Store Value Pass (online QR) and Singara Chennai Card

• The Store Value Pass is bought through the CMRL mobile app and works as an online QR code.
• The first purchase has a deposit of Rs 40 that is not refunded.
• Every later recharge must be at least Rs 50, and the pass can be topped up to a maximum of Rs 3,000.
• The value stays valid for 5 years from the purchase or the latest recharge, whichever is later.
• Each journey gets a 20% discount on the fare. The QR code changes every day for security.
• A bought pass cannot be cancelled and the balance cannot be refunded.
• If you enter and exit at the same station within 20 minutes, the minimum fare is cut from the pass.
• CMRL also lists a Singara Chennai Card (SBI-CMRL Metro Card) with a user manual, an application form and a replacement form on its site.
