Problems associated with PNR Status

There are many problems, that users face frequently with our current PNR Status system. Although the system and algorithm is robust and almost bug-free, the poor servers of IRCTC and Indian Railways (CRIS) make the whole procedure no better than your worst nightmare. Let us discuss a few problems that users generally face with PNR Status system and let us find solutions for these problems.

You can visit this website for more dedicated information regarding this topic. Anyways, the most common and regressing problem associated with PNR Status is the server errors that occur due to a surge of user traffic during peak hours or holiday seasons. Despite several errors, the railway ministry is still unable to completely solve this problem.

Solution

1. If you get a server error while trying to check your train PNR Status, try reloading the page.
2. If the problem persists, use a different website for checking your current status.
3. Alternatively, you can directly login to your IRCTC account and click on your booking history tab.
4. If the problem still persists, just call the Railway hotline (139).
5. It is always better to use the official Railways website (Indianrail.gov.in) instead of IRCTC.
6. External sites such as pnrstatuss.in are also highly recommended.

Other than the server problems, even minor bugs exist in the system. Sometimes, your valid PNR number may be displayed as Flushed or Invalid number, in such case contact the railways officials concerned and explain the problem to them.
