Railway Introduces Online Payment For Freight Services

Railways take a giant step in ease of doing business for freight services by introducing online payment of freight charges.  Now freight customers can avail the facility through the Freight Business Development (FBD) portal of Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) using SBI’s payment gateway.  

With the introduction of this facility, payment can be made through net banking/credit card/debit card/UPI and so on. Earlier, the freight customers were required to sign an agreement with the Railways and nominate a bank to avail e-payment facility or pay the amount through demand draft or bank cheque.
