The West Bengal government is introducing a new digital parking platform for Kolkata. The app will let users book slots in advance, pay via mobile wallets or credit cards, and receive instant confirmation. It aims to reduce congestion by eliminating the need for physical ticket counters and to ease the payment process for commuters. The service will roll out across major city parking lots over the coming months.

The Kolkata municipal administration has announced a comprehensive digital overhaul of the city’s parking facilities. A new mobile application will allow residents and visitors to reserve parking spaces ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and hassle‑free experience at busy lots.

Users will be able to make cashless payments through popular digital wallets or credit cards, eliminating the need for physical ticket machines. Once a slot is booked, the app will provide instant confirmation and a QR code for entry.

The initiative, part of a broader effort to modernise city infrastructure, is expected to reduce traffic congestion and streamline parking operations across Kolkata’s key commercial and residential zones.
