To encourage cashless transactions and increase digital payments, the South Central Railway (SCR) has introduced the facility of payment through ‘QR’ (Quick Response) code for purchasing tickets at general booking counters.
SCR officials said the initiative does away the need for carrying cash and tendering exact change. As a pilot project, this is being implemented in 31 counters spread across 14 stations in SCR Secunderabad division.
Fare repeaters are provided at general booking counters right outside the ticket window, displaying details which can be checked by passenger for more accuracy and transparency.
