Many new facilities started for railway passengers
IRCTC has upgraded its website under Digital India. It has also started its payment gateway IRCTC-iPay. With the implementation of the new system, passengers who have canceled tickets through IRCTC website and mobile app will not have to wait long for refund. According to railway officials, after this arrangement, all the tickets from Tatkal can be easily booked and canceled as well.
Actually, during the Corona era, people do not want to line up outside the booking office of the railway station. Therefore, more than 80 percent of railway tickets are being booked through IRCTC. The number of passengers in trains is also increasing.
In view of this, IRCTC has upgraded the user interface. Along with this, it has also added the feature of Auto Pay in its payment gateway i-pay. Due to this, users are taking less time in booking tickets. In case of automatic cancellation of Tatkal tickets also, the refund time has been reduced. According to the public relations officer, at present about 83 percent railway tickets are being booked online through IRCTC.
