Mobile App for Unreserved Railway Ticket within 5 Minutes

Ministry connected with Indian Railway launched Paperless Cell Ticketing apps. In the ongoing efforts to boost access to and availability of unreserved tickets and within the ‘Operation Five Minutes ‘initiative on the Honorable Minister of Railways announced from the Railway Budget 2015,



Indian Railways has evolved a mobile phone application in which suburban tickets can be booked on Smart phones. This application takes away the inconvenience of getting to wait in a queue as a way to buy the ticket. This wouldn't normally only save time, but also avoid use of paper for tickets. Given the huge popularity on the e-ticketing facility for reserved lotto tickets, it is felt that this specific paperless mobile ticket facility will likely be equally popular among Railway people. Now get Unreserved Railway Ticket within 5 minutes



As this is a GPS based application, using geo wall to demarcate physical territory, a passenger CANNOT book a ticket by using application if he/she is inside a station or on a train for this route. The application works 15 metres far from either side of the tracks and in a radius of 5 km in the stations on the sector.


The ticket once booked is not forwarded or a screen shot taken of the usb ports. It also cannot be edited. Currently the application can end up being downloaded on Android and phones only.


Phase-II of the mobile ticketing application involving paperless tickets can become operational only on the Chennai Egmore – Tambaram section as being a pilot project after its launch because of the Minister of Railways.
