Will the age limit change?

According to media reports, the Railway Board is planning to change the age limit for senior citizens. Apart from this, the discount on tickets will be limited to only a few categories. On the other hand, if we talk about earlier, earlier people of all categories used to get concession.

Rules will be made soon

According to the Railway Board, it is planning to give concessions to senior citizens, in which the idea is to reduce the cost of these concessions while maintaining the subsidy for senior citizens. As of now, no terms and conditions have been decided yet.

53 percent discount is available

According to the information, all the citizens traveling in the train get an average discount of 53 percent on the fare. Along with this, Divyang, students and patients get many types of concessions apart from this exemption.

In which class will the discount be given?

In the Lok Sabha, the Railway Minister was asked about the Railway Concession, whether the Railways will again give the facility of discount on train tickets. On this, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that in 2019-20, Railways has given a subsidy of Rs 59,837 crore on passenger tickets. Apart from this, the Standing Committee attached to the Parliament has suggested giving concession in train tickets to senior citizens traveling in slipper and third AC.
