Hi!
They are saying that we can book the e-tickets from IRCTC but today I login
to the website to check whether the reservation form has been modify
accordingly or not like to enter dissability card number or something like
this. But I found no modification in the same. Have they launch any other
portal for concessional e-ticketing?
Further, we have to take in to consideration this matter from the
accessibility point also. If we have to book the ticket from IRCTC itself,
then we all aware that the accessibility is very very poor. We all have to
do something in this direction also.
Thanks and regards,
Rohiet

Some of salient features of the Photo-identity card are as follows.
