HUBBALLI, JUNE 02: In a bid to facilitate passengers book unreserved train tickets online, the Indian Railways has removed several restrictions on the UTS Mobile app.
The Indian Railways has removed restrictions like geo-fencing, distance, platform and seasonal tickets on the UTS on Mobile app which allows passengers to book the ticket online.
Passengers can now book paperless tickets from any station or location without the previous restriction of a 50-km radius. The geo-fencing within stations stays the same. Ticket booking is allowed from outside the station premises.
The railways says the app is gaining popularity with daily ticket sales rising from 5,301 in April 2023 to 9,388 in April 2024. Users get a 3% bonus when they recharge their R-Wallet for unreserved ticket booking.
The app is integrated with UPI apps, while QR codes on ATVMs enable easy app downloads and ticket bookings via R-Wallet.
