((Online Booking of tickets under SS quota - Lower berth quota ))
..... This is for the benefit of bloggers and passengers who are eligible for this privilege quota but depriving for want of info ...........(power of single booking)
Additional seats (quota - of lower berths) are available under SS quota code.
To obtain ticket under SS code , the passenger

has to satify following both the conditions.
a) Passenger is travelling alone. and
b) Age criterias - for females (above 45 yrs), for males (above 60 yrs)
Based on the details filled up on online booking page....
The system automatically considers any booking requisiton on the basis of 45+ female and 60+ male senior citizens travelling alone (single booking) for SS quota vacant berths.
In near future, a new specific tick mark Tab is expected to be introduced by IRCTC.
*** Note that ....There is no seperate tab provided for tick mark for SS quota.
**Obviously the age proof carrying for 45+ female passenger , during travelling is must to support her eligibility under this quota . The failure to produce age proof may entail fine to be imposed by TTE.
*** 60+ male /female passengers anyway comes under Senior citizen category for fare concession and age proof carrying must for them. In case 60+ male passenger has not tick marked for fare concession (available on demand) , he is still bound to produce age proof if he has obtained ticket under SS quota.

You are right in your views Mr.Kapadia and I appreciate the same. Thanking you for consedering all views expressed by everyone the then commenting logically. I also agree with you on certen TTE/ Ticket Checking Squad who have harrased the passanger in the past by manipulating the rules to sute the situation.
It happhed once for my co-passanger in 1063 now 2163 MAS-DR Super Express. the passanger had brought a children tricycle into the compartment and after renigunta the checking squad fined them saying that they had to booking it in SLR even when the person said that he had visited the parcel office at MAS and they had informed that he can carry it with him in compartment under free

laguage quota only. They had around 5 ticket and were well within the quota itself.On reaching GTL I purchaced a Train at a Glange and even in that it was clearely mentioned that a children tricycle can be carred under free laguage quota only.He then tried to get hold of those persons but they had deboarded a Tadapatri itself.
I Am just telling this to support your argument that it is possible that a passanger may be drawn into tussel.
Also the rules only state that lower birth are reserved for women 45+ and mail senior citizen travelling alone. Its no were given explicetely that they have to carry and produce age proof on demand as given for senior citizen quota.
