Want a ticket from the station counter? So now it will be necessary to give OTP, know this new rule of Railways: – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: We all know that getting a confirmed train ticket in India is no less than fighting a battle. Especially when it is festival season or holiday time, then Tatkal Ticket People sleep at the station all night long.

But we get most angry when we stand in the queue and agents or some clever people steal all the tickets by committing fraud. To stop this fraud Indian Railways Now has implemented such a ‘masterstroke’ rule, which is going to provide great relief to the common passenger.

The news is that now to get or cancel tickets from Railway Reservation Counter (PRS Counter) OTP (One Time Password) The based system is being made more strict and mandatory.

Let us understand in simple language how this new rule will work and how it will benefit you.

Why was OTP made necessary?

What happened till now? While booking tickets at the counter, people used to write any mobile number in the form. Brokers often took advantage of this and blocked tickets with fake numbers. But now this will not work.

The objective of Railways is clear that only those who are genuine passengers or those who are standing in the queue should get tickets. This new system will directly hit black marketing of tickets.

How will this rule work?

When you go to book a ticket at the reservation counter of the station, the process will be something like this:

1. Correct number: You will have to give the clerk your mobile number which you have.
2. OTP: As soon as the clerk enters your number in the system, an OTP (password) will immediately come on your phone.
3. Verification: You will have to tell that OTP to the clerk. The ticket will be printed only when the clerk fills it in the system.

this is the rule Ticket Cancellation (Refund) Will also be applicable for. So that no other person can steal your money by canceling your ticket.

Brokers are in trouble now

The biggest impact of this rule will be on those agents who used to issue tickets through fake software or jugaad. Since every ticket will now require a live mobile and OTP, their fraud will be caught.

Railway officials say that this will bring transparency in the system and those who stand in the queue for hours waiting for their turn, their chances of getting a confirmed seat will increase.

advice for travelers

So brother, now whenever you go to the station to buy a ticket, keep these two things in mind:

• own mobile phone Take it with you.
• Make sure it has balance/network So that SMS can come.

If you forget your phone at home, it will be difficult to get tickets from the counter. This step of Railways is certainly a bit strict, but it is in favor of common passengers like us. Hopefully now the “expectation” of getting the ticket in “Tatkal” will increase a little more!
