It is, however, clarified that the documents uploaded by the user himself/herself (i.e. the documents in ‘Uploaded Documents’ section) will not be considered as a valid proof of identity,

3. Necessary instructions may be issued to all concerned to avoid inconvertience to the passengers. Wide publicity through all possible means should be given to this revised provision for information of general public.
