Do you make the most of the train journey? But you must know one thing for sure. indian Railways has given a nod to senior citizens. Revised train Ticket Booking Rules. This will have an impact on senior citizens.If senior citizens generally want to do a train journey .. they will opt for the lower berth option at the time of ticket booking. Because senior citizens cannot sit comfortably in the berths above. That is why the Lower Berth is preferred.
However, it is no longer possible to say that the lower berth will be confirmed if the lower berth is placed at the time of ticket booking. Seat availability to you depends on the number of fellow passengers you are travelling with. The irctc has recently clarified the matter.
Lower berth under Senior Citizen Quota. Males aged 60 years and above, women aged 45 years and above have a chance of getting a lower berth under this quota. It should be noted, however, that there are some conditions to this. If senior citizens travel alone or together on the same ticket, they will get a lower berth. The irctc has also clarified that, in a family, if one of the members is a senior citizen then the other member will not get a lower berth.
