Now, carry ID proofs in Digilocker on Indian trains

New Delhi : In a move to ease out passengers from a fear of losing their IDs, Indian Railways has now said that they will accept soft copies of Aadhaar Card or Driving Licence provided they are in your digilocker.

“If a passenger shows Aadhaar or driving licence from the ‘issued documents’ section by logging into his DigiLocker account, the same should be considered as valid proof of identity,” the order said.

However, it has been made clear that any other form of digital ID form will not be considered as valid proof.
