To make ticket booking easier, railway has started booking of unreserved tickets through mobile app. Through your android/windows smartphone, all you have to do is to download the given app – utsonmobile - and register yourself by filling up the registration form. Once login id and user password is created you need to login and create an R-wallet that can be recharged from counters on railway station or you can also recharge through internet with minimum of Rs 100 to maximum of Rs 5000. Once you have the balance in your R-wallet you can book unreserved tickets through app with maximum of four tickets in one time. However, many limitations are imposed in order to restrict any black marketing such as – Journey tickets are allowed within the radius of 5km of departure station while passengers can only book tickets 15 meters away from railway tracks or station. Platform tickets can be booked for a distance maximum of 2 kms from the journey station. No one can book tickets of later dates i.e. you will only be allowed to book ticket of the same day. Once booked, ticket will be saved on your app and will be valid without being printed on paper. This facility will also reduce extra rush on ticketing counters thereby facilitating such passengers to purchase their tickets rather easily who do not have smartphones. |
