Sub: Travelling of handicapped persons in the compartments
earmarked for them in Garib Rath trains

Instructions were issued vide this office letter No.2006/TG-
1/20/handicapped dated 01.12.2008(Commercial Circular No. 63 of 2008),
wherein it has been advised that SLRD coaches should be treated as reserved till
preparation of charts for booking by handicapped persons travelling on concession
and at the time of preparation of charts, the berths which have not been booked
will be kept vacant for use by roadside handicapped unreserved passengers. Since
Garib Rath trains are fully reserved trains, the logic of keeping the unutilized
accommodation in handicapped coaches vacant after preparation of charts needs to
be reviewed.

2. Queries are also being received seeking clarification as to when concession
is not allowed to handicapped persons in Garib Rath trains which are having
subsidized fare structure, how handicapped persons will book tickets in these
trains. On telephonic enquiry, it was found that different Railways are adopting
different practice on this account.

3. The matter has been examined and it has been decided as under:-

i) Whenever any handicapped person desires to book ticket in the
coach earmarked for handicapped persons in Garib Rath trains,
he/she will be required to produce an attested photocopy of the
concession certificate along with the requisition and book the
accommodation on payment of full fare of 3AC class of Garib
Rath Express train. However, the original concession certificate
should be carried by the passengers for verification.

released to RAC/waitlisted passengers at the time of preparation
of charts.
