IRCTC's deposit scheme for faster e-ticket booking


IRCTC's deposit scheme for faster e-ticket booking

IRCTC Railway has decided to launch New scheme allowing passengers to reserve seats against advance money kept with the corporation.


This New Special Rolling Deposit Scheme (RDS), a hassle-free Railway e-ticket booking scheme in which the user will be able to book e-tickets against advance money kept with us,” said a senior IRCTC official involved with the scheme.

Currently there are about 4.5 lakh Railway Passenger tickets booked daily through IRCTC website. Under New Rolling Deposit Scheme, a user can deposit money in advance with IRCTC and use it as a payment option amongst the other payment options available on IRCTC website for paying money at the time of booking tickets.

“It will reduce the Railway payment gateway time for the user as money will be deducted from the IRCTC and not from any bank as is the current practice, he said adding “there are about 10% failure in e-ticket booking due to the banking server problem.”

Besides IRCTC Passenger will also not levy the payment gateway charge for booking e-ticket through RDS. He said one can join the RDS with a minimum amount of Rs 1500 also.
