IRCTC Next Gen Portal has really simplified things for users and the best part about the new portal is that it has integrated all the services. Another advantage of the new system is that you do not have to take a print out of the ticket anymore. The SMS works as your ticket. This not only saves paper but it also makes it convenient for the people to travel.
There are times when you would have booked a ticket in RAC Status or in Wait list Status and in such cases, it becomes mandatory to check the PNR status for the confirmation of ticket. There are two ways to check your PNR Status and you can check the PNR status via SMS Service as well as IRCTC Website.
Here is the information about both the ways to check the PNR Status.
