Here's how you can confirm lower births for senior citizens : IRCTC tells you how to do.

Senior Citizens can face a lot of difficulty while travelling by not getting a lower birth. Last month a twitter user Jitendra S said that IRCTC should correct its procedure. Tagging Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, the passenger has written, "What logic do you run for seat allocation, I had booked tickets for 3 senior citizens with preference of lower berth, there are 102 berths available, yet allocated berths are middle, upper and side lower. U need to correct same.

IRCTC tweeted, "Sir, Lower berths/Senior Citizen quota berths are only 60 years and above, lower berths earmarked for female age of 45 years and above, when she is single or two passengers (travelling on one ticket)." The IRCTC further said that if there are more than two senior citizens or one is a senior citizen and the other is not a senior citizen, the system will not consider.
