Assam: NFR launches “dynamic QR” to book tickets at Guwahati Railway Station
Maligaon: For the first time in N. F. Railway, a train ticket over the Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) was generated through dynamic QR at Guwahati Railway Station.
This process is being rolled out across all the railway zones of the country and passengers are finding it convenient to grab their tickets through UTS. This is a part of the digitisation initiative with a view to promoting the three C’s — Contactless ticketing, Cashless transaction and Customer convenience & experience while booking tickets.
Generating UTS tickets through dynamic QR is aimed at eliminating the present cumbersome procedure of using UPI through a Virtual Payment Address (VPA).
Previously, passengers had to share their UPI ID with the on-duty booking clerk to generate a link in their VPA application.
After that, using the link in the VPA application, the passenger was able to pay the ticket amount.
On confirmation of payment in the booking system, the ticket was generated for the passenger.
The new procedure of generating tickets through dynamic QR was rolled out with a view to enhance efficiency in booking & purchasing unreserved tickets, reduce long queues at ticket counters and encourage users to shift to a digital booking procedure.
