Irctc Railway E Ticket

The railways will move towards contactless ticketing like at airports with QR code-enabled tickets, which will be scanned on handheld devices and mobile phones at the stations and on the trains, a senior official of the national transporter said on Thursday.

IRCTC e-wallet, like Paytm and Mobikwik, allows its users to deposit money in advance and can be used to pay for tickets.

Tickets can be booked from 12:30am to 11:45pm, owing to new server upgrades.

With the new system, 120,000 concurrent users can book e-tickets simultaneously, against the earlier capacity of 40,000 concurrent users.

It would cost about Rs 100 crore to Railways for strengthening the ticketing site.
