Not a waitlist — RAC guarantees you can board and travel, initially on a shared side-lower berth (two RAC passengers per berth). A full berth is allotted on board as confirmed passengers cancel or no-show.
RAC tickets are NOT auto-cancelled at charting. If you decide not to travel, cancel (or file a TDR) at least 30 minutes before departure or the fare is forfeited.
If you cancel an RAC ticket you get the fare back minus a clerkage of ₹60 plus GST per passenger, provided you cancel at least 30 minutes before departure.
