Expansion of the facility to take tickets through UPI from the Unreserved counters in Southern Railway!
The facility to get tickets through UPI from the unnerved counters in Southern Railway has been extended.
The number of citizens preferring to travel by train has been gradually increasing every passing day mainly due to the factors that ticket fares are reasonably low and the journey is safer. The citizens undertaking terrain journey usually prepare for the trip well in advance and do the ticket reservation.
Unreserved tickets:
The citizens who plan their journey at the very last moment and the passengers who could not get the reservation have to travel in the unreserved compartments.
As regards the reservation, the facility is available to reserve the tickets ONLINE! At the same time, the passengers need to stand in the queue to get unreserved tickets from the counters at the Railway Station.
There is a facility to procure unreserved tickets through the App UTS (Unreserved Ticketing System) ONLINE on the internet.
At the same time, if unreserved tickets are procured from the unreserved ticket counters, cash has to be paid. The passengers submitted an appeal to introduce digital system on this as well.
Accordingly, the Railway Administration has introduced the digital transaction system (procuring the unreserved ticket through UPI) in the unreserved ticket counters in numerous Railway Stations in all regions including the Central Railways.
With this facility, the unreserved tickets can be booked by paying through the digital system through UPI App from the Smartphone!
A large number of unreserved ticket booking counters in the Southern Railway Region have been introduced with this facility.
Southern Railway Officials shared in this regard:
"The Digital System is already in usage at all the Reservation Booking Counters in all Railway Stations under the Southern Railway.
Apart from this, this digital facility is available already in some of the unreserved booking counters in some stations including the Egmore Railway Station in the Chennai Metro City. This facility has been introduced on an experimental basis in some of the unreserved ticket counters in Chennai Railway Division.
Apart from the above, this digital system is planned to be introduced gradually in the unreserved ticket booking counters in other Divisions."
