Having booked a
ticket using the App, a commuter need not take a print-out of the same
and can show its soft copy on the cellphone to the TTE. Apart from being
a green initiative, the paperless ticketing system would also save time
for passengers as it allows them to avoid lining up at the ticket
window. As per the plan, one may download the App from the Google App
store for Android-based mobile phones.

After the download,
the user will get a registration ID number for creation of a railway
e-wallet. Money for buying tickets will have to be loaded through the
e-wallet mobile payment system either online or at a ticket counter at
any station. Passengers have the option of topping up the e-wallet at
ticket counters or on the IRCTC website using a credit or debit card,
the official said. Besides booking tickets, one can even renew season
tickets using the App, which the official said will be a great help for
commuters in the unreserved ticketing segment.
