Aadhaar card included in railway reservation process

 To prevent the involvement of agents in railway’s ticket reservation process, Railway Ministry is mulling over a proposal to include Aadhaar in the reservation system. Under this proposal Aadhar card will be mandatory for the person on whose name reservation will be made. The proposal is expected to be accepted from the
upcoming fiscal year. According to the sources the use of Aadhaar in the reservation process will be first made on online ticket reservation (E-Ticket) system and then later on the counters at the railway stations. CRIS has already begun the proceedings for this implementation. TTE (Train Ticket Examiner) will carry a handheld terminal machine with him in the train during the journey. This machine will keep a record of all the details of the passengers.
