Presently features like UTS Number, Stock Number, Ticket Fare, Source Station, Destination Station, Number of Adults, Number of Children, Train Type, Class Code & Date of Journey are printed in the form of encrypted QR code. To check the frauds, Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) has developed solution to print encrypted QR code o­n unreserved tickets through thermal printers. Whenever Ticket Checking Staff (TTEs/TCs) checks ticket, he can scan encrypted QR code and after decryption of data, he can validate the information printed o­n the ticket to prevent any fraudulent activity. In this technology, printing will be done through thermal printer o­n thermal stationery o­nly. Therefore, fraud by taking out carbon copy of ticket cannot be done. Low value- High value fraud and erasing of data & printing of other information o­n ticket will be detected by scanning QR.
