Indian Railways' new RailOne app provides passengers with all facilities in one place, such as ticket booking, refunds, PNR status, and platform tickets. Buying tickets with the R-Wallet also offers a discount of up to 3%.
RailOne App: If you travel by train and are tired of using different apps for ticket booking, there's good news for you. Indian Railways has launched a new super app, 'RailOne', keeping in mind the convenience of passengers, which brings together all the features of several railway apps on a single platform.
What is RailOne?
RailOne is Indian Railways' new all-in-one mobile app, specially designed for passengers. This app integrates several existing railway-related apps such as Rail Connect, UTS, Rail Madad, NTES, and IRCTC services in one place. Now, passengers will not need to install different apps to book tickets, get platform tickets, find train information, file complaints, or view refund status. With RailOne, all of this is now possible with just a click.
How to get a discount on ticket booking?
Another special feature of the RailOne app is that it also offers a digital wallet called R-Wallet. Using this wallet, passengers can purchase general tickets, platform tickets, and reservation tickets. The special thing is that if you buy tickets with the R-Wallet, you will also get a discount of up to 3%. This means that every time you take an unreserved ticket or platform ticket from this app, you will save a little.
Key features of the RailOne app
The RailOne app is not limited to just ticket booking. It includes many useful features for passengers:
- Reservation and unreserved ticket booking is now possible from the same app.
- Platform tickets can also be purchased in a few seconds from your mobile.
- Checking PNR status will now be even easier – without logging in.
- Information about the train's coach location, i.e., which platform your bogie will stop at, will also be available in advance.
- Information related to freight booking and parcel delivery will also be available on this app.
- Refund status, train delay information, and live train running status updates will also be available instantly.
- This app is also useful for filing complaints if there is any problem during the journey.
App security and user interface
The RailOne app has been made completely user-friendly so that even people with limited technical knowledge can use it easily. Also, end-to-end encryption is used for ticket booking, payments, and data privacy, which keeps your information completely secure.
Where to download?
The RailOne app can be downloaded on both Android and iOS platforms. You can download it for free from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. After installing the app, you will need to log in with your mobile number and Aadhaar/IRCTC ID. After that, you can add balance to the R-Wallet and purchase tickets.

- The facility to order food inside the train
