e-tickets booking made easier

Staff Reporter

CHENNAI: Now, those booking railway tickets online can take it easy with the need to give photo identity proof. That would be needed only at the time of journey. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation introduced this new facility effective November 1.

Passengers would be required to carry a voter ID Card/Passport/PAN Card/Driving license/Photo ID card issued by Central or State governments during their train journey. “The changes were brought in to make online booking easier for passengers,” Southern Railway spokesperson Neenu Ittyerah said.

With regards to concern that this could be exploited by ticketing agents to block tickets online especially during rush time, she said passengers need not look at it that way.
