Your PNR number is one of the most important details in your Indian Railway journey. Whether you booked your ticket online or from a railway counter, this 10-digit code is essential for tracking your seat confirmation, journey updates, and coach information. RailRestro helps you perform quick and accurate PNR enquiry using this number and also lets you view the train schedule associated with your journey.
PNR Number on Counter Ticket (Printed Ticket)
If you’ve booked your train ticket from a reservation counter, the PNR number is printed on the top-left corner of the ticket. It is a 10-digit numeric code and is unique to each ticket. This number helps identify your booking in the Indian Railways database.
Once you find it, open the RailRestro app or website, go to the PNR enquiry section, and enter this number to instantly get your live booking status and other travel-related information.
PNR Number on SMS or Online Ticket
When you book tickets online via IRCTC or a third-party app, you will receive a confirmation SMS or email. The PNR number is usually mentioned at the beginning of the message. For example:
PNR: 1234567890 | Train: 12345 | Date: DD/MM/YYY
You can also find your PNR by:
-
Logging into your IRCTC account and checking the “My Bookings” section.
-
Viewing your ticket PDF or email sent at the time of booking.
-
Syncing your ticket with the RailRestro app, which automatically saves and updates your PNR for tracking.
