Railway passes for Gallantry Awardees*

There are about 250 Indian Army officers/JCO/OR who are gallantry awardees ( Chakra Series) whose NOK are father/mother.

These NOKs are entitled to a complimentary railway pass issued by the Indian Railways which entails the NOK to complimentary travel in the Indian Railways for self and a companion .

Many of these NOK might not be aware of this benefit as the earlier rule of the pass being entitled to only the NOK ( Spouse/Child) has now been changed to NOK ( Spouse,Mother and Father ).

I had assisted in the issue of the pass to the parents of my coursemate , Capt R Subramanian , KC ( P) who was unmarried.

The process is very simple as it consists

1.Personal application

2. Authenticated copy of gazette notification of the award

3. Authenticated copy of the service particulars booklet issued by records/MP5/6

4. 3 passport size photographs .

The application needs to be addressed to the General Manager, Railways of the appropriate region ( North/South/Central/Western /Eastern/NE /SC etc ).

The pass is issued in about 48 hours .

I have carried out an open source data analysis of deceased Indian Army Personnel who have been awarded gallantry awards ( Chakra Series) ,

You can reach out to me and I shall provide you with the details of the deceased unmarried solider and his NOK of your unit/regiment/course affiliated personnel
