Hyderabad: As part of encouraging cashless transactions and digital payments, the South Central Railway (SCR) zone has set up at all point of sale machines and UPI payments in Passenger Reservation System (PRS) and Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) counters in almost all important railway stations in Non-Suburban (NSG) 1-4 and Sub-urban category stations. At present, over 466 POS machines have been made available across SCR for PRS and UTS ticketing.
According to SCR, these POS machines facilitate payments through debit/credit cards, thereby ensuring effortless and convenient transactions. The passengers can also make payments through various UPI apps, which can be downloaded from the app store. The UPI apps ensure flexible and speedy payments through mobile phones.
Arun Kumar Jain, general manager, SCR, stated that the zone has been proactively promoting digital payments to strengthen the digital India initiative in railways and also ensure easy and fast payment options for all rail users.
He also appealed to commuters to adopt cashless transactions, which will not only save them time but also provide them with an easy and convenient purchase option.
