As per the recent Railway Budget 2011, women aged 58 years and above are treated as senior citizen and 50% concession in the railway fare is allowed, while male above 60 years and above are eligible for 40% concession effective from Apr 2011 onwards.

It is understood that the above concession is yet to be extended to the
senior citizen. I shall be grateful if anyone who has access to the Railway Board could confirm as to whether the railways have already issued necessary directives in this regard or not. My e-mail id is [protected]@rediffmail.com.
