What is PNR and PNR status?
Indian railway assigns a unique number to each passenger when a ticket is booked. The full form of PNR is Passenger Name Record. This number is assigned to each and every passenger to maintain his/her details. Indian railways maintain these details for a certain period of time. This helps the railway to process various refunds, to know the current status, to reply to various inquiries from other departments regarding the passenger, etc., it means Indian railways identifies a passenger on the basis of his/her PNR. So, while traveling by train, the PNR is most important. For example, it happens much time and often with most of the people that their ticket is lost.

Why you should check PNR status?
PNR status inquiry is mostly done to know the latest reservation status of a passenger or a group of passengers, by the group of passenger we mean that the passengers who are traveling in a group with a common ticket like members of a family.
At the time of booking ticket, most of the people don't get a confirmed reservation when the ticket is booked. Such passenger usually gets a waiting list or RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) number.
By waiting list, Indian Railway means that a passenger with a waiting list number has to wait until someone cancels his/her reservation. The waiting list passengers are not allowed to board the train until they have an RAC or confirmed reservation ticket. The waiting list number of a passenger decrease by one when someone else who booked a ticket for you with the same train and same class, cancel a ticket. The waitlist passengers are moved to RAC reservation status and then to confirmed reservation status. The PNR status update and the process continue until the chart is prepared.
By RAC Indian Railway, means that you get a confirmed reservation when someone else who booked a ticket for you with the same train and same class, cancel a ticket. A passenger with RAC reservation status is allowed to board the train and is allotted a seat to sit.
So, now we know that the reservation status of a passenger is not stable until he/she gets a confirmed reservation status and therefore it becomes necessary for a person with Waitlist/RAC ticket to keep on checking his/her PNR status.
