In the new facility, passengers will also be able to pay through digital transactions for the facilities provided by the Automatic Ticket Vending Machine. Passengers can also recharge ATVM smart cards through this. On the occasion of starting this facility on behalf of the Railways, appealed to the passengers to pay maximum in digital mode and get rid of long queues. At such stations, the Railway Board often received complaints from passengers about waiting in line for hours to get tickets. Many times passengers miss the train due to long queues at the stations.

In the first phase, it has been started at a few stations. Gradually, passengers will be able to take advantage of this facility at all stations across the country. According to Captain Shashi Kiran, Chief Public Relations Officer, North Western Railway, UPI QR codes have been arranged for all services in ATVMs installed at railway stations. By scanning the QR code, passengers can get the ticket by making a digital payment by phone.
