Indian Railways may scrap RAC, where two passengers share one berth at full fare
Indian Railways is reportedly considering abolishing the RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) system. Under RAC, two passengers share a single berth while each pays the full fare and gets only half the sleeping space. The system dates back to a period when reservations were handled manually. At that time, there was no electronic way to track cancellations and vacant berths as they happened. Its continued relevance is now being questioned in light of modern digital ticketing.
