Digital Photo ID cards for Divyang Rail Passengers: Central Railway has launched “Divyangjan Module” to digitize the process of issue of Photo Identity Cards to Divyangjans with effect from 1st October, 2022.
Earlier, manual photo identity cards were issued to differently-abled passengers. But now with the “Divyangjan module”, the entire process from application to issue of photo identity card has gone digital. Persons with Disabilities need not visit the Division Headquarters to apply for Photo Identity Card. They can now register themselves by visiting http://divyangjanid.indianrail.gov.in. After registration, differently-abled passengers will have to upload necessary documents like concession certificate, form, photograph, disability certificate, proof of date of birth, address and photo ID.
Digital photo identity card will be issued after verification and approval
After uploading all the required documents, you will have to go through a process. After verification and approval of the photo identity card application, the photo identity card will be issued digitally to the differently-abled passengers. After downloading the photo identity card from the website, Divyangjan can get its print out. Divyang passengers can take advantage of this wonderful facility launched by Central Railway. Let us inform that the Indian Railways issues photo identification for the disabled passengers of the country. Through this photo identity card, passengers with disabilities get a discount on the fare for traveling in the train.
