The Chief Commercial Managers, 
All Indian Railways. 
 
 
 
(Commercial Circular No. 84 of 2007) 
 
Sub: E-ticketing Scheme. 
 
 
E-ticketing scheme was initially introduced on Indian Railways 
w.e.f.12/08/2005 and was extended to all Mail/Express trains w.e.f.24/02/2006.  
It has been reiterated in various instructions issued on e-ticket that the staff 
concerned may be educated about the e-ticket so as to ensure that no complaint 
on account of ignorance of the scheme particularly by Ticket Checking Staff is 
received. However, the complaints have been received where TTEs have not 
accepted the e-tickets as a valid authority of travel and imposed the penalty on 
the passengers.  Board has taken a serious view of this It is, therefore, desired 
that the following action may be taken to educate all concerned specifically on 
board Ticket Checking Staff about the e-ticketing scheme: - 
 
i) All concerned staff particularly Ticket Checking Staff should be suitably 
educated about the important features of the e-ticketing scheme and they 
should be shown the proforma of the e-ticketing sent along with the original 
scheme.  Their signatures should be obtained to the fact that they have 
understood the features of the scheme. 
 
ii) IRCTC has been authorised to go ahead with the e-ticket formats that contain 
all relevant details as mentioned in the original e-ticket format prescribed at 
the time of introduction of the scheme (copy enclosed).  As a result it is 
possible that onboard staff may find different type of e-ticket depending upon 
the source from which it is being issued viz. ATMs, Petrol Pumps, own 
computer or any other agencies/sources authorised by IRCTC.  The 
concerned staff should be advised that if the e-ticket being presented by the 
passengers contains all the relevant details mentioned in the proforma sent to 
zonal railways along with the original e-ticketing scheme, they should accept 
it as an authority to travel subject to production of proof of identity as 
mentioned in the scheme. 
 
Any complaint (s) on this account should be viewed very seriously.
