You can Travel in Train without IRCTC e-Ticket PrintOut

Travel with IRCTC Electronic e-Ticket instead of IRCTC e-Ticket Print Out

Good news for rail passengers, IRCTC along with Indian Railways has taken much needed step for its customers. Now, rail passengers can travel in trains without carrying printouts of e-tickets booked online through IRCTC. Earlier, passengers traveling without IRCTC e-ticket printout were to pay a fine of Rs 50 per ticket. So after booking tickets online through IRCTC, rail passengers were forced to take a printout of e-ticket on a A4 size page to avoid such unwanted fine by the ticket examiners in the train while traveling.

What to do to Travel Without E-Ticket Printout

Well, you also dont want to take printout of e-Ticket. For this you can travel with just a soft copy of IRCTC e-ticket. The soft copy can be:

• SMS by IRCTC | Railways- The ticket confirmation SMS sent by IRCTC | Railways after you complete the online ticket booking process will also serve as E Ticket. You can travel by showing that SMS message of the e-ticket on your mobile phone. But ensure it that the SMS contains all the vital details of the rail-ticket like PNR, Date of Journey, Train Number, class, name & number of rail passengers, coach number & Seat Number and amount of fare paid. One illustrated example of the SMS is
  PNR: 4231009529 Train: 16723, DOJ: 15/07/2011, 3AC, NDLS to BCT, Hari Krishna +3, S1 10-13, Fare Rs 10,000, SC Rs 10 (+PG charges as applicable)
• Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS)- The printout in standard specified Performa containing reservation particulars, and instructions for use which can be used by the passenger along with the relevant authorized Identification, as travel authority for performing the journey.
• Virtual Reservation Message (VRM)- A screen-shot of the e-ticket displayed through laptops/palmtops/ Mobile phone is referred as Virtual Reservation Message (VRM).
• Mobile Reservation Message (MRM)- A screen-shot of the e-ticket on mobile phones for tickets booked through mobile phones.

SMS | ERS | VRM | MRM sent by IRCTC | Railways along with one of the nine prescribed proofs of identity in original will also authorize the passenger to enter the platform on the day of journey and he/she will not be required to purchase platform ticket. SMS | ERS | VRM | MRM sent by IRCTC | Railways along with original id proof will be required also to be produced on demand of Ticket Checking Staff on the platform.

50 Lakh A4 size papers could be saved every year by taking this revolutionary step as said by Indian Railways. Really this is a environment-friendly and bold step towards a greener world. So people should now stop taking print-outs of the e-Tickets for making journey in trains.

By now, you have clearly known it that “E - Ticket Print Out is Not Required” while traveling in trains. So, next time when you book any ticket through IRCTC website avoid taking the prints of your ticket instead remember to carry the E-Ticket in the electronic modes on your devices like Mobile, SmartPhone, Laptop, IPad etc.
Please do share your thoughts | reviews or write comments on
IRCTC's “Go Green” initiative of traveling without e-ticket print-out.

Izzat Monthly Season Ticket Travel Distance Increased

Traveling Distance for Izzat Monthly Season Tickets is now Increased

‘Izzat monthly season ticket scheme’ was initially introduced to travel up to adistance of 100 km. Indian Railways announced that as per the latest railway budget, the travel distance under Izzat monthly season ticket (MST) scheme has beenincreased from 100 km to 150 km with effect from June 1, 2012. Moreover, Indian Railways also announced that other terms and conditions for Izzat monthly season ticket scheme shall remain unchanged. The enhancement of traveling distance from 100 km to 150 km will be allowable on IZZAT monthly season tickets (MSTs) issued on and after June 1, 2012. So the travel distance would be limited to 100 km only in case of IZZAT monthly season tickets (MSTs) already issued before June 1, 2012. According to Railways, the low cost ‘Izzat' monthly season ticket scheme costs only Rupees 25 (inclusive of all surcharges) and is issued to persons working in unorganized sectors with monthly income up to Rupees 1,500.

What is ‘Izzat’ Monthly Season Ticket?

Izzat Monthly Season Ticket was announced by then Minister of Railways, Mamata Banerjee, while presenting Railway Budget 2009-10. Railways has decided to introduce a new scheme of uniformly priced monthly season tickets (MSTs) at Rupees 25 (twenty five) inclusive of all surcharges to persons working in unorganized sector with monthly income up to rupees 1500 (fifteen hundred). This new monthly season tickets scheme is known as “Izzat”. Izzat monthly season tickets (MSTs) are being issued for journeys with effect from 01.08.2009. Izzat Monthly Season Ticket is currently issued up to a distance of 100 kilometers. As per Indian Railways, izzat tickets are sold in lakhs across the country thereby giving relief to the poor and needy daily rail travelers. The popularity of the Izzat scheme is being increased across the country among poor and needy daily rail passengers.

How to get ‘Izzat’ MST issued

‘Izzat’ montly season tickets (MSTs) will be issued on production of income certificate of the applicant from any one of the following:

• District Magistrate.
• Sitting Member of Parliament of Lok Sabha for persons of their own constituency.
• BPL Card or any other certificate issued by Central Government under a recognized poverty alleviation programme.
• Union Minister may also recommend to Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) for issue of ‘Izzat’ MSTs for any persons from any where in the country. DRMs would then authorize the concerned Station Manager/Station Master to issue such MSTs.
• Sitting Member of Parliament of Rajya Sabha may also recommend to the DRMs for issue of the ‘Izzat’ MSTs for the persons of the district in which these MPs normally reside. DRMs would then authorize the concerned Station Manager/Station Master to issue such MSTs.
• The DRMs would also be empowered under exceptional circumstances to issue the income certificate.

The income certificate would be valid for two years from the date of issue. The income certificate issued by District Magistrate, Sitting MP of Lok Sabha, and DRMs would have to be on Format “A” and the letter of recommendations issued to DRMs by the Union Ministers or MPs of Rajya Sabha would have to be on “Format”B”. Format”A” and Format “B” are enclosed herewith. These would have to be issued on the Letter Head of the issuing authority.

The monthly season tickets will be issued by the Station Master on collection of the photo copy of the income certificate and should be preserved for future reference, but at the time of issue of ticket, the Original income certificate should also be inspected. Railways will print new series of “Izzat” monthly season tickets priced at Rs. 25/- for this purpose on the format of existing MSTs. Railways will take adequate steps to check fraudulent use of this facility.

How to use Izzat Ticket Scheme

As per the rules, Izzat Scheme must be used by poor and needy rail travelers. But railways has also received complaints about misuse of Izzat season ticket particularly by those whose monthly income was more than rupees 1500. So to avoid misuse of Izzat scheme, Railways has made a little change in the rules to benefit the genuine poor beneficiaries. Railways has now made it mandatory for each ‘Izzat’ MST scheme beneficiary to carry photo identity card or an attested copy of the income certificate issued by the DM or MP while in journey in trains. Passengers must show these documents to ticket checking staff if asked in course of ticket checking.

We hope poor and needy people in India would take advantage of this increased distance limit from 100 km to 150 km under Izzat scheme. In India, poor and needy people eligible for Izzat scheme don’t get advantage of the scheme due to unknowingness. So do share this information among the eligible needy people that under Izzat MST scheme the traveling distance limit is now enhanced from 100 km to 150 km.
