Benefits

In nearby future, Contact Less Smart Cards used by Delhi Metro commuters could automatically get recharged at AFC (Automatic Fare Collection) gates.

For this purpose, DMRC is procuring the AFC gates with new technologies which will have the capacity of automatic top up of smart cards through the bank accounts of card holders (electronic clearance system (ECS).

By availing this facility, when the balance of a smart card goes down to the pre defined value or the minimum amount, the specific AFC gates will add pre defined amount into the card automatically.

Later on, the deducted amount will be collected from the card holder’s bank account by the Metro fare collection system.

This system will not only reduce cash transactions at the ticket counters but also help the commuters to avoid long queues for the recharge of their cards.
