The QR Code-based booking service will be started through the mobile app for booking unreserved tickets. The ticket buyer will have to scan the QR Code at the station with this app. After scanning, the app will ask for the destination. Once the user will submit the destination in the app, it will inform about the fare. The users can then pay the fare through any payment app or through railways' mobile wallet. Once the payment is done, the ticket will come on the app. Users can show this ticket to the TTE.
