Danapur Railway Division: Recruitment for Station Ticket Booking Agents announced at 16 stations

Danapur Rail Division under East Central Railway has invited applications for the recruitment of Station Ticket Booking Agents known as STBA. This initiative focuses on managing ticket counters at various stations through a commission-based system. The primary goal is to provide local residents with an opportunity to earn while ensuring that passengers face fewer delays during ticket purchases at smaller railway stations.

What are the eligibility criteria and security deposit details?

To apply for the position of a ticket agent, candidates must have completed their matriculation or 10th grade from a recognized educational board. The age limit for applicants is fixed between 18 and 60 years. Selected candidates are required to deposit a security amount of 20,000 rupees which stays with the railway administration. This security deposit is fully refundable to the agent after the contract ends or is terminated under official terms.

Which stations are included and how does the commission work?

The recruitment process is valid for 16 specific stations within the Danapur division where ticket booking services need support. Agents earn their income through a commission of up to 3 percent on the total sales of unreserved tickets. This system allows the railway to maintain active ticket windows without permanent staff at every location. The stations involved include major points such as Patna Sahib, Danapur, and Buxar among others listed in the official notification.
