Now book train tickets with FreeCharge

Digital payments platform FreeCharge has tied up with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to provide digital payments for ticket bookings. On a daily basis, IRCTC processes over 180 million transactions on its platform and this partnership are likely to strengthen the payment process—offering a fast and convenient digital payments experience.

Commenting on the partnership, Govind Rajan, Chief Executive Officer, FreeCharge said, “We are delighted to partner with IRCTC and be a part of their journey to make customer’s travel experience frictionless and convenient in every way. With this partnership, we further expand our reach in commute and travel segment. FreeCharge is the fastest way to pay and we believe that will offer immense value for users booking at IRCTC. Our aim is to make FreeCharge wallet all pervasive in customer’s lives.”

With the current demonetisation chaos, FreeCharge wallet is likely to be a boon for travelers. Last week, Paytm tied up with NHAI to introduce cashless payment systems at highway tolls across the country.
