ID issued by government organisations
ID proof must for reserved train travel from December
The Railways have made it mandatory for even those
travelling in sleeper class and second class reserved coaches, economy class
and first class to carry identity proof from December 1, in an attempt to
prevent the touts from getting the tickets and selling them at a premium.
This requirement has already been enforced for those travelling in air-conditioned coaches. Those travelling on Tatkal and e-tickets are also required to carry their Ids.
To the approved present set of IDs issued by government organisations, voter photo identity card, driving licence, PAN card, Aadhaar number, the Railways have added senior citizen card, BPL card, ESI card and student IDs as valid proof.
Travelling without any of these prescribed IDs will be treated as travelling without ticket and invite penalty.
