Indian Railways to reactivate facility to book unreserved tickets through app

In a move to decongest ticket booking counters and to ensure compliance of social distancing norms, Indian Railways has decided to reactivate the facility to book unreserved tickets through UTS ON MOBILE app.

"Indian Railways unreserved train services are being introduced in a phased manner. In order to avoid any inconvenience to passengers in booking unreserved tickets and to ensure norms of social distancing at booking counters while purchasing the tickets, It has been decided that in addition to UTS on mobile App facility available on suburban sections, this facility may also be reintroduced on non-suburban sections of zonal Railways," the Railway Ministry in a statement said,

The statement from the Railway Ministry said,"Zonal Railways have been instructed that whenever unreserved train services are introduced on any zonal Railway, the zonal Railway concerned may accordingly enable UTS on mobile app for issuing unreserved tickets."
