@Mahesh Saroj: Re# 152979-83
Its a kind of Shadow Boxing going on.The Railway bord is not making ID mandatory at booking time time (leaving room for manipulation at PRS level)but IRCTC is applying shadow measurers just to show they so called willingness to stop eticket malpractices.It is well known fact that booking CK at 8 am is the toughest and a ID has lots of info to prove his/her genuineness(unlike PRS).
Clearly a double and discriminating measure at two different levels.
