New Delhi: Now very soon railway passengers across India would not need to provide their identity proof while booking tatkal tickets, online or offline, as per media reports.
According to a Railway circular, the passengers can carry with them any one of the 10 identity proofs prescribed. This move will bring relief to the passengers who book tickets in a hurry.
At present, the passengers have to submit their ID proofs while booking at Passenger Reservation System counters.
The Railway circular has directed the Indian Railways IT wing, Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), to make the changes in the software by September 1, after which the new rule is likely to come into effect.
