Passengers have to buy the ticket using the app. Taking a print out is not compulsory. One can show the soft copy on the mobile to the train ticket examiner. As per the plan, one may download the app from the Google App store for Android-based mobile phones. After the download, the user will get a registration ID number for creation of a railway e-wallet. Money for buying tickets will have to be loaded through the e-wallet mobile payment system either online or at a ticket counter at any station. Passengers have the option of topping up the e-wallet at ticket counters or on the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) website using a credit or debit card. Besides booking tickets, one can even renew season tickets using the app.
