IRCTC informed about easy allotment of lower berth to senior citizens. A passenger had said in a tweet that he had booked a train ticket for his uncle and had given priority to the lower berth because he had a problem in his legs, but even then the Railways gave him an upper berth.

Responding to the passenger’s tweet, Railways has written that if you book a ticket under general quota, you get seat allotment only if there is a seat. If there is no seat, you will not get it. If you book under Reservation Choice Book only if lower berth is allotted then you will get lower berth.
