You can purchase tickets as ordinary residents while in India. Indian Railways offers a 30% discount for ages 60+ while some airlines offer a senior citizen discounts from age 65 onwards. Currently Jet offers a 50% discount (on base fare only) These discounts are not automatic and you'll have to apply for each.
