Confirmed Reservation
It implies that you hold a confirmed ticket with the coach and berth No on the ticket. However, for passengers travelling by AC First and First Class, the seat/berth Nos are not mentioned on the ticket. Earmarking of seat and berth No. can be seen from the final Reservation Chart.
Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC)
The legend RC appearing on tickets and the reservation charts indicates RAC status. This means that you are provided reserved sitting accommodation initially. On any berth falling vacant due to cancellation or confirmed passengers not turning up, you will be allotted according to priority.
Waitlisted Tickets
If your ticket bears the legend WL as current status, it means your tickets are not confirmed at the time of reservation. It would be advisable for you to check the status of your ticket after the finalization of the reservation chart to find out whether your tickets are confirmed. If they are still waitlisted, do not board the reserved coaches.
There is a limit on issue of waitlisted ticket in different classes by all the trains in computerised system. Waitlisted tickets will not be issued beyond this limit.
Every endeavour is made by the Railways to attach additional coaches by important trains in case there is long waiting list (within the limit) to clear extra rush. In that event, it is likely that you may get confirmed accommodation by such trains. This can however be checked after finalisation of the reservation chart. The passengers found travelling in Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Jan Shatabdi Exp trains with waitlisted tickets will not be excess charged and dealt with as in the case of waitlisted passengers traveling in Mail/Express trains.
