Indian Railways has launched its new UTS on mobile application in order to promote paperless economy. This mobile ticketing app enables booking unreserved paperless journey ticket, issue/renew season ticket and platform ticket.

There is no need to take any printout.
• Passenger’s smartphone should be GPS enabled.
• Paperless tickets are not allowed for cancellation.
