Maharashtra Debunks UTS Shutdown Claim as Railways Push RailOne Migration

A phased plan keeps current passes valid, shifting new season tickets to the unified RailOne app.

Overview

  • MahaDGIPR said viral posts claiming the UTS app will be fully shut on March 1, 2026 are false.
  • Railways have stopped issuing new monthly, quarterly and annual season passes on UTS, and existing passes remain valid until expiry.
  • The UTS app now directs users to download RailOne and provides a Transfer Ticket option to move active passes and R‑Wallet balances.
  • From January 14 to July 14, RailOne offers a 3% discount on unreserved tickets via digital payments, plus a 3% cashback for R‑Wallet bookings.
  • Western Railway is promoting RailOne through station drives, help desks, posters, QR codes and trained staff, with the 139 helpline prepared to handle app queries.
