At the same time, to save those who book train tickets for senior citizens from problems, everyone wants to get a lower berth for senior citizens. If you also want this, then you have to know about the way to book train tickets so that you can get a confirmed lower berth. You can know about this in the next slides…

You can get a confirmed lower berth, just keep these things in mind:-

Number 1

  • If you are booking a train ticket for a senior citizen, do not forget to apply the quota here. There is a quota facility for senior citizens on IRCTC’s website, app or other online ticket booking platforms. Applying the quota increases the chances of senior citizens getting a lower berth. Apart from this, fill the age of the senior citizen correctly because if it is wrong then you will not get a lower berth.

number 2
  • While on one hand many people travel alone by train, on the other hand many people travel in groups. In such a situation, if there is a senior citizen in your group, do not book his ticket with you, because if you do so, you will not get a lower berth. Instead, you should book the ticket of the senior citizen separately, which increases the chances of getting a lower berth.

This may be the right time for senior citizens to book tickets

  • If you are booking a train ticket for a senior citizen, then it is important for you to know the correct time to book this ticket. If this is not done then you may face difficulty in getting a lower seat. Note that there should be a gap of more than 15 days while booking a ticket for a senior citizen. This is because if you book the ticket as soon as the reservation opens, the chances of getting a lower seat increase significantly.

There is a higher chance of getting a confirmed lower seat in this class

  • There are different classes in a train, ranging from First AC to Sleeper and General coaches. So if you are booking a train ticket for a senior citizen, know that the chances of getting a lower berth in the Sleeper class are much higher than in the AC coach.
