Instant online railway ticket booking

KOCHI: Muthoot Travelsmart, a Muthoot M George enterprise, has launched its instant online railway ticket booking system using its travel portal http://www.mtravelsmart.com.

M G George, chairman, Muthoot Group, launched the service.

Muthoot Travelsmart is the first organisation to enter into leading agreement with IRCTC to offer online railway ticket reservation services for the public through over 1,300 Muthoot Finance branches across India.

K P Padmakumar, executive director, told reporters here that with the launch of the rail ticket facility, users do not have to approach main railway stations and booking centres.

Muthoot Treavelsmart is positioned to offer excellent service to users for an international tour package or a local train ticket or clearing the simplest doubts about a tourist spot. The service of the Muthoot staff will be available to any person for gathering information on train routes to the chosen destination, fare details, seat availability and also procure ticket from that branch.

This facility can be availed of by a large section of travellers who are not able to book their tickets through internet due to non-availability of internet connection and not able to pay through the credit card.

Empowered cardholders of Muthoot can be given the ticket through e-mail by a phone call to any of the branches. A service charge of Rs 10 is charged for sleeper class and Rs 20 for upper class tickets.

IRCTC group general manager Rajini Haseena, regional manager K Damodaran and Muthoot Travelsmart CEO Bindhu Bijimon were also present.
