IRCTC and Getting PNR Status Online, Via Phone and SMS

If you make reservations at the IRCTC website or any other booking platform like Zoomtra.com a couple of days prior to your journey date, there is no guarantee that you get a confirmation. Of course, your ticket is assigned with a waiting list number. If you want to know the status of your reservation online, also called PNR Status, all you need to do is visit the related page and enter your PNR number. The PNR status tool is user friendly and is run at both the IRCTC and Indian Railways website to the advantage of the travelers. Well, if your waiting list is too long there are less chances that you get a reservation. But you never know; luck may favor you! So keep on checking your PNR status at the IRCTC or any other checking platform and know the status of your reservation.

Train reservation list is updated round the clock so you get updated PNR status every time you search it online. IRCTC also facilitates passengers know their PNR status via other means, i.e. by telephone or via SMS. All you need to do is dial 139. To get PNR status by SMS, the same number is applicable.
