To encourage cashless transaction at ticket counters, parcel offices and parcel offices; South Eastern Railway has taken initiatives by installing Point of Sale (POS) machines in 4 divisions of its jurisdictions.

In total of 488 POS have been installed till now at Passenger Reservation System (PRS) Counters, Parcel offices, Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) Counters and suburban and non-suburban sections of South Eastern Railway.

Parcel offices are now equipped with POS machines and South Eastern Railway has also introduced such facility in non-suburban sections along with some static catering units.
Passengers may use Point of Sale machines to purchase season tickets also for their convenience apart from UTS mobile Apps, which have been introduced in all sections of SER jurisdiction in recent past.
The objective of railways is to its ticket sale system to be completely cashless to reduce higher cost of managing ticket windows. Cash dealing in reservation offices and at stations is tough task for the booking officials. It will also be beneficial for Booking and Parcel Clerks as well if railway provides enough Swipe Machines across the Railways.
