Mobikwik partners with IRCTC for tatkal booking payments

Payments company Mobikwik has partnered with Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), a subsidiary of the Indian Railways, to make e-payments for taktal bookings easier and faster.

A statement from Mobikwik said, "Instantaneous payments with MobiKwik will help tatkal online in managing the load of over a thousand ticket bookings per minute. The service will also help users to ensure that their bookings don't get rejected due to payment delays.

Mobikwik said that with its services available at IRCTC, payment time will come down to two seconds. For this, users will be required to preload their MobiKwik wallet with money before booking the ticket.

Commenting on the development, Upasana Taku, co-founder, Mobikwik, said, "MobiKwik collaborated with the Indian Railways to digitise payments on the IRCTC app and the IRCTC FoodOnTrack app this year, and now we are powering payments for tatkal online that will help users book tickets almost instantly. We're proud to support the largest rail network in Asia in their endeavour to digitise payments and provide the best payments experience to their users."
