Why Senior citizens awarded Special Benefits..?  |
|
 I don't have any idea about the other countries..
But In india, All the people those who crossed the Age of 55-60, are elegible for the 30% to 35% reduction in the Rail Fare when they are booking the Tickets.. and when they travel in the Train, if TTR ask for the proof, they have to show their age proof.
And also in the Banks, those senior citizens will get addition percentage of Interest for their deposits and other savings account.
Like that in all area of Senior Citizen's will get special benefits from the government.
Why they have been awarded these benefits..??
--> Since they doesn't have a regular income..
--> Since they doesn't have a people to take care
--> Since they will not be able to survive independently.?
--> any other reasons..
I have indicated some of the points it may or may not relates to the discussion.. if it is wrong, you just indicate the correct things..
And also, these benefits has been given to the people those who are having more money, but the people in the villages, very poor Senior citizens, what was the benefits they used to get from the Governments..?

| 3. gyaneshwarrao (1909) | 7 months ago |  Senior citizens have to be really hounoured in the society as they are the backbones of our country.Only because of them we have learnt so many good habits and ethics.can you expect anything from the now new generation.I can say a big NO.At least no one is interested to follow what they advice.A deaf ear is kept to their advices.R U following.Hence,I do appreciate at least the senior citizens are enjoying these boons from the Government.Many senior parents are suffering from their children.Did you experience these from some of your neighbouurs.try and see for yourself.I hope you too will be my friend to encourage the boons.

| 5. Erratic (460) | 7 months ago |  In theory, the biggest reason a government gives senior cits/pensioners additional benefits is because they have contributed to the weath of the country for a long life through taxes, because they do need extra to have an enjoyable lifestyle considering they now have no income, and because the government wants their votes to be re-elected.

6.  pkc3000 (905) | 6 days ago |  Hey chennai_b02 This is a very good discussion . I think the suitable and appropriate answer is we should pay respect to our older citizen. By awarding special benefits we are paying tribute to them. Also there are many elder citizen who are living below poverty and they are not in a position to travel due to financial crisis.
