Book e-tickets in irctc without id proof

That's a very good news that Indian railways have introduced and relaxed some procedures in booking e-tickets. Earlier while booking e-ticket,we have to give the Proof of Identity.But now it has been relaxed where it is not necessary to produce any ID proof during booking rather the passenger has to carry the ID proof while traveling.They have listed out five identity cards,they are Voter ID card/ Passport/PAN Card/Driving License/Photo Identity Card Issued by Central/State Government. Therefore passenger has to carry anyone of the above mentioned id proof while traveling. Further details are here.

Booking e-tickets and i-tickets are easier.But the problem arises while canceling. E-ticket can be canceled electronically,where as canceling the i-ticket becomes difficult because it has to be surrendered in person at the railway counters .Hope this is also relaxed in forthcoming days.Happy Booking :)
