Passengers using Indian Railways can now avail a 3% discount on unreserved tickets booked through digital payment modes on the RailOne App. The offer, announced as part of a push towards digital transactions, will remain valid until July 14, 2026.
According to information reported by Financial Express, the discount applies only to tickets purchased using UPI, debit cards, credit cards, or net banking on the RailOne platform.

Push for digital payments, relief for daily commuters
The move is expected to benefit millions of daily commuters who rely on unreserved tickets for short-distance and suburban travel. While the 3% reduction may appear modest, frequent travellers could see noticeable monthly savings.
Officials say the initiative is aimed at encouraging cashless transactions while making ticketing faster and more accessible. Digital booking also reduces queues at station counters, particularly during peak hours.
