In an official release issued here on Thursday, the Railway Ministry spokesperson said, two more proofs would be acceptable for travelling on e-tickets. These are student identity card with photograph issued by recognised school/college for their students and nationalised bank passbook with photograph. “These are in addition to the existing five proofs of identity for undertaking journey on e-tickets namely — a) voter identity card, b) passport, c) PAN card, d) driving license and e) photo identity card issued by the Central/state government,” the release said adding that the new provision would come into effect from June 15.
There will be no concession including student concession admissible to the persons booking e-tickets except concession for senior citizens. The Ministry of Railways has asked all Zonal Railways to issue necessary instruction to particularly ticket checking staff.
