Meals and linen service might have resumed but still you cannot get concessions for certain passengers like you used to get. Earlier Senior Citizens used to get concessions while traveling in Indian Railways and the service was discontinued two years back due to Covid-19.

Apart from this it has become easy to book group tickets where you have to book one or multiple coaches due to weddings or other functions. You just need to go to nearest railway station and book it but you need to pay 30% extra money on every ticket which will be returned post journey as security money. If you are booking complete train then you need to deposit a fixed amount that will also be returned after the journey. Please note that GST and Service Tax will not be returned over the amount.
