The full form of RAC is "Reservation Against Cancellation". It can also be marked as a conditional reservation as a confirmed ticket can be held only if the confirmed tickets are canceled from the passenger list. Most people go for early bookings. According to railway guidelines, one should book 120 days before travel.
The schedule changes many times, so you should always have confirmed tickets downloaded. In this scenario, passengers waiting for RAC will get an opportunity to get a verified ticket which will help him in a smooth journey.
Important points to remember
- Technology has made booking a flight easier. Within minutes, individuals can quickly book a ticket through their smartphones.
- However, the railway department uses different codes to display the booking status. If tickets are available, the seat will be confirmed and the seat will fall into the waiting pool if not valid.
- In certain circumstances, a waitlist ticket can be converted to a RAC ticket, which means that you will not get a single seat, but a shared seat, i.e. two passengers with a RAC ticket have to share a seat with each other. And we can say that RAC is a half seat.
Benefits
- The main advantage of the RAC ticket is that with this ticket you will have the right to board the train.
- Individuals cannot travel with train tickets on the waiting list. So if you're traveling on a RAC ticket, there's a decent chance you'll have a confirmed berth soon, depending on whether TTE finds a slot somewhere.
- Even after the chart is announced, individuals can download the RAC tickets and the cancellation fee is only 60.
Limitations
- They have to pay the full fare.
- Repeal laws are time bound.
- He does not realize the full availability of childbirth.
