My mother a senior citizen left for Guwahati along with my sister, her husband and two minor children on October 13, 2009 on an emergency basis. We had requested a friend from Guwahati to book their return train tickets from Guwahati to Howrah Station for October 17. He booked E-tickets but my family only came to know that the tickets were booked through e-ticket after they reached Guwahati. None of them carried any identity proof due to the emergency in the family. Can I fax or scan their ID proofs and send it by email to my contact in Guwahati immediately and will that be valid document if they are asked to produce an ID? Their train from Guwahati leaves tonight.
originals are required. scanned proof is not sufficient. if it is sufficient nobody wiil take their originals along with them. its unfortunate that these things happen. if luck works out the tte may not check id proof also. its his discretion. some do check them thoroughly, but some dont even ask for it. good luck.
You can not be 100% secured in this case.
Yet, can do two things:
1. Scan or Fax good copies AND
2. Let one of them have a photo/sign and basic particulars attested by a Gazetted Officer or an office of some Minister / Corporate or so in an ID format (Computer Print) and if possible, get it laminated.

generally, out of metropolitan/major towns, i have noticed that they generally use a thermal fax (cheap costs) which has to be photocopied again. In this case as you say, its an extremely adverse action. it may work in a laser quality printer or a good inkjet printer, but still the hologram will be a problem.
As mr jain says, these are not legal solutions and has to be acted on their own risks.
Will a gazetted officer signature attestation on photocopy do the work?

dont give wrong info to the people
without valid id proof the passenger will be charged as a without ticket passenger.
