The central government has taken number of measures to provide
incentives to district administrations in order to give a boost to
cashless digital payment systems across districts, talukas and
panchayats, said an official release on Sunday.
"NITI Aayog has
enlisted a series of incentives for the communication campaign for the
district authorities and administration to promote the transition to the
cashless digital payment systems," it said.
According to the
NITI Aayog, some of the initiatives include incentives for digital
payments for day to day financial transactions like buying or selling
goods/services, and transferring money.
"NITI Aayog will provide
logistic support for outreach activities at the district, taluka and
panchayat level in form of the seed money of Rs 5 lakh per district
administration as a part of the communication campaign. The purpose is
to enhance seeding of mobile and Aadhar numbers to the bank account,
issue of Rupay cards wherever necessary, issue of PIN wherever
necessary, downloading of app wherever necessary and finally achieving
two successful transactions," said the release.
It said that the
top ten best performing districts will be awarded the Digital Payment
Champions of India award while the first 50 Panchayats, which go
cashless, will be awarded Digital Payment Award of Honour.
