RAC stands for reservation against cancellation. The passengers whose names figure under R.A.C., are provided reserved sitting accommodation initially and are likely to get berths becoming vacant due to last minutes cancellation of reservation of passengers not turning up in time before the departure of the train,.

RAC means reservation against cancellation, in reality you already have a seat, the berth will be made available against cancellation of reserved tickets.
