The Passenger Name Record (PNR) is a unique 10-digit number assigned to every train reservation in Indian Railways. This number holds crucial information about the journey, including passenger details, train number, journey date, and booking status.
When a ticket is booked, the PNR is generated and stored in the central database, accessible for checking reservation status online or at stations. It updates in real-time, reflecting changes in booking status, cancellations, or seat allocations.
Essentially, the PNR number ensures an organized and efficient reservation system, making it easier for passengers and railway authorities to manage travel details seamlessly.
