IRCTC Deploys AI-Based Solution to Block 3.5 Crore Fake IDs
Enhancing Ticketing Fairness and Security
To reduce fraudulent train ticket bookings, the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has introduced cutting-edge AI-based technologies. To provide equitable access to tickets for those travelers who require them, technology assists in identifying illegal activities and lowers the number of fake user IDs.
Robust Action Against Fraudulent Activities
According to the Economic Times report and other sources, the Indian Railways' AI system has already curbed about 3.5 crore fake IDs. This is one of the historic accomplishments that demonstrates the system's precision and effectiveness. Since train prices used to fluctuate due to dynamic pricing, the IDs were primarily used to manipulate ticket availability and put a financial strain on legitimate travelers.

Improving Passenger Experience
Passengers now believe they have better access to the ticket booking process because the AI system is able to identify suspicious activity. In periods of high travel demand, when it is impossible to obtain tickets at what are considered to be standard prices, this aids travelers. According to reports, the AI has lessened the interference of unauthorized agents and illegal brokers, enabling the public to transact more easily.
Future-Proofing Railway Reservations
As the company prepares to implement artificial intelligence technology, it is reported that IRCTC will implement additional measures and improve its systems to lessen and remain ahead of the fraudulent activities that are constantly changing in this technological age.
The IRCTC is taking significant actions to increase confidence in the railway network they offer in India because of the deployment of AI systems.
