What is a PNR?
Passenger Name Record is a unique number that identifies your booking. Indian Railways (and hence IRCTC) has a 10-digit numeric PNR number. PNR is per ticket and not per person.
Where to find my PNR?
On a paper ticket issued in a railway booking counter or IRCTC i-ticket, the PNR number is on the top left of the ticket. The number is usually split into 3-7 (e.g. 432-1234567). On an IRCTC e-ticket, this comes as a message alert to your mobile and is also found in the top left box of the first table in your ticket.
What is "chart not prepared" status?
The final reservation chart for a train is prepared typically couple of hours before its departure. In case of early morning or late night trains, this may be prepared much earlier during the previous night itself. The significance of this status to a reservation status is because of the fact that your reservation status could change any time until chart is prepared. Though very rare, it does happen that an RAC ticket go back to wait-listed status. It is also possible as per Railways that a ticket that moved from WL to CNF can move back to RAC or WL. This will not happen for a ticket which was CNF during booking itself.
