Indian Railways Digital Ticket Rules: Screenshots, PDFs And WhatsApp Ticket Copies No Longer Valid

Indian Railways digital ticket rules have been reinforced with a fresh advisory for passengers using digital unreserved tickets. The railway authorities have clarified that only the original ticket displayed in the Rail One app will be accepted during ticket inspections. Screenshots, PDF files, photographs, or tickets shared through WhatsApp or any other messaging platform will not be treated as valid travel documents. The move is aimed at preventing misuse of digital tickets and ensuring smoother verification during journeys.
