Which option should I choose for 63 year old?
Senior citizens (i.e. Men having age of 60 or more OR women having age of 58 or more) are entitled to concession when booking ticket in general quota. The concession is 40% for men and 50% for women. Recently, irctc has introduced an option where a senior citizen can forgo concession i.e. a senior citizen can opt to pay full fare and not avail concession. Lets assume a case where ticket base fare is Rs.100. The senior citizen passenger (say female passenger) has 3 option.
Since there is no difference in service for these cases, the cheapest option is to avail concession. Usually this is the option most senior citizens choose.
