This was the exemption before the Corona epidemic
Senior citizen discounts were offered to male and female customers who were 60 years of age or older before the coronavirus pandemic broke out in 2020.
According to the Railways’ proposal, men received a 40% discount on tickets in all classes, while women received a 50% discount. The Indian Railways removed the discounted fares after the pandemic broke out.
