CRIS vide above cited letters ref. at (i) informed that QR payment through QR display device 
can be enabled only in thin clients having kernel version 3.1 & above. Integration with QR 
display device is not feasible in old thin clients having kernel version below 3.1 and dumb 
terminals. CRIS vide letters ref. at (ii) & (iv) has already informed the Zonal Railways about 
the latest specifications of thin clients and ATVMs. 
Copy to: 
CAOPTS vide letter ref. at (i) also communicated to all Zonal Railways for replacement of old 
thin clients having kernel version below 3.1 and dumb terminals so that QR payment can be 
enabled at all counters of Indian Railways. 
It is further stated that still thin clients at counters and ATVMs are running with kernel version 
below 3.1. Since kernel version below 3.1 (i.e. 2.6 kernel version) is outdated, therefore, no 
further development is possible on thin clients and ATVMs having kernel version below 3.1. 
CRIS is developing applications under UTS Modernization and these applications will not run 
on thin clients and ATVMs having kernel version 2.6. 
Dated: 03.06.2024 
CAOPTS is requested to advise all Zonal Railways to replace old thin clients & ATVMs 
(below 3.1 kernel version) with latest kernel version of 4.18.x. across all Zonal Railways for 
smooth running of QR payment at counters and Modernized UTS applications.
