Indian Railways Announces 3% Upfront Discount on RailOne Unreserved Tickets via Digital Payments Starting Jan 14

The move aims to boost cashless booking by extending incentives beyond the R-wallet.

Overview

  • The six-month offer runs from January 14 to July 14, 2026 for purchases made in the RailOne app.
  • The discount applies at checkout for any digital payment method, is restricted to unreserved tickets, and is exclusive to RailOne.
  • The existing 3% cashback for payments via the RailOne R-wallet remains in effect during the promotion.
  • A December 30 ministry directive tasked CRIS with software changes to enable the rollout on the app.
