Why PNR status today matters

On the travel date, status can change quickly because cancellations, quota releases and chart preparation are close.

What to check first

Check passenger-wise current status, chart prepared status, train number, journey date, and coach or berth details if available.

For WL and RAC tickets

If the ticket is WL or RAC, enable WhatsApp alerts and check again near chart preparation for the final outcome.

For confirmed tickets

Even with CNF, verify coach and berth details after chart preparation and check live train running status before leaving.

Frequently asked questions

What time does chart preparation happen today?

Chart preparation happens approximately 4-6 hours before the scheduled departure of the train from its originating station. For trains originating at midnight, chart is usually prepared by 6-8 PM the previous evening.

My PNR is still WL — should I go to the station?

Do NOT go to the station with a WL ticket after chart preparation. Check your PNR status first — if it is still WL after chart prep, your ticket has been auto-cancelled and you will not be allowed to board.

How quickly does WhatsApp alert come after status changes?

PNR Alert sends WhatsApp notifications typically within 1-5 minutes of a status change being reflected in the IRCTC system. Enter your PNR now to subscribe.

How often should I check PNR today?

Check once now, then again near chart preparation or use WhatsApp alerts to avoid manual refresh.

Can PNR change after chart prepared?

Most final ticket status is settled around chart preparation, but always verify official information before boarding.
