RAC stands for "Reservation against Cancellation". It is an intermediate status between "Waitlist" and "Confirmed Ticket". With Waitlist, you cannot board the train at all.
With RAC, you get "half berth". You share a berth with another RAC passenger, and can board the train to travel. While the train is en route, if the TTE finds that some people did not board at the last minute, he will allot you the "full berth" according to your queue status. If not, then you travel the whole journey sharing the berth.

Thanks for detailing out.
And the rules for cancellation of RAC tickets (whether till charting or on charting) are same as of WL tickets. Even, on final charting, if a single passenger remains under RAC on a ticket for more than one passengers, all tickets can be cancelled and Railways will deduct charges as if the entire ticket remained under RAC.

There are other instances of RAC passenger getting a full berth in the train. As and when confirmed passengers vacate their berths (due to alighting enroute), and if the berths are not booked further, then those berths are issued to RAC passengers travelling in the train.
