dear friends, here is the text copied from the rail budget 2011-12 regarding concessions: i will upload the entire rail budget on sendspace and inform you all.
Concessions 86. At present physically handicapped persons are not entitled for concessions on Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. It is proposed to extend the concession facility to them in these trains also. 87. Press correspondents are now entitled to avail 50% concession with family once in a year. It is proposed to increase this facility to twice a year. 88. It is proposed to extend the facility to the Kirti and Shaurya Chakra awardees of travelling in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains. 89. In case of unmarried posthumous Param Vir Chakra and Ashok Chakra gallantry award winners of armed forces, it is proposed to extend the facility of card passes to the parents. 90. At present the concession for senior citizens is extended to both men and women at 60 years of age. I propose to reduce this in case of women to 58 years. I also do not want to annoy the men, and therefore, propose to increase their concession from 30% to 40%.~ Get numbers right this time, help the census with correct disability info! Question 9 relates to disability.
