    Procedure for Getting Concessional Railway Ticket for Handicapped Persons

    Verification of the submitted documents by Commercial Inspector

    Once you submit your documents along with the application the concerned officer would get them verified from a commercial inspector. The procedure will move forward only after the inspector verifies that the issuing hospital, doctor and the details mentioned are all correct. Only the concession certificate issued by a government office of the concerned zone will be entertained.

    Hand over the Photo Identity Card to the concerned person

    After the verification process is complete you’ll get a call from the D.R.M Office about the date and time for collecting your photo identity card. The disabled person can send a representative on her behalf to collect the identity card. In such a case, the representative must have an authority letter (a handwritten permission by the PwD and duly attested signature of the representative) in order to get the Photo Identity Card from the D.R.M Office.

    De-validation of the Concession Certificate

    While issuing the photo identity card with unique 11 digits identification number, the D.R.M office will endorse the information on the original concession certificate by pasting a stamp with all relevant details. Once the details are endorsed, your concession certificate becomes useless. Now you have to use only the photo identity card for all further transactions with the Railways.

    Documents Required
    • 1. Concession Certificate or Unique Disability ID (UDID) Card
    • 2. Photo Identity Proof (e.g. Aadhaar Card)
    • 3. Date of Birth Proof
    • 4. Address Proof
    • 5. 2 passport size color photo
    • 6. Attested photocopies of these documents.
    Practically using Your Railway Photo Identity Card

    For booking concessional tickets online you’ll need to use your unique 11 digits ID number and you’ll have to carry the original photo identity card to be checked on-board and off-board the train. If you are booking the ticket at the ticket window then you may have to submit a photocopy of the identity card at the counter. In this case, too you’ll have to carry the original photo identity while traveling through railways.

    Renewal of the Card

    In case of expiration of the card you are expected to start your process of getting a new photo identity card three months prior to the expiration of the old card.

    Validity of the Card

    The validity of the card will be for five years or the last date up to which concession certificate is valid.
