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."

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.
