Many a time we have panicked at the last minute to take a printout of our e-ticket and end up calling our friends/Colleagues/Siblings/Cousins and make them print a copy or run to the nearest Internet cafe & shell out 10 bucks just for a ticket printout or worst case handed over a fine to the TT for not having a copy of the ticket... right?
Well, there is a good news for all those who've gone through the above scenario. There is no need to panic or worry about the print ever again. The Indian Railways in an endeavor to Go Green has passed a rule stating that we no longer need to carry the printed e-ticket with us.
A screen-shot / details of the ticket on our mobile/laptop along with a valid photo ID is enough.This move by the Indian Railway is sure about to save 3 Lakh A4 size paper every day, which is 10,95,00,000 A4 size paper every year.
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 authorizedIdentification, as travel authority for performing the journey.
