BEWARE SENIOR CITIZENS;*
While booking Train tickets. For travelling in trains Senior citizens have been given concession as below:
40% Concession in fare for Men over 60 years of age and
50% Concession for Women over 58 years of age .
The concession was given after much deliberations and discussions as a welfare measure towards senior citizens.
Now while booking train tickets online through IRCTC,
now a screen appears at the time of booking with two tricky option
for the senior citizens to give up the concession so far availed.
The screen comes with two option *OK* to give up the concession and *Cancel* to proceed booking with concession.
YOU MAY THINK THAT
*OK MEANS THAT YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE CONCESSION AND*
*CANCEL MEANS TO FOREGO THE CONCESSION.*
IN RAILWAY'S PARLANCE IT IS NOT SO. It should be YES or NO.
So they indulge in such jugglery of words to confuse the senior citizens/passengers.
*Always click CANCEL TO AVAIL THE CONCESSION.*
Never click OK -
As IRTC is now using technical words to loose your senior citizen benefits..... Forever
*Just spread the awareness...* 👍
