New Delhi. Lower Berth Ticket Booking Rules: If we talk about the number of passengers traveling by train, then lakhs of people travel by train every day. Along with local trains, passenger trains are also almost always full. In such a situation, many times people have to travel by taking waiting tickets in the train.

Many passengers feel that there is no option of seat selection in Indian Railways . However, this is wrong. Today we will tell you about a trick of Indian Railways through which you can also get a confirmed lower seat.

Who gets the lower berth?

Although Indian Railways first allots lower berths to senior citizens. Yes, there is a quota of reserved lower seats in Indian Railways. This quota is applicable only for senior citizens. This means that Indian Railways first gives lower berth seats to senior citizens. The quota of reserved lower seats is applicable only when a senior citizen is traveling alone or two senior citizens are traveling together.

If more than two senior citizens are travelling together then the reservation of the lower seat is not applicable. If a senior citizen has got an upper or middle berth then he can request the ticket checking staff to change it.

Can passengers give berth choice

Indian Railways gives its passengers the option to choose their berth. This option is available at the time of booking the ticket. If you also want to book a train ticket and want a lower seat, then give your choice at the time of booking. After this, if a lower berth seat is available in the train, then Indian Railways will allot that berth to you.
