One Ticket, One ID Rule for Reservation Tickets
Indian Railway decides to implement One Ticket One ID Rule for Reservation Tickets to prevent the misuse of the reserved tickets.
According to the rule the name in the tickets should be exactly like name mentioned in the ID proof, so make sure the name you write in the reservation form is exactly the same in the ID proof while booking the tickets from next time onwards.The rule has been affected from January 1st onwards.
For this rule the railway officials hopes to put an end to the menace of illegal transfer of tickets by the touts.

If a person is holding confirmed tickets and is unable to travel then the ticket can be transferred to his/her family members including parents, siblings, children’s or spouse.
According to the rule if any passenger’s name on the reservation charts doesn’t match with the one on the ID proof, that passengers will be treated as travelling without a tickets. Hope this change will reduce number of fraud ticket booking. What is in your mind? please share
