this is rule for RAC
(1A) Subject to provisions of subrule (2), no cancellation charges shall be payable if a wait-listed or RAC ticket is presented for cancellation up to :
(i) Three hours, when the ticket is for a destination station up to 200 KM.
(ii) Six hours, when the ticket is for a destination station of more than 200 KM but up...

to 500 KM., and
(iii) Twelve hours , when the ticket is for a destination station of more than 500 KM.,
after the actual departure of the train except for a deduction of a clerkage charge of Rs. 20/- per passenger.
Provided that for night train leaving between 21:00 hours and 06:00 hours (actual departures), refunds shall be admissible at the station within the time limit specified above or within four hours of opening of the reservation office, whichever is later.
(2A) Where confirmed reservation has been provided to RAC or wait-listed ticket holder at any time up to the final preparation of reservation chart, such ticket shall be treated as a reserved ticket and cancellation charges shall be payable in accordance with rules mentioned above.

This is the cancellation procedure for RAC ticket after chart preparation. In the last they have mentioned as "refunds as sanctioned by the Railway administration would be credited back to the user's account." So will it be same like normal window ticket?
RULE:-
If the user wishes to cancel his e-Ticket, he can do so till the time of chart preparation for the train (which is normally 4 hours before the scheduled departure of the train from the train starting station) through the Internet. No cancellation of e-ticket...

is permitted on-line after the chart preparation.For any claims on e-tickets to be cancelled after the preparation of Reservation charts, the user has to send an email at the earliest possible time to etickets@irctc.co.in giving full details of the ticket and stating the claim, which would then be processed by IRCTC with the Railway administration offline and refunds as sanctioned by the Railway administration would be credited back to the user's account.

I hope this answers your question:
