CNF stands for Confirmed, a rail and transit abbreviation.

Indian Railways booking status showing that the passenger has a confirmed seat or berth, often followed by the coach and berth number, such as CNF/B2/45/LB. Status changes to CNF once a waitlisted or RAC ticket clears.

Example: PNR status says CNF/S5/32 now, so we have a sleeper berth.

Usage notes

The berth code that follows, such as LB, MB, UB, SL or SU, shows lower, middle, upper, side lower or side upper. Confirmed passengers are listed on the reservation chart displayed on coaches. Tickets booked under quotas such as Tatkal follow the same notation.
