With the objective of enhancing passenger convenience and promoting digital payments, the Railway Administration has decided to offer additional benefits on booking unreserved tickets through the RailOne app. This new initiative will enable more passengers to adopt digital platforms and enjoy simple, safe, and fast ticket booking.
At present, passengers booking unreserved tickets through the RailOne app using the R-Wallet are being provided a 3 percent bonus cashback. In continuation of this, and to further encourage digital payments, it has been decided that passengers booking unreserved tickets on the RailOne app using digital payment modes other than the R-Wallet—such as UPI, debit cards, credit cards, etc.—will be given a 3 percent discount on the ticket fare.
It is clarified that if unreserved tickets are booked on the RailOne app through the R-Wallet, the existing provision of 3 percent bonus cashback will continue as before, with no change.
This special facility of a 3 percent discount will be effective from 14 January 2026 to 14 July 2026. During this period, the impact of the scheme and passenger feedback will be assessed by CRIS (Centre for Railway Information Systems), and feedback will be submitted in May 2026, based on which further review and necessary decisions will be taken.
For the smooth and effective implementation of this scheme, necessary technical modifications will be carried out in the RailOne app. The Railway Administration appeals to passengers to make maximum use of this facility by using digital payment modes and to contribute towards promoting a cashless, convenient, and environmentally friendly rail travel experience.
