Indian Railways<\/a> will now give separate seats to all RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) ticket holders, so they no longer have to share a berth. This new rule applies to all trains and classes where RAC tickets are issued.<\/p>\n RAC is a system that allows passengers to travel even when all confirmed seats or berths are booked. With an RAC ticket, passengers can board the train and get a seat, but usually, two RAC ticket holders share one side-lower berth. If other passengers cancel, one RAC passenger<\/a> may get a full berth, while the other continues sharing.<\/p>\n RAC status can change as the travel date gets closer, improving the chances of getting a full berth. The new rule guarantees that all RAC passengers will have their own separate seats, making travel more comfortable and less confusing, especially during busy seasons. This change provides more assurance to travellers who hold RAC tickets.<\/p>\n Earlier, two RAC ticket holders had to share one berth, especially on the side-lower seats. With this new update, travel will be more comfortable and less confusing for RAC passengers. The RAC system works in real-time, and the chances of getting an upgrade increase as the journey date gets closer.<\/p>\n Each coach has 12 to 14 RAC seats, and around 6\u20137 side-lower berths are kept for RAC passengers. If your ticket is not upgraded, you will still have a seat for the full\u00a0journey<\/a>. RAC tickets can be cancelled for a small fee, and you will get a refund based on IRCTC rules.<\/p>\n RAC is better than waitlisted tickets because you are sure to travel. You may not always get a full berth, but you won\u2019t be denied boarding. This new rule<\/a> makes RAC tickets a more reliable and traveller-friendly option.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nHow the RAC system works<\/h2>\n
