The Indian digital revolution brought about massive changes in the way people do simple things. Online ticket sales have increased steadily over the years, and people are always looking for a good agent to buy rail and bus tickets. No one wants to stand in line and purchase the tickets at the counter any more. This has also greatly increased the scope of business for people who want to be an IRCTC or MSRTC ticket booking agent. With as little as a computer and an internet connection, you can register as a ticket broker and make good money!

Such a business can be run out of any small home or office, and there is very little investment to think of. As an online ticketing agent, you make a percentage on every sale; and people usually prefer having a fixed broker. If you conduct your business honestly, and can help your clients with ticketing on time; it is a great way to make money with little effort. An agent needs to practice using the online interface, but that is also a rather simple matter. Ticket broking agents also have a responsibility to collect all the necessary identity information about their clients; so you would have to learn a bit about data management. If you want to start business as an MSRTC ticket booking agent, all you need to do is find the right ticketing platform and register as a licensed broker.

The best ticketing software used across India is already registered with the necessary government bodies, so there is no extra hassle of waiting for a registration. An agent simply has to put in the necessary identity papers, and wait for approval from the relevant authorities. There are a number of online payment management services used around India today, but make sure you have registered with a reputed company to avoid any complications.

As an MSRTC ticket booking agent, you would be using a common ticketing platform which also allows you to book flights, railway tickets, or hotel bookings. This improves the range and reach of your business, and considerably increases your income. Other such digital businesses include opening a micro banking unit, a utility payment service, or e-Recharge point of sale. All of these businesses only need a computer and internet connection to get started. There are several digital platforms offering their software solutions; but make sure that it is a nationally registered company, since many of these services require prior license and registration.
