When we book tickets online, we get PNR no to our registered mobile as SMS. Does railways accept this SMS as ticket? Pls clarify.

Indian Railway has introduced VRM or Virtual Reservation Message. Virtual Reservation Message (VRM) is a screen-shot of the e-ticket displayed through laptops/palmtops/ Mobile phone.
ERS/VRM along with any one of the eight prescribed ID proofs in original and the indication of the passenger(s)' name(s) in the Reservation Chart will authorize the passenger to travel.

VRM combined with valid photo-id in original

will be treated as an instrument on par with the ERS or Electronic Reservation Slip.

ERS/VRM along with one of the eight prescribed proofs of identity in original will also authorize the passenger to enter the platform on the day of journey and he/she will not be required to purchase platform ticket. ERS/VRM along with original id proof will be required to be produced on demand of Ticket Checking Staff on the platform.
Whether or not the PNR number received on the mobile will be accepted as the ticket is not known to me.

Pls visit IRCTC home page. It is mentioned as 'Travel without printouts of E-tickets'. But my question is do we need to show PDF of ticket or is SMS enough.
Passengers travelling without printout of eticket will be charged Rs.50 extra and they will not be treated as ticketless passengers.
