before providing such facility RAILWAY SHOULD MAKE THEIR WEBSITE ACCESSIBLE.

Hold on, there must be some reason why Railway has to introduce a card to
extend this facility. At least, good that they have finally realized the
need.

Why another card again? We have to produce different forms of
certificates in different places. They can verify and accept the medical
certificate issued by competent authorities. Senior citizens have to
travel with some sort of proof of age. We can do the same.

Dear Friends,
Good news indeed but let us wait for the final notification and
methodology. Hope this materializes faster but knowing our
bureaucracy, we may still have to negotiate and wait.

hi friends,dreem come true...great news by times of india...NEW DELHI:
Soon, differently abled people can book rail tickets online at
concessional fares that they are entitled to. At present, differently
abled people have to go to railway reservation counters to book
tickets if they want to avail the fare concession given by railways.
"The railway board is ready with the plan to facilitate online ticket
booking for its special passengers," a senior official said.
The plan is to issue identity cards with specific numbers to each
differently abled person which will be built into the computerized
passenger reservation system (PRS) across the country. "This will
ensure that differently abled persons can avail fare concession even
while booking tickets online," the official said.
Under the proposal, the board plans to set up specific offices in
zones and divisions where differently abled people can get their fare
concession card made after producing a medical certificate.
Physically challenged people get fare concessions, have special
reservation counters at railway stations and even special coaches on
trains but cannot avail fare concessions while booking an e-ticket.
They can book full fare tickets through the internet.
The move came after railway board received several complaints from
differently abled passengers and social activists. The issue was also
raised with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC),
the PSU handling online ticketing operations.
The railways' argument was that in purchase of concessional tickets,
the physical document needed to be verified at the time of booking
before extending the concession.
However, the railway board realized that e-ticket booking facility was
much more essential for physically challenged persons than other
passengers. Under the plan, the physical verification of the document
will be done at the time of issuing identity card, an official said.
