NEW DELHI: Senior citizens who want to avail concessions on train tickets will now have to produce the 12-digit Aadhaar number.

An official said reservation of rail tickets for senior citizens will be directly linked to Aadhaar from April next year on a mandatory basis for availing concessions at both counter and for e-tickets.

The railways has decided to implement Aadhaar-based ticketing system in a two-phased manner. From January 1 to March 31, 2017, requirement of Aadhaar verification for getting concessional tickets for senior citizens will be on a voluntary basis. From April 1, it will be mandatory.
