Attested copy of Ration Cars/Bank Pass Book accepted for Identity proof by railway
Ministry of Railways has made some relaxation in the condition of production of original Proof of Identity during train travel and particularly for the passengers belonging to the lower economic classes. 

Under this relaxation, attested photocopy of Ration Card with photograph and Nationalised Bank Passbook with photographs shall also be accepted as a prescribed proof of identity only in case of reserved tickets booked through computerized Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters, for undertaking journey in Sleeper (SL) and Second Reserved Sitting (2S) classes. The photocopy of the Ration Card with photograph and Nationalised Bank Passbook with photograph should be attested by a Gazetted Officer or the Chief Reservation Supervisor or Station Manager/Station Master. This relaxation applies only to Ration Card and Nationalized Bank Pass Book and not in case of other types of proofs of identity cards for which only original proof will be required during journey.

The above provision is not applicable for all classes of e-tickets and Tatkal tickets and tickets issued through PRS counter for travelling in Air-conditioned classes and First Class where ID is required during booking. Travelling with these categories of tickets shall continue to be governed by existing instructions.

The railways had earlier to facilitate the travel of legitimate passengers and reduce the scope for misuse of reserved ticketing system by unscrupulous elements, the identity card was made compulsorily to all reserved travel,

This relaxation will be made effective from 15.1.2013.
