It did indeed evoke diversified opinion on publishing the post titled: KSRTC e-ticket Only Original Photo ID Card ?"
I quote :
"But it also casts aspersion when it culminates to the very point that the right person is deprived of his journey merely for not in possession of the "Original" photo ID card as was entered in the ticket while booking, despite the person ready to prove his identity by many other sources including alternative Photo Identity cards."
I am indeed happy to find this concern addressed not by KSRTC but by the largely traded e-commerce site in India namely: www.irctc.co.in
Recent amendment to the online ticketing system by Indian Railways is as follows:
New Facilities In E-Ticket
AMENDMENT IN E-TICKET SCHEME:- |
On and from 01-11-2008 the provision for specifying I/D proof at the time of booking an e-ticket has been dispensed with. The accommodation booked is not transferable and is valid only if one of the passenger booked on an e-ticket in a transaction presents any of the five identity cards(Voter identity card/Passport/ Pan card/Driving license/Photo I/d card of Central/State Government)during train journey in original and same will be accepted as proof of identity failing which the passengers will be treated as travelling without ticket and shall be dealt with as per extant Railway Rules.

Hi Karthick,
Really a good share of thought & things to be noticed. Infact the one which talks about plastic is need of the hour.I would surely likes to discuss more such things in proportion. Reach me at aviswana@tvaallegis.com
