@ sandesh, Ask the DRM official to refer railway board commercial
cir.no.1/2025. which clearly states that if the person having UDID card, it is
not required to obtain a concession certificate. We must fight for
implementation. A copy of the said circular again attached for the ready
refernce for all, Have already sent in the group earlier. Run OCR to read it.

Namaskar all!
Trying to be as brief as possible.
Applied for Rail Divyangjan card through the portal
divyangjanid.Indianrail.gov.in.
As it is said on user manual available on the portal, list of required
documents for blind people consists of either railway concession certificate or
UDID card along with disability certificate and other documents. As I do not
have Railway certificate, I uploaded UDID card along with other required stuff.
Applied on August 14, and got rejection remark on 19th which is really
praiseworthy as they kept pending status only for 4 days. The reason of
rejection provided was Railway concession certificate is not uploaded, also,
passport size photograph and blindness certificate upload. I lodged the issue
with Railways through twitter and mentioned about the reference available on
the portal stating either Railway concession certificate or UDID card in case
of blind people. What is the need of Railway certificate then? They checked all
the details like user manual etc and agreed with me. Also got call from DRM
office Bhusawal as our Nashik city comes under that. The person was very polite
and asked me to attach Railway certificate because UDID card does not possess
any doctor name or registration number which is mandatory to get the card. He
again echoed with me that if a blind person attaching UDID card instructed by
the manual itself should not be asked doctor's name and registration number in
first place.
He asked me to withdraw the complaint. After seeing his smile, politeness
and willingness to assist, also, his inability to process the application due
to nonavailability of doctor's name and registration number, I also do not have
any intention of stretching this matter any further. I perhaps might go to
hospital in next few days as time permits and take the Railway certificate and
upload the same on the portal. I also asked him to see whether any card is
issued to any blind person without railway concession certificate, only on
basis of UDID card. He told me to give some time to check the same.
After this long story, I just want to ask here whether anybody
successfully got the card on basis of disability certificate and UDID card
only, without railway certificate in picture? I think some got the card on
basis of UDID. If so, how they tackled mandatory doctor name and registration
number fields? in my case, I wrote doctor name as medical signatory as is on
UDID card and doctor registration number
as first few alphanumeric letters as on UDID card again.
Thanks and regards
