]]> Budget 2025 : Senior citizens have high expectations from Budget 2025. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the budget on February 1, 2025. This will be the first full budget of the third term of the Modi government.

In such a situation, senior citizens are hoping for the re-implementation of the pre-Covid facility. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Indian Railways used to give 40% to 50% discount on train tickets to senior citizens. This facility was applicable on trains like Mail, Express, Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto. Men aged 60 years or above used to get 40% discount and women aged 58 years or above used to get 50% discount. But this discount was discontinued during the pandemic and was not restored even after the situation in the country became normal.

Demand to restore exemption increased

Senior citizens say that after retirement their sources of income become limited. The discount on train tickets made travel affordable for them, so that they could easily meet their family or go on religious trips. Since the discontinuation of this discount in 2020, senior citizens have been constantly demanding its restoration. They say that this discount was not just financial help, but also gave them an opportunity to travel to different parts of the country.

Will there be relief in Budget 2025?

On February 1, 2025, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the first budget of the third term of the Modi government. Senior citizens hope that their long pending demand will be fulfilled this time. If the railway discount is resumed, then lakhs of senior citizens will get direct benefit from it. They will be able to avail the discount on ticket booking in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and other trains again.

Will the government give good news to senior citizens?

Now it remains to be seen whether the government includes this demand of senior citizens in Budget 2025 or not. This step will not only provide relief to senior citizens but will also show the government’s sensitivity towards the elderly.
