What's New — ECRMC EFT Calculator

v3.26 Sep 2026 · latest update

🎫 PNR status: counter ticket or e-ticket, every passenger's gender & age, coach/berth and current status — straight from the railway enquiry, last 5 PNRs remembered.
📖 Rule for SS (Senior Citizen quota): the rule in plain English + Hindi inside the PNR box, with a QR the passenger can scan to open the official circular.
📦 UBL / DOG charging: unbooked luggage (free · marginal · maximum per class, 1.5× / 6×, minimum charge) and dog / puppy charges, situation-wise, with what the TTE should do. Weight can be worked out from inch measurements. Live Scale-L rates built in — works offline.
💰 POD with reservation fee: the RF is now added once in a POD split (it was missed before), and the RF tick works in POD mode too.
🚆 Classes the train runs but IRCTC sent no fare for (2A/1A from small stations) now appear, computed from CC 24/2025 and clearly marked.
🌙 NDA report in the Journal: pick a period, add a before-Dep / after-Arr allowance to every run, read the column total. Entries list now filters by month & year.
📢 Scrolling notice bar on the home page, set from the admin panel. ☰ Menu now holds PNR · UBL/DOG · TA/CTA. Install is 44% lighter.

v3.110 Aug 2026

🎯 Cleaner POD: the POD (points-on-way) fare box is now hidden by default and appears only when you tick 🎯 POD fare — just like the 1st-halt penalty option — so the main screen stays tidy.
🔎 Auto station picker: type a 5-digit train number and the route picker (pick Boarding / Destination from the train's own stops) opens by itself — no need to press 🔎 STN. Prefer to type codes yourself? Tap “✍ I'll type STN codes” and the normal From/To boxes stay as before.

v3.010 Aug 2026

📔 New — Duty / Movement Journal: record your duty movement (Date · Train · From · To · Dep · Arr) with a simple 24-hour picker (Now / SCH-time from the train schedule). Add Leave / Rest / CR / Station-duty too. It auto-computes NDA (night 22:00–06:00), handles next-day arrivals (CNTD), and shows a Summary — journeys, duty-on-wheel, away-from-HQ & rest-outside-HQ. Open it from the bold 📔 Journal link on the home page.
🧳 TA & 🧾 CTA statements: from your entries, generate a Traveling Allowance Journal (official format, %age & amount, certifications, in-words) and a CTA Journal — as PDF / Image to share on WhatsApp. Fill your Name / Designation / PF / Office once and it prints on both. (TA is on an experimental basis — verify before claiming.)
💾 Backup & ☁️ Server sync: back up everything to one file (Google Drive / WhatsApp), or — for admin-approved users — sync across mobiles. Station-code & quick-route shortcuts, entry edit, search, CSV export, and auto-cleanup of records older than 366 days.
💬 Assistant chat & menu: a floating help chat, a single ☰ Menu for HHT / CCNL / ERG / Rules / Journal, and a tool to open WhatsApp for any number without saving it.

v2.428 Jul 2026

🚆 Amrit Bharat Express — correct fare: Amrit Bharat carries its own premium non-AC fare (higher than plain Mail/Express), so the earlier computed figure was low — especially Second Class (2S). The tool now uses the official CC 24/2025 Amrit Bharat table (2S + Sleeper) so the fare matches the live/IRCTC figure. For a without-ticket case in Amrit Bharat Sleeper, the Deduction list now offers − 2S A/B (Amrit Bharat's own 2S fare) so the correct amount is credited. Admin can now also edit a user's details (Name / Post / HQ / Railway / Division).
🌉 Bridge-charge advisory: when the journey crosses a Ganga rail bridge (HJP–PPTA, HJP–DNR, BGP–KGG), the EFT now shows a reminder that a bridge charge may apply — confirm at the local level and add it manually if it does (it is not added automatically).

v2.325 Jul 2026

📲 New HHT tab: download the latest official HHT app (v2.8.7) — scan the QR or tap to install — with the HHT Helpline and TTE Lobby Helpdesk (call / WhatsApp) and quick fixes for common errors ("Device Not Allowed", "Already Logged In").
📖 New Rules Corner: a searchable list of rules; tap a rule to read it, and use Share QR to passenger so the passenger can scan and open / download the official circular on their phone.
1st-halt penalty (optional): where a zone charges the penalty as the fare to the train's first commercial halt from the boarding station, tick the option — it auto-detects the halt (or enter it) and uses that fare (no RF; superfast counted once) as the penalty.
GST corrected on deductions: deducting a non-AC ticket (SL / 2S) no longer reduces the GST — GST is the tax on the AC class itself, so it stays the same; only an AC ticket credits its own GST.
Tidier top bar: Complaint → CCNL, Earnings → ERG, and Log out is now a small 🔒 icon next to your number. The ACP report now opens from inside the Complaint page.

v2.223 Jul 2026

Pick the class for the EFT: a new Class chip row (next to the Calculate button) lets you tap SL / 2S / 3A etc. — defaults to Sleeper. The reservation fee stripped now matches the class chosen.
Correct penalty for AC: the excess charge is now the minimum fare of that class (floor ₹500), so 2A / 1A carry more than ₹500, and 5% GST is charged on the penalty for AC classes (shown on its own line).
Deduct a lower class's fare: the deduction list now offers every class the train runs whose fare is below the selected class — handy when a passenger held a cheaper ticket.
Humsafar fares exact: when a live fare can't be fetched, Humsafar now uses its own CC 24/2025 table (SL + 3A) instead of the plain Mail/Express figure.
All-class calculator upgraded: now opens by default, RF on by default (tick SF for superfast), and each class is verified against the live IRCTC fare (green = match).
Rajdhani / Shatabdi / Duronto: these run dynamic (flexi) fares — the tool now shows a clear note to consult the HHT for the applicable fare.
⛓ New ACP tool (Alarm Chain Pulling) — send a quick information report (train, coach, time, ACP period, location, reset-by-self) to Guard / Control.
Complaint tool: added Without-ID and WOT cases with a railway-dues field, and a location source choice (GPS / Cell tower / Both / None) with the accuracy shown.
Sign-in: now also asks your Railway (zone) and Division — everyone will be asked to sign in once more (existing details are filled in).

v2.122 Jul 2026

Please sign in again (one time): registration now also asks for your Name, Post and HQ along with the mobile number, so everyone will be asked to sign in once more (your number is filled in for you).
💰 Earnings summary + WhatsApp share: a new Earnings button (top bar) opens a quick sheet — fill WT / IT / NP / UBL and it auto-computes the penalty (₹500 × No, and you can edit it), the WT+IT (HP) subtotal, and the grand total, then shares a neat table on WhatsApp with your Name / Post / HQ. Optional EFT Foil no. and Remarks fields, and an optional GST switch (off by default) for cases where GST is split.
Don't know the station codes? Enter just the train number and tap 🔎 Get them from the train number — the train's full route opens, sorted by distance, and you pick the boarding and destination stations.
Unreserved trains (no reserved class): the tool now shows the ordinary second-class (passenger) fare by default, with a 2 ORD / 2 M/E switch to use the 2nd Mail/Express (2S / General) fare for trains that run as Mail/Express — both from CC 24/2025. The deduction option is hidden (not applicable), and the distance is taken from the train's route when needed.

v2.021 Jul 2026

App updates itself now: the "Add to Home Screen" app was showing the old version. It now refreshes to the latest version on its own every time you open it — no need to re-install.
Saved enquiries: a new 📋 Saved enquiries button (right of Clear saved data) lists your saved lookups. Tap any one to instantly run that same train and route again.
Only correct fares are saved: a lookup is now saved to your device only when the live fare was fetched successfully.
Removed a fallback fare source that was not always accurate. When no live fare is available for a route, only the CC 24/2025 computed figures are shown.
Long-route specials now work: for trains like 09452 BGP→GIMB / BGP→ADI where no live fare is returned, the EFT calculator now fills the fare from the CC 24/2025 table, with a clear warning to re-check with a verified source before writing on the EFT.

v1.919 Jul 2026

Faster, works offline: every train + station lookup is saved on your device. Repeating the same enquiry shows instantly — even with no internet — and the servers are not hit again.
When online, the enquiry is still counted even if the saved copy is used, so usage figures stay correct.
Added a Clear saved data button under Find KM.
