Now second and sleeper class passengers travelling in trains will also have to carry original proof of identity.
This rule will come in effect from December 1. Accordingly all reserved class including III economy class passengers will have to show identity proof.
A Ministry of Railways release said that this initiative has been taken to facilitate travel of bonafide and legitimate passengers and to reduce the scope of misuse of reserved ticketing system by middlemen.
Earlier only passengers with e-ticket and tatkal were required to show identity. The government has also expanded list of prescribed proof for identity. As per the new provisions Second Class(2S), Sleeper class (SL), III Economy class (3E) and First class (FC) passengers will have to show their identity.
