In January this year, the Indian Railways had run a pilot project for senior citizens who were entitled to rail concessions. The concessional tickets cost the Railways about Rs. 1,600 crore in 2015-16, with the bulk being accounted for senior citizens. As per the government data, over 100 crore Aadhaar cards have been issued so for covering the majority of India's population.
