It would be easy for the authorities to identify from the list of travelers instead of personally going to everyone and asking or either doctor approaching them. Leave it empty if it doesn’t apply to you.<\/p>\n

Next thing is about the Sr. Citizen Concessions. Tick mark in the space next to senior citizen from the top. Senior Citizen (age above 60 years) can available a discount directly at the time of booking the tickets provided you need to carry a proof of age like Voter ID card or Driving License during the journey or else you be fined under extant Railways Rules. Leave it empty if it doesn’t apply to you.<\/p>\n

In the next box you need to tick whether you want to upgrade without any extra charges. Indian railways in order to utilize the available accommodations have introduced a scheme to upgrade a wait list passenger who has paid the full fare to the next higher class without any extra charge provided that there are any accommodation is available in other lower classes. Like if you are booking a wait-listed ticket in 3AC compartment and if the ticket doesn’t get conformed at the time of chart preparation, the algorithm of Indian Railways at the time of preparing the chart will allocate the lower next class to those who have ticked this box.<\/p>\n

Next things are about the Train No and Name, Date of Journey, Class is either Sleeper Class or 3AC (3 Tier AC) or 2AC(2 Tier AC). No of Berth\/ Seat which you want to book during the journey. Station From, Station To, Boarding at & Reservation Upto are the details of the stations where you want to board the train and want to reach where.<\/p>\n

Next comes the boarding Person details. You need to provide details of each person who would like to travel. The details includes Name, Sex, Age, Choice of Berth (Either lower or Upper or Middle- This is provided as for the safety of Senior Citizen). And a special section for Veg\/ Non Veg meal for Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express. If you would like to go for that then be sure to tick mark it. Per requisition form you can fill up to 6 person tickets and 2 children below five years which should be provided at next section of the form. For the children below 5 years Indian Railways doesn’t issue the tickets and also there are no charges for them to travel but they should be mentioned here if they are traveling.<\/p>\n

Next section is Onward\/ Return Journey Details. Fill this form if you are looking to book return journey tickets or onward journey tickets. You should provide details like Train No and Name, Date, Class, Station From, Station To. If this doesn’t apply to you then move to next section.<\/p>\n
