Nagpur :- In line with its commitment to enhancing the passenger experience through technology, Central Railway Nagpur Division has launched a new initiative to provide digital payment facilities at reserved and unreserved ticket counters using QR code devices. This innovative solution is now available at counters across the Nagpur Division, streamlining the ticket purchasing process for passengers and promoting the use of cashless transactions.
From September 1, 2024, to October 20, 2024, Nagpur Division issued unreserved tickets amounting to ₹1,23,55,936 for 1,54,669 passengers and issued reserved tickets amounting 1,49,58,240 for 26,489 passengers. With the introduction of QR code payment options, passengers purchasing tickets at these counters can now enjoy quicker, easier digital payments without the need for physical cash or change.
This initiative builds upon the success of previous digital systems, including mobile ticketing for reserved tickets and the UTS on Mobile app for unreserved tickets. By integrating QR code devices at ticket counters, Central Railway is taking a significant step towards a more seamless, efficient, and cashless ticketing experience for passengers.
Key Benefits for Passengers:
•Faster ticket purchases: Reduce time spent at counters by completing transactions quickly.
•Convenient digital payments: Pay effortlessly through QR code scanning via UPI or mobile banking apps.
•Elimination of change-related issues: No need to worry about handling cash or receiving exact change.

This move aligns with Indian Railways’ broader strategy to promote digital payments and improve operational efficiency across the network. Central Railway encourages passengers to adopt this new technology, ensuring a smoother and more convenient travel experience from the first step of their journey ticket purchase.
Passengers are urged to take advantage of the QR code payment system, making their ticket-buying process faster and hassle-free. Central Railway remains committed to integrating advanced technologies for the benefit of passengers and improving services across the board.
