Ministry of Railways has issued a notification for extending the concession in Rail fares admissible to Orthopedically/paraplegic persons in Rajdhani / Shatadbi trains also. This comes as a follow up to the announcement made in Railways Minister's Budget speech for 2011-12 on 25th February, 2011.
Accordingly, Orthopedically handicapped/paraplegic persons who cannot travel without the assistance of escort are eligible for 25 per cent concession in 3-AC & AC Chair Car in all inclusive fares of Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. The same concession will also be admissible to one escort accompanying the concerned handicapped person.
There is no change in other terms and conditions.
The concession will be effective on tickets purchased on or after 01.06.2011. In case of tickets already issued for travel on & after 01.06.2011 refund or difference of fares will not be admissible.
How does one avail this concession?
ReplyDeleteMy friends concession certificate says Permantly Disabled & looking at his condition ANY PERSON can clearly make out... but still he doesn't get the benefit...
The Ticket issuing counter refuses to issue the ticket as they don't have it in the "Software Update"...
Suggestions eagerly awaited...
