If your train ticket has acronyms like CNF, WL, or RAC, you're not alone in being confused. Here's what each means—and how it determines if you're going to sit, share, or stand.
📌 Status Codes Explained
| Code | Meaning | Seat Assured? |
|---|---|---|
| CNF | Confirmed | ✅ Yes – berth allocated |
| RAC | Reservation Against Cancellation | ⚠️ Shared seat/berth |
| WL | Waitlisted | ❌ No seat – won’t board unless updated |
🧾 Additional IRCTC Terms
- PQWL – Pooled Quota Waitlist: for interconnecting routes.
- RLWL – Remote Location WL: from smaller station quotas.
- GNWL – General WL: best chance of confirmation.
- TQWL – Tatkal Waitlist: used for last-minute Tatkal tickets.
📊 What Happens at Charting Time?
- WL → RAC → CNF upgrades happen automatically.
- WL after charting = ticket gets auto-canceled.
- CNF passengers may be reshuffled in rare cases post-cancelations.
