 print out not required . Following are the details.){kind=link}
nice initiative…but we need original id proof or a copy of that??
As per Indian Railways you have to carry Original ID Proof.
Its an initiative to save the environment. All major organizations across the globe are bringing the same reforms. If a TT doesn't accept the original IRCTC SMS ask him for his ID, take his id number down, and ask the TT to call his superior. I have done this once and was successful. After that I also gave a little Gyan to the TT "If you guys wouldn't have wasted papers this journey would have been a lot cheaper".
i am also worried to use this facility,because we do not know what does TT ask? So better to take print out,instead of getting insulted,even after paying money for reservation
SMS send by IRCTC + Valid Identity proof is allowed.
Only Showing SMS, received for ticket confirmation in Mobile is ===>> Allowable or not…..??????
As mentioned in the article we can show the soft copy of the ticket in the following modes
1)Mobile
2)Laptop
3)Ipod
I used this facility one time by not carrying print of the ticket. But I hve one doubt, what we show if TC ask at the destination station?
I suggest that IRCTC shall design a new sms format and send the same to mobile also.
yup!! i am using this facility.
This movement is not properly channelized by irctc as per my recent experience, while travelling in Banglore H'Nizamuddin Rajdhani Exp. TTE has fined me 50 Rupees since i haven't produced printout, although i was having screenshot of ticket along with valid ID proof as prescribed by IRCTC.
Go Ahead and file a case in consumer forum against Indian Railway. also produce the fine receipt photocopy along with the application. it's not the matter of rs.50 but matter of awareness about the rules…. All the best
