RailTC Frequently Asked Questions

A PNR (Passenger Name Record) number is a unique 10-digit code generated when you book a train ticket with Indian Railways. You can use this number on RailTC to check your current ticket status, seat details, and confirmation probability instantly.

RailTC analyzes your PNR by evaluating real-world factors that directly affect ticket confirmation probability, including waitlist position, quota type, travel class, and days left until journey. Using historical waitlist movement patterns, RailTC calculates a risk-adjusted probability to show how likely your ticket is to get confirmed based on similar past cases.

RailTC provides highly accurate data-driven probability estimates like Confirmtkt or Railyatri, but with a focus on risk transparency. Our predictions are intentionally conservative. While no tool can predict Indian Railways outcomes with 100% accuracy, RailTC helps you check the realistic likelihood of ticket confirmation.

Confirmation depends on PNR status, quota (GNWL, RLWL, PQWL), and class (SL, 3A, 2A). RailTC analyzes these specific factors to predict if your waitlisted ticket will confirm, helping you decide whether to book backup travel.

PNR confirmation chances change dynamically as passengers cancel tickets and the journey date approaches. RailTC updates predictions based on current live waitlist movement and remaining time, which is why your confirmation probability may increase or decrease on our platform.

Among waitlist types, GNWL (General Waitlist) has the highest confirmation rate, followed by RLWL (Remote Location Waitlist). RailTC's algorithm accounts for these quota differences to give you the most precise prediction possible.

Yes. Travel class plays an important role in RailTC's analysis. Sleeper (SL) tickets see more cancellations and faster movement, while AC classes see fewer cancellations. RailTC factors in these class-specific trends to generate your prediction.

Tickets have a higher chance of confirmation when there are more days left before the journey. RailTC recommends checking your status early, as major waitlist movement is rare in the last 24 hours.

No. RailTC is a third-party PNR analysis tool and is not affiliated with Indian Railways or IRCTC. Final ticket status is decided by Indian Railways during chart preparation. RailTC is designed to assist travel planning with advanced analytics, not replace official railway systems.

PNR prediction tools like RailTC should be used as guidance, not certainty. RailTC helps you understand the risk level of your ticket, but final outcomes can change due to sudden cancellations or operational decisions. For low-probability tickets, RailTC always recommends having a backup plan.

The most accurate PNR prediction comes from analyzing historical trends and real-time waitlist movement. RailTC uses advanced AI algorithms to provide one of the most reliable confirmation probability scores available, but strictly speaking, only the final IRCTC chart is 100% certain.

You can check your PNR status and prediction easily on RailTC. Simply enter your 10-digit PNR number in the search box above, and RailTC will instantly fetch your current status and calculate your confirmation probability.

Yes, an 80% chance on RailTC indicates a very high likelihood of confirmation. It means that in 8 out of 10 similar historical cases, the ticket was confirmed. However, it is not a guarantee, so we still advise monitoring the status.

Whether WL 21 gets confirmed depends heavily on the class (SL, 3A, etc.) and quota (GNWL, RLWL). A GNWL 21 has a high chance, while a PQWL 21 might be risky. Use RailTC to check the specific probability for your train number.

CNF prediction refers to the likelihood of a 'Confirmed' status. While IRCTC provides a probability percentage directly on their site, RailTC offers an independent analysis that often takes into account more granular factors like local holidays and specific train trends.

GNWL (General Waitlist) usually confirms first. RLWL (Remote Location Waitlist) has a separate, smaller quota and confirms slower than GNWL. 'WL' usually refers to GNWL. So, GNWL typically has a better chance than RLWL.

To check railway PNR confirmation, simply visit RailTC and enter your PNR number. We show you the current status (CNF, RAC, or WL) and if it's waitlisted, we provide a data-backed prediction on whether it will verify.

PNR confirmation means your ticket status has moved from Waitlist (WL) or RAC to Confirmed (CNF). This guarantees you a full berth/seat for your journey. A confirmed PNR will have a Coach and Seat number assigned.

A valid PNR is always a 10-digit number. You can verify if it's correct by entering it into RailTC. If the system fetches journey details like Train Name and Date, your PNR is correct. If it shows 'Flushed' or 'Invalid', the number may be wrong or expired.

No, PNR (Passenger Name Record) is different from a Transaction ID or Booking ID. The PNR is the 10-digit number used specifically for identifying your journey and checking your seat status on the train.
