It depends on your DNS provider. Here are the docs for this:

Hi,
You may have to wait for DNS propagation to be effective (it can take up to 48 hours).

- Check whether the TXT record is actually published
Run:
nslookup -type=TXT meeracreations.com
or
dig TXT meeracreations.com
If Railway's expected TXT record does not appear, then the DNS provider never published it correctly.
- Verify where the TXT record was created
A very common mistake:
Railway asks for something like:
Type Name Value
TXT _railway railway-domain-verification=xxxxx
But the DNS provider creates:
_railway.meeracreations.com.meeracreations.com
instead of
_railway.meeracreations.com
Check the DNS zone carefully.
- Check if the TXT was added on the wrong hostname
Many users add TXT on:
while Railway expects:
meeracreations.com
or vice versa.
The TXT hostname must exactly match what Railway displays.
- Verify nameservers
Sometimes the domain owner edits DNS in:
GoDaddy
while the domain actually uses:
Cloudflare nameservers
In that case the records shown in GoDaddy never reach the internet.
Check:
whois meeracreations.com
or use a DNS checker.
- Check for DNS propagation
TXT records can take several hours.
Use:
DNSChecker TXT lookup
Google Admin Toolbox Dig
and check whether the TXT is visible globally.
- Check if the CNAME and TXT are on the same host
Example:
www CNAME railway.app
@ TXT railway-domain-verification=abc123
This is valid.
But:
www CNAME railway.app
verify TXT railway-domain-verification=abc123
will fail if Railway expects the TXT on @.

Neither a CNAME nor a TXT record is present when I checked your DNS records. You need to add the CNAME record at www, and the TXT record at _railway-verify.www.meeracreations.com.

Yes, your TXT record would be at _railway-verify.meeracreations.com.
