Am I allowed to board the train if I have a RAC ticket for the Indian Railways
I have an Indian Railways ticket, the current PNR status is RAC 9. Does this mean that I'm legally allowed to travel without a sleeper berth, and will be allotted a seat only?
Best Answer
Yes you are allowed to.
Once you are onboard, a ticket officer will walk through your compartment, and give him your ticket. He will assign you a birth right away or come back again er a few minutes.
Note that there is a chance you wouldn't get a sleep berth at all on some cases. I would say RAC 1-5 will have a better chance, but the rest is usually up to how many people were not present on the train.
I always find seat61 very helpful when it comes to trains. You can read more here: http://www.seat61.com/India.htm#book - when in India
