Cancellation Rac: Easy Method
What is Rac
Definition
RAC here refers to Reservation Against Cancellation used by Indian Railways when confirmed berths are not available. It allows passengers to board with a shared berth or travel opportunity without a full confirmed berth.
How it is used
RAC status is commonly issued on IRCTC e-tickets and is shown on the PNR. It sits between a confirmed ticket and a waitlisted ticket.
How to cancel Rac
Cancel via IRCTC website or app
- Open the IRCTC app or website and go to “Booked Tickets”.
- Select the RAC e-ticket you want to cancel and choose “Cancel Ticket”.
- Confirm cancellation; refunds (if eligible) are processed to the original payment method.
Cancel after chart preparation or file TDR
- You can still cancel or file a Ticket Deposit Receipt (TDR) up to 30 minutes before scheduled departure even after chart preparation.
- If unsure, file a TDR via IRCTC following the app/website TDR workflow to request a refund.
What happens when you cancel
Immediate effects
When you cancel an RAC e-ticket within the allowed window, the ticket status is updated and a refund request is triggered.
Refunds (if eligible) are credited back to the original payment source after deductions and processing time.
Post-cancellation processing
- IRCTC applies clerkage deductions and GST (where applicable) before refunding.
- Processing times depend on the payment method and bank; check your IRCTC transaction history for status.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund rule
Yes - RAC e-tickets can be cancelled up to 30 minutes before scheduled departure for a refund, subject to a flat clerkage of ₹60 per passenger plus applicable GST.
No refund is granted if cancelled less than 30 minutes before departure.
Exceptions and full refund situations
- If the train is cancelled or delayed by more than 3 hours, a full refund is granted without clerkage deduction.
- If the RAC ticket is auto-rejected (e.g., waitlist not confirmed), you are eligible for a full refund with no clerkage deduction.

Your consumer rights in India
Statutory cancellation/refund rights
- You may cancel RAC e-tickets up to 30 minutes before departure and receive a refund minus clerkage (₹60 + GST).
- After chart preparation, cancellation or TDR filed at least 30 minutes before departure preserves refund eligibility.
Developing policy recommendations
A parliamentary committee (Feb 5, 2026) has recommended that RAC passengers who do not get a confirmed berth should be eligible for partial or full refunds.
That recommendation may drive future policy changes but is not yet an implemented statutory right; follow official IRCTC/railway notifications for updates.

Negative perspectives

Common mistakes
Missing the cancellation window
A common mistake is attempting cancellation less than 30 minutes before departure. Tickets cancelled within 30 minutes are not eligible for refund.
Not filing TDR after chart preparation
After chart preparation many passengers assume refunds are impossible. Filing a TDR at least 30 minutes before departure preserves the refund claim in eligible cases.
