ID proof mandatory for Indian Railways AC coach from Feb15

The Indian Railways has made it mandatory for commuters who book their tickets for air-conditioned coaches through the Passenger Reservation System (PRS) to carry their identity proofs from February 15. The move, said railway officials, is aimed at preventing the unauthorized transfer of tickets, according to a report by The Times of India.

A senior railway official said, "Passengers with tickets booked through the PRS and internet (i-ticket) will have to carry any one of the nine prescribed identity proofs if they are travelling in AC three-tier, AC two-tier, First AC, AC Chair Car and Executive Classes. Those who fail to produce a photo ID proof will be treated as travelling without ticket."

So far, only passengers with Tatkal and e-tickets were required to carry an original ID card for the duration of their travel. The new rule will not apply to passengers who book Sleeper Class and Second Class chair car tickets.
