Are you also worried about standing in long queues at the railway station during festivals for general tickets? Now, there's no need to do that. Indian Railways has launched a mobile app that allows you to easily book general, platform, and season tickets from the comfort of your home. Let's find out...

As the festival season begins in India, long queues at railway stations become common. During festivals like Diwali and Chhath Puja, people travel by train to visit family and friends, forcing passengers to wait for hours to get tickets. But now, there's an easy solution to this problem. Indian Railways has launched the UTS mobile app (Unreserved Ticketing System), which allows you to book unreserved tickets, platform tickets, and season tickets from the comfort of your home. This app, developed by CRIS (Centre for Railway Information Systems), has been designed with passenger convenience in mind.

How will payments be made using the UTS app?

The biggest advantage of the UTS mobile app is that there's no need to print the ticket. The ticket is available digitally directly on your smartphone. Using this app, you can book tickets for any railway station and make payments securely using UPI. Android users can download it from the Google Play Store, and iPhone users can download it from the Apple App Store. The app's registration process is also simple. First, enter your mobile number and required information, then set a password and log in.

What are the steps to book a ticket?

To book a ticket, select the "Book Ticket" option on the app's home screen. Then, enter the station name, travel date, and other ticket-related information. After completing the payment process, the ticket will be instantly transferred to your mobile in digital format. This allows you to travel easily without wasting time standing in long lines at railway stations. Platform tickets and season tickets can also be purchased easily through this app. The app's interface is simple and easy to use, making it easy for people of all ages.

Why is the UTS App beneficial during the festive season?

Given the rush of passengers during the festive season, the UTS mobile app is proving to be a boon. People can now book train tickets from the comfort of their homes and travel comfortably. This app not only saves passengers time but also relieves them of the hassle of standing at crowded stations. Indian Railways is constantly striving to enhance passenger convenience through digital initiatives like these, making train travel simpler, safer, and more convenient.
