To avail benefits at the railway lounge with the IDFC Select Credit Card, do I need to have made transactions of 5K in the previous month like airport lounge ?

This lounge accepts almost all cards having railway lounge access. Food quality is good but they don't provide buffet.

Yes it is accepted. I visited earlier this month and provided the QR code.
They didn't ask for ticket as long as your QR code is valid they will let you in.
