In line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India’s vision of a Digital India, and with a view to assist the public to buy train tickets, enabling them to carry out their transactions digitally/cashless, as per the instructions of Sri Hari Shankar Verma, DRM, the Commercial Branch of Salem Division, Southern Railway, has installed 4 credit cards swipe machines, technically called POS (Point of Sales) machines, from State Bank of India, in the PRS counters (advance ticket booking centers) of Coimbatore (2), Salem (1) and Erode (1), on trial basis. These 4 credit card transaction machines have been installed over and above the 3 debit card transaction machines from SBI installed in Salem, Coimbatore and Erode Railway Stations (1 each).
