Get your train tickets printed from ATMs: Train tickets will soon be available through ATMs in railways stations. RBI has allowed seven public sector banks to instal ATMs and ticket-dispensing kiosks at train stations, in association with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). These ATMs will be in addition to the 681 ATMs in rail stations to be set up by State Bank of India (SBI). The banks that have received permission include Punjab National Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Union Bank of India, Dena Bank and Indian Bank. Indian Railways will allot of 6 square metres to the bank for installing an ATM and an additional 1.5 square metres for the kiosk. There could be 4-5 ATMs at each railway station, said sources. In addition to this, IRCTC has asked these banks to instal one kiosk beside each ATM put up at railway stations. The kiosks will issue long-distance tickets as well as season tickets either through e-ticketing or i-ticketing.
