I have booked and received my e-ticket for train travel in India. I used the irctc website, which was fine. My e-ticket shows I have a spot on a certain train..
What does that mean? Do I have a seat on that train, or not? I think it means that I get a seat when someone cancels RAC is resrvation against cancellation. RAC 1 means that the very first cancellation they get, the seat will be alloted to you. The website has a place where you can check ticket status. RAC also indicates that you have a assured Seat and against any Cancellation you will be alloted a confirmed Sleeper Berth.
I selected TWO lower berths, for me and my companion I could cancel the booked ticket, and start over I guess--not asking for TWO loser berths in the same coach? As long your Travel Date is not immediate and have a weeks time, then without any doubt you will get a confirmed accommodation. You can use the below link to enter your 10 digit PNR No.
Who knows by this time you might have already got a confirmed if there was a Cancellation. No need to cancel they Railways will allot ur berth number on day before ur journy or on a same day.. I was just wondering - which class are you travelling by? If its 3 tier AC, no problem However, if its 2 tier AC, then it could be a problem since there are fewer coaches 1 or 2 of 2 tier. To check on the RAC status or any other status to make sure whether it got confirmed or not, simply check out the PNR status and know about the exact rail status of your ticket.
It could be checked via different ways like online, SMS, and so, make sure to do check out the PNR status and have a safe journey. An RAC ticket allows you to board the train even if ticket is not confirmed. WL tickets do not allow this. But RAC may provide you only with a seating arrangement with another RAC ticket holder, with whom you have to share the berth on an overnight or day journey.
A berth is split into 2 seats for RAC ticket holders. In case, there are any last minute cancellations or unsold tickets meant for various quotas, or if any confirmed ticket holders are given free upgrades to higher classes, the RAC ticket holder is given the free birth and he can convert the two seats into one birth. The next issue is cost of cancelling RAC ticket. This depends on whether a person has E-ticket or I-ticket.
In case of E-ticket, if RAC ticket is cancelled, no refund is admissible. TDR refers to a compensation for persons who did not travel by the train they booked, for specified reasons. In Indian Railways, the stations are classified into different groups and one of them is the WL, waiting list letting travellers to wait till his or her ticket gets confirmed. The waiting listed status ticket will be confirmed only and only when another person who is having confirmed status ticket travelling in the train cancels the ticket.
GNWL is general waiting list allowing the passenger to travel from end to end. CKWL is tatkal quota waiting list that is a waiting list for all tatkal bookings. It is needed to do the booking from originating junction to the destination junction. Though, changing boarding station is always an option and could be done.
Amongst all, GNWL is been provided with the highest priority as the passengers are travelling from source end to destination end.
Each waiting list status is different and leads to a different meaning altogether. So, do take the necessary action according to the status of the ticket and travel safe. CNF means confirmed. If the ticket status is CNF, it means that your seats are confirmed.
In case, if your ticket is in waiting listed status at the time of booking and later on, it got confirmed, then the status that is depicted is CNF. The seat number is assigned once the final chart is prepared. RLWL is the remote location waiting list. Most of the trains have important junctions that are termed as remote locations in the route, and it marks the beginning of the RLWL class in them. Every train has a specific number of remote location quotas, and each one having a fixed number of seats that are reserved.
When the source station of the passenger is among one of the marked stations or few stations after that, the RLWL quota is applicable on the reservations.
Most of the trains have this quota that can be reserved one day in advance. Thus, the waiting list of this type is CKWL, irrespective of the source or destination station. Your email address will not be published. In such rare instances a RAC ticket can be demoted. Often these tickets are given preference over normal RAC bookings when queued for Confirmation. No, not in all instances! That is the general norm; however, there may be certain instances when the amount of Confirmed ticket cancellations is so high that middle or upper berth may be allotted to the passenger.
This seldom happens. At times you may find that a person with RAC ticket gets a solo berth, without the general convention of sharing. Such a pleasant surprise may come when the person allotted the same seat gets ticket confirmed at the last moment and there is no time for re-allocation.
Many people are confused by such a status. It means when you started the booking process you were at RAC 15, but during the process 6 more tickets were cancelled, so you moved up to RAC 9 at the present status. RAC tickets get confirmed only when there is a cancellation. So, the progress of your tickets is dependent on cancellations. So, you may share the same seats. Yes, it definitely can be predicted and that is what we do here at RailYatri.
Hope these answers would answer some of the questions you had about the RAC ticket system. If you have any suggestions, views or enquiries please do write back to us.
Read in Kannada. RAC tickets have many rules and regulations attached with it. But I think that it is a good facility provided by Indian railways where passengers if not allotted a berth, can now share a berth and can continue their journey in emergency.
Sometimes its troublesome in long journeys, but not a bad option in short or overnight journeys. I have RAC ticket with my wife berth no. A person on Side Upper berth 64, kept sleeping during the day.
Is this right? Indian Railways clearly mentions sleeping hours of the day. One cannot keep sleeping while others have inconvenience. You cannot force somebody sleeping on their own upper berths to wake up.
Rules about sleeping are only for lower berths. We will tell you the Confirmation Probability. Use the RailYatri app and you can find a feature named Confirmation Probability. Use this feature to get the prediction. It may be better than the ticket remaining unconfirmed but one can not avoid a feeling of getting cheated, as the railways charge full ticket fare, reservation charge etc. As a result, the passenger travelling on an RAC ticket, sharing a side lower berth with a perfect stranger, still ends up paying the same amount that a confirmed ticket holder pays!
The railway earn 81 full fares for 72 berths! During day timings upper berth holder has the provision to sit on lower side berths. Good Evening everyone.
I would like to write about one of my worst train experiences, which I faced today. These two people denied me seat in the lower window seat. I am very shocked to hear about this rule.
This rule definitely needs to changed to make journeys better. Are RAC ticket holders travelling in A. Let say I am holding RAC ticket and sharing berth with stranger. Will we both get separate Linen set? My practical experience is that the coach attendance refuse to provide pillow and blanket for each Rac tkt holder. As per his version pillow and blanket are allowed one set for each berth. Many passengers face this same problem.
As you are entitled to make the journey, similarly you are also in your rights to get bedding. We hope this will solve your problem. Seriously you know nothing. Linen set available is equal to number of seats. So sets are provided PER seat. Not per person. Where will the person who is allotted for side upper berth sit during the day? If sits on his allotted berth there will be three people sitting on the side lower.
During the day time usually the lower berth can be kept in sleeping position which will accommodate three people easily. Thats a good blog. I wish to highlight, in train where 3 side seats exist in 3 Tier.
