Every day, consumers interact with the Government through its various public services websites for payments related to property registration, birth, marriage & death registrations, water, state owned electricity payments, traffic police eChallan payments, booking tickets, parking, toll plazas, websites and much more.
In most of these places, the government services are yet to adopt a digital mode of payment. We have encouraged digital payment in our smart cities in a big way , yet more miles are required to be covered for adoption of Digital Payments across Smart Cities.
An insightful session on “Roadmap for enabling Digital Payments for building a Less Cash Economy Model to fight Covid-19” was organised by Smart cities Mission in association with Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) and NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India)- an umbrella organization for retail payments systems in the country to provide & facilitate safe & secure digital payments to the citizens.
