How to Use the RailOne App (Formerly UTS App)
The RailOne app (which replaced the UTS / Unreserved Ticketing System app in March 2026) lets you book unreserved Indian Railways tickets digitally by scanning station and platform QR codes — no queues, no paper tickets. Here's how to get started in minutes.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Download the RailOne App
Install the official RailOne Mobile Ticketing app from the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS). The app is developed by CRIS (Centre for Railway Information Systems).
-
Register and Log In
Open the app, tap Register, and enter your mobile number. An OTP will be sent to verify your number. Once verified, set a 6-digit MPIN to log in quickly in the future.
-
Add Balance to Your R-Wallet
Tap R-Wallet → Add Money and top up using UPI, debit card, credit card, or net banking. A minimum balance of ₹100 is recommended. The R-Wallet is used to pay for all tickets.
-
Find Your Station's QR Code on RailOne
Search for your departure station on utsqrscan.in. Tap the station to open its dedicated QR code page. Keep this page open on your phone — you'll need to scan it in the next step.
-
Tap "Book Ticket" → "QR Scan" in the App
In the UTS app, tap Book Ticket from the home screen, then select QR Scan. This opens the in-app scanner.
-
Scan the QR Code
Hold your phone's camera over the QR code shown on the RailOne station page. The app will automatically detect the station and fill in the departure station field.
-
Enter Journey Details and Pay
Select your destination station, ticket type (single/return), class (2nd class / sleeper), and number of passengers. Review the fare and tap Pay to deduct from your R-Wallet.
-
Show Your Ticket to the TTE
Your digital ticket will appear under My Tickets in the app. Show the ticket (with the booking time and train details) to the Travelling Ticket Examiner during your journey. No printout required.
Tips
- Tickets must be booked within the station premises for QR-based booking — the app uses your GPS location.
- Book your ticket before boarding — you can book up to 3 hours in advance for suburban trains.
- If your GPS is off, the app may not allow booking. Enable location services.
- Keep your phone charged — you need the app open to show the ticket to the TTE.
- R-Wallet balance doesn't expire. You can safely top it up in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a platform QR code on Indian Railways?
A platform QR code is a QR code displayed at railway station platforms. Passengers scan it using the RailOne app to instantly book unreserved tickets. Indian Railways has made QR-based ticketing mandatory for platform entry at select stations. utsqrscan.in provides these platform QR codes for all major stations.
Is the RailOne app free to download?
Yes. The RailOne app is completely free to download and use. You only pay for the actual tickets booked through the app via your R-Wallet.
Can I book without scanning a QR code?
Yes. You can also book by typing the station name manually in the RailOne app. The QR scan method is faster because it auto-fills the station details.
What if the platform QR code on utsqrscan.in is outdated?
Use the 👎 feedback button on any station page to flag a broken QR code — we'll review it. You can always book manually via the RailOne app in the meantime.
Which trains support QR-based ticketing?
Unreserved ticketing via QR is available for most Express, Mail, and suburban trains on Indian Railways. It is not available for reserved-class tickets (3AC, 2AC, 1AC) — use IRCTC for those.
