Traveling with Indian Railways becomes more hasslefree! Hereafter, the Railways will accept Aadhaar & DL already stored in the DigiLocker as the valid ID proof while you are on a train journey. If you are someone who has the tendency to lose documents then you can be a huge beneficiary of this facility. As per the new rules by the Indian Railways, you need not carry the Aadhaar card and other important ID proofs along while traveling. These docs can be uploaded and backed up on a cloud space offered by the DigiLocker.

The IRCTC DigiLocker will enable you to keep the scanned copy of all the important documents like the passport, PAN Card, driving license, and Aadhaar and leave the original copy at home.
