RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) in PNR means you have a reserved seat but may share a side lower berth with another RAC passenger. You can board the train on RAC. If more passengers cancel, RAC can upgrade to full berth (CNF) before or during the journey.
When your PNR shows RAC, your ticket is partially confirmed — you have a seat to sit, but sleep berth may be shared until cancellations clear.
