Now get railway tickets at your doorstep with pay on delivery option

NEW DELHI: Now passengers booking rail tickets online can opt for cash on delivery option and tickets will be brought to their doorstep at a minimal charge.   
IMAGE REPRESENTATION
In order to capture all sections of customers, IRCTC, a railway PSU, for the first time is introducing Pay-on-Delivery (PoD) option for buying railway e-tickets. ‘Pay on Delivery’ payment option would allow the user to pay at the time of delivery through any payment mode including cash.
IRCTC through its Website and Mobile App has now introduced Pay-on-Delivery as one of the payment options for its customers.  Security element attached to revealing their card details on Websites / Apps has often acted as a hindrance to Indian Consumers and move is expected to make many passengers shifting to book online ticket.
“Delivering tickets at the consumer’s doorstep by offering the pay-on-delivery option will facilitate those consumers who book through travel agents to move to online medium. It will also certainly encourage people who book at railway reservation counters to move to online medium as there is a cost and effort associated to reach out the reservation counters,” said an IRCTC official.
The service will be available in more than 600 cities/towns covering more than 4000 pin codes and would be initially available five days before the departure date.
The customer will have to do a onetime registration for availing PoD as a payment option. Customer will have to tender either ADHAAR or PANCARD to avail this payment option. Payment on Delivery Charges shall be Rs.90 plus service for transaction up to Rs 5,000 and Rs 120 plus service tax for transactions valuing more than Rs 5,000.
In case of refusal/cancellation before delivery, the customer will be liable to pay the cancellation and delivery charges.
“Strict action as per law may be initiated if the customer defaults to pay the booking/cancellation charges and the user id will be deactivated. Customer’s CIBIL score would also be influenced in case of non-payment of dues. The refunds against cancellation would be tendered to users’ bank account only,” the official added.

Non Resident Indians (NRIs) can now join and subscribe to NPS online through eNPS

NRIs have a pivotal role to play in the Indian economy. India has the second-largest Diaspora in the world, with around 29 million people living in over 200 countries and out of these 25% live in the Gulf countries. Most of the Indians going to the Gulf and some other countries go for employment and return to India after having worked abroad for a certain period.

NPS can provide a long term solution to their old age income security. NPS has been available to NRIs for some time through Bank offices and now, to further ease the process of joining, eNPS is being extended to Non-Resident Indian subscribers.

NRIs can now open NPS Accounts online if they have Aadhaar Card or PAN card

Till now, NRIs could open NPS accounts only through paper applications by approaching Bank offices but this has now changed. Through eNPS, a subscriber will be able to open an NPS account from the comfort of his home. All he will need is an internet connection and an Aadhaar/ PanCard.

Further, NRIs will be able to open NPS accounts both on Repatriable and on Non Repatriable basis. On a Repatriable basis, an NRI will have to remit the amount through his/her NRE/FCNR/NRO account.

For Non-Repatriable scheme, NRIs will be able to join NPS through their NRE/FCNR/NRO accounts at the time of maturity or during partial withdrawal, the NPS funds would be deposited only in their NRO accounts.

Both Repatriable and Non-Repatriable schemes will greatly appeal to NRIs who intend to return to India after their employment abroad, in view of their attractive returns, low cost, flexibility and their being regulated by the PFRDA, a Regulator established by the Central Government .

Passengers can now book wheelchairsonline as Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has launched the service for free at New Delhi station.

Passengers can now book wheelchairsonline as Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has launched the service for free at New Delhi station.

The wheelchair facility is for the benefit of old, sick and differently-abled people, who can pre-book wheelchairs while booking their tickets online, IRCTC Chairman and Managing Director AK Manocha said.

“We have started the service on a pilot basis at the New Delhi station which can be replicated at other stations also,” he added.

At present, there are nine wheelchairs available for booking as part of e-wheelchair service. Such a wheelchair can be hired for a maximum time of one hour. Those availing the facility need to deposit their I-cards such as voter ID card, Aadhaar card or PAN among others with a deposit fee of Rs 500, which will be returned after the wheelchair is given back.

The facility will also be dispensed from IRCTC’s Tourism Facilitation Centre located at platform no.16 of New Delhi station.

There is no age limit for booking of wheelchairs. Any passenger having confirmed reservation ticket can book the wheelchair on IRCTC website.

Indian Railways to allow Tatkal Train Tickets booking without ID Proof soon

Indian Railways to allow Tatkal Train Tickets booking without ID Proof soon

Chennai (MAS): Soon, passengers need not worry about providing their identity proof while booking tatkal train tickets, be it in the online or offline mode.

Instead, they can carry any one of the 10 prescribed proofs of identity, which include the passbook  with photograph of a nationalised bank or a bank credit card with photograph, during the travel, a Railway Board circular dated July 14, says.

The new rule would bring a huge relief to a large number of passengers who are desperate to buy tickets a day ahead of travel. Currently, those making their way to the Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters at 10 am to procure paper tatkal tickets have to submit photocopies of their identity card. Those who are booking the tickets online need to key in the ID card details. All these details will be printed on the reservation chart pasted on the train coach. In addition, the passengers need to furnish the same ID card to the Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE). In case a different ID is shown, the TTE can slap fine on them for travelling without a valid ticket.

“There have been many instances when I’ve entered my driving licence details while booking the e-ticket, but during the journey I was carrying my PAN card and I was fined by the TTE. When I argued that the traveller’s details were same and only the ID card was different, he didn’t relent,” said S Karthik, a 27-year-old IT professional from Bangalore, who travels to Chennai regularly.

Others were relieved that their PAN card and passport details would not be printed on the reservation charts pasted on coaches. “In the time of internet and telephone frauds, it’s not safe for such details to be publicly available on the railway coaches where anyone can access them,” says 40-year-old home-maker G Pavithra.

The Railway Board circular has directed the Indian Railways IT wing, Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), to make the requisite changes in the software by September 1, after which the new rule is likely to come into effect.

10% Tax Proposed on PF Withdrawals

10% Tax Proposed on PF Withdrawals

The Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has decided to impose a tax of 10.3% on the amount withdrawn from the EPF within five years of starting the accounts.

EPF accounts have to be created in all the concerns that employ more than 20 workers, with salaries of Rs.6,500 and Rs.15,000 per month. 12% of their salaries are deducted and are deposited into the PF account each month. The company contributes an equal amount to the account. 10.3% tax shall henceforth be imposed if the employee retires within five years of starting the account, or if he quits his employment with one company and joins another company, or if he decides to reclaim the amount in the EPF account.

If the annual EPF payment exceeds Rs.30,000, he has to produce his PAN card number. If the employee doesn’t have a PAN card or if he fails to submit the PAN details, he will not be given the amount in the account. About 90% of the EPF scheme (or nearly 8.5 crore people) do not have PAN Card details.

Those who do not have PAN cards shall have to pay the maximum taxable percentage of 35% on the amount that is due to them. Those who are reclaiming their PF money after five years won’t have to pay any taxes.
