This is a great initiative by the Indian Railways to allow the passengers to not carry the e-ticket & simply take a screen-shot of the e-ticket & display it through laptops/palmtops/ Mobile phone which will be referred as Virtual Reservation Message (VRM).

As we all know about the Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS) - The printout in standard specified Performa containing reservation particulars, and instructions for use which can be used by the passenger along with the relevant authorizedIdentification, as travel authority for performing the journey.

 So from onwards if you are traveling by train, then 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.
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.

Hope this information will be helpful.
