To ease rush at
booking counters, the railways is mulling introducing booking of unreserved railway tickets on e-wallets like
Paytm, JioMoney and Airtel Money.
The railways will not have to bear any cost for the facility. Instead, the public transporter is expected to earn from the selected e-wallet players commission on each ticket sold and retainer fees.
The railways carry total 23 million passengers in a day, of which only 6% is in reserved category and the rest are in unreserved segment which includes daily commuters.
