Q: Why does the passenger name show as "CHAxxxx xxxxx"? A: Indian Railways masks the name before chart preparation (privacy rule). Once the chart is prepared (~4 hours before departure), the full name is shown. This is the same across all apps.
Q: Does it work on Termux?
A: Yes, 100%. Just run pkg install python, then run the install command.
Q: Do I need an API key? A: No. Everything is ready out of the box.
Q: What happens with an invalid PNR? A: You'll see an "Invalid PNR" error. The PNR must be 10 digits.
- The tool only fetches public enquiry data
- It does not send any login or password
