According to the plan, there will be three types of Rail cards - Gold, Silver and Platinum. While the silver card will be for monthly pass holders, gold cards will be issued to passengers opting for six months duration pass. Platinum card is meant for year long pass holders. 

 Banks, including SBI, ICICI, HDFC and PNB have shown keen interest in the Rail Card project and accordingly agreements will be signed,' said the official.
Nearly 75 lakh commuters use the local train services in Mumbai every day and is called the city's lifeline. Likewise, the train service is a key mode of transportation in Kolkata and Chennai as well. 

Indian Railways has already launched a mobile application for paperless unreserved tickets for local train travel. Offering Rail Card to replace monthly passes is a step further towards providing more facilities to passengers, added the official.
