Indian Railways PNR Status Explained
Rail PNR Status Explained: PNR is an abbreviation for Passenger Name Record. PNR is a record of travel for a passenger or group of passenger. A PNR number is generated against each booking.

If confirm ticket is not available, Railway provides a ticket with RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) OR WL (Wait List) ticket. Both RAC or WL ticket also have a PNR number.
Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC) means a passenger does not have a reserved berth. RAC only confirm that a seating capacity will be provide for sure. Also, RAC tickets will be confirmed first against each cancellation. Depending on the number of wait listed passengers, RAC tickets will be upgraded to confirm ticket. In RAC, Railways allot a single berth to 2 passengers for sitting. RAC passengers are allowed to board the train. Ticket Checker present in the train can also allot the free seat for those passengers, who are unable to board the train.

After RAC passengers, berth will be allotted to Wait List passengers in terms to their waiting number. The number of wait list for each train may vary. When maximum number of wait list will be crossed a REGRET status will come. This REGRET status define that no further booking is allowed in the train.
