December 1, 2012, The train passengers
with reservations have to carry a valid photo ID proof. It will be
required only if you have reserved your ticket on Reserved Second
Class(2S), Sleeper Class(SL), III Economy Class(3E) and First
Class(FC).
The step is taken not only to reduce
the misuse of reserved ticketing system but also for general security
reasons, intitiated by the Railway Ministry.
“It is necessary that atleast one
member of the passengers with a valid Passenger Name Record (PNR) for
journey in any class will have to produce atleast one of the below
given proof of original ID and if fails, all passengers booked on
that PNR are considered to be without ticket and will have to bear
the charges. However, the provision of the Tatkal will be continued
as earlier”, said in the press release issued by the Ministry of
Railway. They also said that the ID proof list will also be expanded
in future. Use Justdial Noida for local search to find the nearest railway offices.
See below the list for Tatkal ticket and other reserved classes will
now be as follows:
1) Voter Photo ID card issued by Election Commission of India.
2) Passport.
3) PAN Card ID issued by Income Tax Department.
4) Driving License issued by RTO.
5) Photo identity card having serial number issued by Central/State Government which include the following:
