Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. (KRCL) has tied up with the State Bank of India (SBI) to do away with the system of Train Ticket Examiners (TTEs) collecting cash from passengers. Handsets used by TTEs are now loaded with the SBI’s YONO Merchant App. With this, they are authorised to accept digital payment through QR code generated in the YONO App, instead of collecting cash from passengers towards excess fare ticket. Passengers will be requested to scan the QR code and make payment through any of the digital modes, BHIM, Paytm, Google Pay or PhonePe and excess fare ticket will be issued to passengers on trains itself on successful transaction. The use of this application will reduce cash handling by TTEs, a press release from KRCL said.
