Indian Railways has introduced an exciting scheme that allows passengers to book tickets instantly and pay later. This initiative, known as the “Book Now, Pay Later” scheme, ensures that travelers can secure their tickets without immediate payment and settle the amount within 14 days.
No Immediate Payment, No Problem!
If you’re short on funds while booking your train ticket, there’s no need to stress. With this scheme, passengers can confirm their travel plans without upfront costs. As long as the payment is completed within 14 days, no extra charges are applied. However, delays beyond this period will incur a nominal service charge of 3.5%.
How to Use the “Book Now, Pay Later” Scheme
To benefit from this convenient option, follow these steps:
- Log in to Your IRCTC Account: Start by logging into your Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) account.
- Book Your Ticket: Select the “Book Now” option, enter the passenger details, and submit the information.
- Choose Payment Method: On the payment page, you’ll see options like credit/debit cards, net banking, or the BHIM app. Select the “Pay Later” option to proceed without immediate payment.
Convenient and Flexible Travel
This scheme is a game-changer for those who need financial flexibility when planning their journey. Whether you’re traveling for work, a family visit, or leisure, this initiative makes booking tickets more accessible for everyone.
