IRCTC To Soon Launch Own E-Wallet For Ticket Payments
Frequent travellers will be relieved to know that the e-ticketing and catering arm of Indian Railways, IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) is set to launch its own payment aggregator called IRCTC-iPay. This means that you will no longer need to use third-party vendor's digital wallets when you book tickets on IRCTC's official website or the Rail Connect App.
In a tweet, IRCTC only disclosed that the app will allow payment options like Credit Card, Debit Card, International Card, Auto Debit, UPI, Wallets etc. It also said that PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) security certificate has been given to IRCTC. Further details were not disclosed.
