Your PNR (Passenger Name Record) is a unique 10-digit number printed on every Indian Railways ticket. ChaloTrain lets you check your PNR status instantly — whether your booking is Confirmed (CNF), on the Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC) list, or on the Waitlist (WL). You can also see your coach number, berth number, and chart preparation status.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Indian Railways and ChaloTrain

How do I check my PNR status?

Enter your 10-digit PNR number on ChaloTrain's PNR Status page and click "Check PNR Status". You'll instantly see your booking status (CNF/RAC/WL), coach number, berth number, and passenger details. No login required.

What does CNF, RAC, and WL mean?

CNF means your ticket is Confirmed with a berth assigned. RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) means you can board but share a side-lower berth — you may get a full berth if someone cancels. WL (Waitlist) means you're on the waiting list. For e-tickets, WL tickets are auto-cancelled with a full refund if not confirmed by chart preparation.

How can I track my train live?

Use ChaloTrain's Live Train Status tool. Enter your train number and journey date to see live running status — current location, delay in minutes, and expected arrival time at every station. Data is sourced from the National Train Enquiry System (NTES).

How do I find trains between two stations?

Use ChaloTrain's Train Search tool. Enter your source station code (e.g., NDLS for New Delhi), destination station code (e.g., BCT for Mumbai Central), and journey date. You'll see all trains on that route with timings, duration, available classes, and seat availability.

When does Tatkal booking open?

Tatkal booking opens 1 day before the journey date. For AC classes (1A, 2A, 3A, CC, EC), it opens at 10:00 AM. For non-AC classes (SL, 2S), it opens at 11:00 AM. Tatkal seats fill up within minutes, so be ready before the opening time.

How do I check seat availability for a train?

Use ChaloTrain's Seat Availability tool. Enter the train number, source and destination station codes, travel class, quota, and date. You'll see a date-wise grid showing availability (AVL = available, RAC = partial, WL = waitlist) for the next 7 days.

Is ChaloTrain affiliated with IRCTC or Indian Railways?

No. ChaloTrain is an independent railway information portal and is not affiliated with IRCTC or Indian Railways. We provide railway information for general reference purposes. For booking tickets, please use the official IRCTC website or authorized booking agents.

How do I check train fare?

Use ChaloTrain's Fare Inquiry tool. Enter the train number, source and destination stations, travel class, and quota to see the exact fare including base fare, reservation charge, superfast charge, and applicable taxes.
