The Railway Ministry has done away with the need for providing photocopy of identity card or indicating its number at the time of booking Tatkal tickets from September 1.
The procedure is waived for tickets booked online and through reservation counters, an official release said.
As per the proposed changes, in case of ticket booked under the Tatkal scheme, one of the passengers has to produce proofs of identity in original during the journey, failing which all passengers booked on that ticket will be treated as travelling without ticket and charged accordingly.
