Railway Fare Discount: Discount in Railway Fare for Senior Citizens
Indian Railways has adopted a good way of giving discount on train tickets for senior citizens. Now senior citizens get some relief in their journey, because they have to pay less money than regular fare.
Railway Fare Discount: How much discount do they get?
Railways offers 40% to 50% discount to senior citizens, which depends on their age and gender. There are different criteria for both men and women.
This discount is applicable for all types of train tickets like Sleeper, AC and First Class. If you are a senior citizen and want to avail this benefit, you have to show your age proof and identity proof.
In this way, you can reduce your travel expenses considerably.
Vaishnav also said in response to a supplementary question that just as the entire country was connected with roads during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, similarly now under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, small and medium railway stations of the country are being developed.
