[Resolved] Indian Railways — senior citizen card not accepted as id and age proof | |||
HON MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS, GOVT OF INDIA THRU EMAIL Respected Rail Minister , Sub: ‘Senior Citizens’ Card issued by State Govt’ ,.not recognized by the Railways for ‘AGE’ proof. I wish to bring your kind notice , an important aspect in Railways that ‘Senior Citizens’ Card issued by State Govt’ ,.is not recognized by the Railways for ‘AGE’ proof. I am baffled by the ignorance of ‘powers that be, in the Railways. Perhaps they are aware of this but too busy to look in to grievances of senior citizens on this aspect. You are aware (and the State Govt. too is aware) that the ‘ PAN CARD’ and ’PASSPORT’ , in majority cases, forms the base for age and address proof for issuance of ‘Senior Citizen Cards’. You are aware, that ‘PAN CARD’ AND ‘PASSPORT’ are such important documents that to get duplicate cards, is time consuming and painstaking, especially for senior Citizens. It is therefore not advisable to carry these original documents during travel .Moreover it is inconvenient to carry a load of cards with oneself. Senior Citizen cards come in handy in case of emergencies and accidents. It will be therefore prudent on the part of the Railways to accept these cards for identity (as id card ) as well as age proof. I request therefore your good selves to move the Hon Railway Minister.
