Wl in train: Seeing “RAC

Seeing “RAC” or “WL” on your train ticket and not sure what it means? These are critical IRCTC seat statuses that determine whether you'll get a confirmed seat or not. Here's a complete breakdown so you can travel confidently. "WL" stands for Waitlist or Waiting List in IRCTC. This status indicates that all seats or berths for your chosen train are already booked. Passengers with a WL status must wait for their tickets to be confirmed if others cancel their tickets.
