I cannot comment much on the disability quota because I always book
under the General quota, as I do not avail any concession. However, as
far as my understanding goes, if someone wants to avail a fare
discount, they are required to select the PwD quota and make a
reserved booking under the PwD category.

Thank you for responding to my query.
I also use the Rail1 app, and when I compare it with IRCTC, I
find Rail1 very useful and user-friendly, especially because of
its easy navigation while booking tickets. Recently, I’ve started
using Rail1 more often.
However, I’m facing a small challenge with Rail1. While booking
tickets under the general quota, we cannot use our train pass—it
only works when booking under the disability quota. On the other
hand, the IRCTC app allows us to use the train pass for both
general and disability quota bookings.
This issue with Rail1 is not an accessibility problem; it seems
to be related to the app’s interface. I tried to find the official
IRCTC support team email ID to escalate this challenge, but I
haven’t been able to find the correct one yet. Do you think it’s
possible to raise this concern with the IRCTC support team as an
accessibility-related improvement?
Thanks and regards

Hi dear group members,
My name is Srinivasarao Bathula, and I am from Hyderabad.
I am a visually impaired person, and I have recently
joined this group. I am very happy to be part of Access
India and to learn how to accept challenges and find
solutions with the support of this community.
Recently, I have been facing an accessibility issue with
the IRCTC Android app after its latest update. Earlier,
train search results were easy to read using TalkBack, as
all details were announced in a single continuous format.
However, after the update, the same information is now
broken into multiple lines, which makes navigation
confusing and time-consuming for screen reader users.
Because of this change, booking or even checking train
details has become quite difficult for me.
I would like to know:
•
Has anyone else faced similar issues with the IRCTC
Android app?
•
Are there any workarounds or solutions you are using?
•
Have you reported this issue to IRCTC, and did you receive
any response?
Thank you so much for your time and support.
Looking forward to learning from your experiences.
