E-wallet Scheme has been launched by Indian Railways Catering and
Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a public sector undertaking of the Ministry
of railways, to make the payment process fast and to reduce transaction
failures due to bank payment related problems. Under this scheme, user
can deposit money in advance with IRCTC which can be used as a payment
option along with other payment options available on IRCTC website for
paying money at the time of booking tickets. This scheme is available
for PAN verified user only.
Names of all the passengers booked on a fully waitlisted e-ticket are dropped at the time of preparation of reservation charts and fare is refunded automatically. In this regard, there is no difference between e-tickets booked through E-wallet scheme or those booked through other payment options available on website www.irctc.co.in.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
