preference, Boarding Date, Boarding Point, Destination amongst others. With a PNR Number you can follow up with the Current Status of your reservation and check whether it is confirmed or not.

This information is collected from the indianrail.gov.in servers.

Some common abbreviations are: CNF-Confirmed, RAC - Reservation Against Cancellation, or WL - Waitlist.

When all the available seats on a train are sold, the system releases RACs (Reservation Against Cancellation). Once all the RAC quota is exhausted, WL (Waitlist) Tickets are released. So, if a person cancels his/her confirmed booking, the next person in queue is moved up in the same order. Quite simple.

Note: Even after Chart Preparations (soon before train departure) if seats are available, RAC/WL candidates can be assigned seats.

For example if you ticket says WL6/WL2 it means you joined the waitlist at no. 6 but by the time you actually bought the ticket, you moved to position 2 (due to multiple realtime factors such as cancellations etc.) Three scenarios:

1. WL#/ WL# - Waitlisted: Cannot board the Train

2. WL#/RAC# - RAC: You can board the train but may have to share a berth.

3. WL#/CNF - Confirmed: You can board the train with confirmed berth.

NF/Confirmed: Confirmed Booking. In some cases Coach/Seat/Berth number will be available after chart preparation.

RAC: Reservation Against Cancellation. You can travel with a co passenger by sharing a single seat. In case, any confirmed traveler cancels his ticket, you get his seat. You can even travel in AC coaches with a RAC ticket. The number denotes the number of cancellations you have to wait, before your ticket to be confirmed.

R##: RAC Coach No., Berth No. RAC, with two number are displayed, first one is Coach No. and the other is Berth No.
