Answer, then stop
A search is sent so we can show that result. We don't keep a database of the searches themselves.
No payment details
This site doesn't take tickets, cards, or UPI. Booking stays with IRCTC.
Not sold
We don't sell personal information, and the site doesn't run advertising trackers.
01 / Overview
IndiaTrainStatus shows train schedules, live status, station boards, fares, and PNR status. It is not Indian Railways, IRCTC, or CRIS, and you can use every tool without signing up.
A lookup is fetched when you ask for it. The page shows what the data source returns. We don't build a profile of who searched.
02 / What we handle
Three kinds of information can be involved. We don't ask for a login, a payment method, or your location.
Connection
Kept by the host, not in a profile here
What you search
Sent to our data provider for that answer
A message you send
Lives in the mailboxes, not here
03 / Why
A search is used to answer that search. It isn't used for ads.
A train, station, fare, or PNR lookup exists to put that answer on the page.
The data request is signed on the server. The access key is not sent to the page.
If you leave it on, this browser keeps a short list of recent PNRs and history dates.
04 / PNR
A PNR can identify a booking, so it is worth spelling out where the number goes.
From the form to the result
No account is created
1. You type it
In the browser
The 10-digit number stays in the form until you ask for the status.
2. We sign it
On the server
Our server asks the data provider. The signing key never reaches your browser.
3. The provider answers
The status
Coach, berth, and chart details come back from that lookup.
4. You see it
On this page
The result is shown here. We don't file it in an account, because there isn't one.
On this device: up to four recent PNRs, with the train name, can be saved in this browser's local storage. They are not copied into an account. You can turn that off in the section below.
05 / Other parties
We don't pass searches to advertisers. A lookup can be seen by the services that have to handle it.
06 / This browser
The site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Recent lookups are the only thing it writes on your device, and you can turn that off.

Answering a search Required
The search has to be sent to get an answer. This can't be switched off.
Recent lookups Optional
Up to four PNRs and up to four history dates per train, so you can open them again.
Advertising and analytics Off
The site doesn't run ad or analytics cookies, so there is nothing to switch on.
Recent lookups are saved in this browser.
07 / How long
Nothing below is an account record. The lists that last are the ones in this browser.
| Item | What it includes | Kept | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| The search we just answered | Train, station, fare, and PNR requests | For that response | Not stored in a database of ours |
| Recent PNRs | Up to 4 numbers and train names | Until you clear them | This browser only |
| History dates | Up to 4 dates for each train number | Until you clear them | This browser only |
| A message you email | Whatever you put in the contact form | The mailboxes | Your app and the desk you wrote to |
| Host request logs | Running the site | The host decides | Vercel, under its own practices |
08 / Your choices
There is no profile to download or delete. These are the controls that exist today.
Recent PNRs and history dates are in this browser. There is no account page, because we don't create accounts.
Turn off recent lookups below, or clear site data in the browser. That removes the lists from this device.
If you sent us a message, reply to that thread and ask us to disregard it. We don't keep a copy on a server.
After a lookup the address can contain the PNR or train number. Sharing the link shares that number.
