ID PROOF DURING TRAIN TRAVEL.

 

Aiming to check misuse of rail tickets, the railways has made it mandatory for all passengers traveling in AC classes to carry an identity proof with them during the journey. The decision will be implemented in all trains across the country from  February 15, according to a circular issued by the Railway Board.

 

• As of now, only passengers traveling on Tatkal tickets and e-tickets have to carry original identity proof during the journey.

• If more than one passenger is traveling on one ticket, any one passenger in a group is required to carry the original ID proof.

• The move is aimed to prevent cases of traveling on transferred tickets. This will also check black marketing of rail tickets.

• Those failing to produce original ID proof will be treated as traveling without ticket and will be charged accordingly.

• The acceptable ID proofs include

• Voter ID issued by Election Commission
• PAN card
• Passport
• Driving license
• Photo ID card having serial number issued by central / state government
• Nationalized bank passbook with photo
• Credit card issued by banks with laminated photos
• Student ID card with photo
• Aadhaar card

The decision comes in the backdrop of railways finding increasing cases of misuse of tickets like transfer of tickets, black marketing and involvement of touts.
