North Eastern Railway: Applications invited for ATVM facilitators to reduce ticket queues
North Eastern Railway has invited applications from common citizens to manage Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVM) at railway stations. These individuals will be appointed as facilitators to ensure the machines work properly and help passengers get tickets quickly. This move aims to reduce the long queues at ticket counters and make travel easier for the general public.

Who can apply for the ATVM Facilitator role
The railway is looking for local residents, retired railway employees, and their adult children or spouses to take up this responsibility. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have passed the 10th grade (SSLC). Knowledge of the local language is also required to help passengers effectively. In some divisions like Prayagraj, the railway has specifically invited applications from Divyangjan.
What are the benefits and requirements for facilitators
Facilitators will use smart cards to issue unreserved tickets to passengers. As an incentive, they will receive a bonus of up to 3% on every ticket sold. While the railway handles the cost of the machine, electricity, and maintenance, the facilitator must provide a security deposit based on the station category.
| Station Category | Security Deposit Amount |
|---|---|
| NSG2 Category Stations | ₹50,000 |
| NSG3 and Below Category | ₹25,000 |
How will this help the common passengers
Many passengers struggle with ATVM machines or wait in long lines at the booking window. With a dedicated facilitator at the machine, people can get their tickets faster. This system is being implemented across various zones including Northern, South Central, and Southern Railway to streamline the ticketing process nationwide.
