No need for identity proof while booking Tatkal tickets
Posted on: 18/Jul/2015 10:02:28 AM
Now the Indian Railways have modified some rules with regard to Tatkal bookings. Passengers booking tatkal train tickets would not be required to produce identity proof anymore as Railways have decided to discontinue with this provision.
The modified provision could come into effect by September 1.
Under the modified rules, there will be no need to furnish photocopy of proof of identity while booking Tatkal ticket from computerised reservation counter or to indicate its number at the time of booking of Tatkal ticket at the counter or through internet.
However, one of the passengers has to produce the original proofs of identity during the journey to avoid being penalised.
