Due to closure/merger of Printing Press, there has been a shortage of PCTs, in view of
which a pilot was launched on Southern & South Western Railways to replace PCTs with
UTS tickets at Halt stations. In due course, the pilot (operational up to 30.11.2018) was
extended to all Zonal Railways. The duration of the pilot project was later extended for
another six months (up to 31.05.2019).

2. Based on feedback of the pilot furnished by Zonal Railways, it has been decided to
launch a full-fledged scheme for issue of UTS tickets for Halt stations by getting the tickets
printed through UTS terminals provided at the serving stations identified by Zonal Railways.
The scheme shall be operational on all Zonal Railways till further orders. ,

2.1 A JPO of the scheme has also been finalised, a copy of which is enclosed herewith.
3. Necessary instructions may be issued to all concerned accordingly.
