Dear Sirs:
The Takkal Scheme in your Web site says: "No identity proof is required to be produced by the passenger seeking reservation under tatkal scheme neither at the time of booking nor during the journey."
But your ticket with Takkal boking shows: "·This ticket will only be valid along with an ID proof in original. If found travelling without ID Proof, Passenger will be treated as without ticket and charged as per extant Railway rules. Example:
Transaction

I had problem with your TTE sometime back in some train. Luckily I had some Id proof and was saved from the ordeal.
Pl educate them OR pl ensure that this phrase is removed from Takkal Tkts wwhich may involve some SW changes only.
Pl look into it and do needful.

Thanks for your submissions and concerns.
i) First of all it is to be cleared that this website is private -independent rail info website and is not any part of Railways deptt.
ii) Your observation ... "No identity proof is required .... nor during the journey" appears on the IR website and nowhere on this website.
iii) Tatkal tickets

are like normal tickets and the difference is that of only levy of extra Tatkal charges. So for counter Tatkal tickets as such you do not require to carry any id proof but for e-tatkal tickets, similar to regular e-tickets, carrying of any one of prescribed id proofs is must and mandatory.
iv) Nowadays, in order to prevent a) touts from selling railway tickets and b) passengers travelling on third party tickets, the TTE's demand such id proofs whereever they are apprehensive of or the cirucumstanced demand such id proofs.
v) As you have rightly mentioned that .... Not on the IR website but in the ticket, it is mentioned for such id proof and hence one is supposed to peruse fully the travel requirements and hence ignorance may not become excuse under this situation.
v) This is better for improved civil society life and it's always better to carry id proof with 2-3 zerox copy - preferrably and id- photograph etc.
Make it a part of the journey kit.
