The Railway Board has recently made the compulsion of carrying identity cards for the passengers traveling all classes.
The list of identity cards included pan card, aadhar card, driving licence and voting card.
At that time it came to the knowledge of rule makers that most of the passengers belonging to below poverty line do not have any of these documents. In order to ease traveling for these people, the decision to include ration cards and bank pass books in the list of authorized identity proofs has been taken. The relaxation has been accorded across second class passengers only.
Passengers traveling other classes would have to show pan card, aadhar card, driving licence, passport and voting card in original.
