Sub: Entitlement for travel alone in First AC coupe in respect of Gold Pass holders in trains other than Rajdhani Express.
1. Instructions were issued vide Board’s letter No.E(W)93 PS 5-1/1, dated 16.02.2004 (RBE No. 30/2004) providing that Gold Pass holders traveling on duty by Rajdhani Express trains are entitled for I-AC coupe accommodation even when they travel alone and they can also take their family members in the coupe (2 berths).
