Separately, a parliamentary standing committee has recommended the resumption of the fare concession offered to senior citizens by the railways before Covid pandemic.
The Indian Railways used to offer a 40% discount in fares to males aged 60 years or above and for females, a 50% discount was given if the minimum age was 58 years.
These concessions were granted in fares of all classes of Mail/Express/Rajdhani/ Shatabdi/Duranto group of trains but were withdrawn on March 20, 2020.
The Standing Committee on Railways headed by BJP MP Radha Mohan Singh made the recommendation in its report on the demand for grants which was tabled in both Houses of Parliament this week. The Railways, however, said that it had no immediate plans to resume the concession. It maintained that already giving 50-55% concession was being to all passengers.
