I have seen on IRCTC site the following information about photo Id cards:
Some of the permissible photo Id cards under the term "photo identity card having serial number issued by Central/State Government".
Scope of the term "photo identity card having serial number issued by Central/State Government" permissible under the scheme is very wide and it covers a large number of photo identity cards, some of which are as under:
Pension Pay Orders(PPO)
Ration Card with photographs
Senior citizen cards
Below Poverty (BPL) cards
ESI cards (with photograph) issued for taking treatment in ESI dispensaries
CGHS Cards (with photograph) issued to individual family menbers of Central Govt. employees.
while travelling by reserved coaches ,id cards issued to students are accepted, there is no word about the id cards issued to the staff?
The id cards issuedby recognized schools are accepted as valid proofs.that is fine .what is the status of the staff from such schools and colleges while travelling byreserved coaches?
Bhartiya Railways has made carrying of ID Proofs as compulsary during journey for all Reserved classes. In case of combined Reservation Ticket in a single ticket,it should be cleared properly that whether all the passengers should have the ID Proofs or carrying by one of them is enough.
