The machines are expected to be made available by Dec 31. Presently, there is no PoS machine and travellers have to pay through cash.
"We have around 12,000 ticket counters. All of them would be equipped with one or more POS machines depending on the daily transactions. Managing cash is also a huge task for our staff. It would be beneficial for them as well if we could have enough swipe machines,” a senior rail board official told ET.
The railways ministry will also go cashless for paying vendors and contractors.
Railways already has 95% of its freight collection cashless.
