Margao: With a view towards transforming Konkan Railway (KR) into a digitally-enabled organisation, and in an endeavor to go cashless, the Konkan Railway Corporation has tied-up with State Bank of India to do away with monetary transactions in the form of cash collected by train ticket examiners (TTEs).
A press note by Konkan Railway said, “TTEs are equipped with SBI’s YONO merchant app, an android based app which is installed in the handset. Instead of collecting cash from passengers towards excess fare tickets, TTEs are now authorised to accept digital payment through QR code generated in the YONO App.”
Passengers will be requested to scan the QR code and make the payment through any digital mode — BHIM, Paytm, Google Pay, Phone Pay, etc. On successful transaction, excess fare ticket will be issued to the passengers in the train.
