The number of this identity card would be indicated on the ticket as well as the reservation chart and during the journey the passenger has to carry the same original proof of identity failing which he/she is treated as travelling without ticket and charged accordingly. In case, the passenger is booking a ticket through internet, the number and type of identity card to be carried by him during the journey should be the same the passenger indicates at the time of booking.
In case of failing to provide the identity card, the passenger would be considered as travelling without ticket. The accepted ID proofs include voter ID card, passport, PAN card, driving licence, Aadhar card and others.
