Differently-abled persons can book their railway ticket at home

So far differently-abled persons were not allowed to book concessional tickets through IRCTC website. They were supposed to present the concessional form at Railway booking counter. This was a great hardship. Now they can book it on the Indian Railways’ online ticketing portal www.irctc.co.in from the comfort of their homes. Now, passengers only need to give details of the ‘Handicap Card’ number while booking the e-ticket, which will be verified by the TTE after boarding the train. The type of concession - ‘Escort’ or ‘Handicap’ can also be mentioned. Earlier, disabled persons could not avail concession while booking e-tickets.
