Delhi Metro Smart Card Rules Clarified: DMRC Explains Phone Number, OTP Requirement
- •A passenger at Noida Sector-34 Metro Station was asked for a phone number and OTP to purchase a smart card, leading to confusion.
- •The staff informed the passenger that only one card could be issued per mobile number, causing the passenger to buy QR tickets for family members.
- •DMRC clarified that two types of smart cards are available: a regular DMRC metro smart card and an NCMC card.
- •The standard DMRC smart card does not require a phone number or OTP and can be purchased for multiple family members.
- •The NCMC (National Common Mobility Card) is a RuPay-enabled card linked to an account, requiring a phone number and OTP, and offers broader payment functionalities beyond metro travel.
