Train commuters in India will no longer require credit/debit cards to buy their tickets online. Internet portal, Sify.com has tied up with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to make online ticketing service available at over 3400 iWay cyber cafes across 154 cities in the country with cash payments. A pilot project at 10 iWays in Delhi has already begun and is expected to revolutionize the way railway ticketing is conducted. P. K. Goel, managing director, IRCTC, said, "This path-breaking initiative is aimed at making railway e-ticketing easier and convenient for our customers across the country. For they no longer have to worry about using credit cards or having a net banking facility, which is restricted to those with access to computers at home or in the office. Instead, they can simply make the online bookings and make convenient cash payment at Sify's iWays. We are very pleased to be able to make this very successful facility available to all our customers with the help of Sify iWays. The reach and network of Sify's iWays is sure to make a difference by enabling access to this online service to the masses." To avail of this new service, one has to visit a Sify iWay outlet, where the café administrator will book the railway ticket online, after checking for availability. The customer can pay cash against the ticket after collecting the ticket printout. In case of ticket cancellations, the customers will have to follow the standard cancellation process of the IRCTC.
