Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance the travel experience for passengers of the RRTS and Indian Railways through the One India - One Ticket initiative. This partnership aims to provide seamless travel solutions to passengers booking online tickets through the IRCTC platform for railways, air travel, or buses who will now have the added convenience of seamlessly booking NCRTC QR code-based tickets.

This will make it easier for passengers to book and travel using both the Indian Railways network and the RRTS services. The RRTS booking option for up to 8 travelers will be displayed on the PNR confirmation page and will also be accessible from the users train ticket booking history. A unique QR code will be generated for each RRTS ticket and conveniently printed on the Electronic Reservation Slip (ERS). The QR codes will be valid for a period of 4 days, starting from the day before the RRTS journey date, the travel date itself, and two days after the journey date. Each passenger on the train ticket will receive their own RRTS ticket with a dedicated QR code, ensuring a hassle-free travel experience. All RRTS tickets booked for a single train ticket will share the same origin and destination stations for all passengers.

IRCTC is the only entity authorised by the Indian railways to provide catering services to railways, online railway tickets and packaged drinking water at railway stations and trains in India.
