I have booked my ticket online and I am getting this PNR number (6524575603) after booking the ticket. But after the final chart preparation, my ticket got released (RELD) and a new PNR number is generated.
You can check the current status of this PNR is RELD/0. You can also check the new PNR number in the remarks section. Also, my berth details will come with the new PNR number instead of the old PNR number.

Note: You will get the ticket on the same train in which you have booked your train ticket.
