PNR Status or Passenger Name Record Status is a database record of a Computer Reservation System that contains the details of passengers travelling by airline or railway. When passengers book railway or airline tickets, the travel agent or service will create a PNR in CRS and will provide you a number, which you can use to check the status of your booking. When we book Indian Railway tickets, we get a 10-digit PNR number which can be used to check the status of your reservation, whether your seat is confirmed or not. Every year millions of people use Indian railway from travelling from one place to another, most of the time, the travelling plan is made at last moment and the traveler is worried whether his seat has been confirmed or is still in waiting list. At such situations, you can use your PNR number to check the status of your reservation. In fact, Check PNR Status is one of the most searched keywords in India.
