The District Transport Office of Hazaribagh has become the first completely cashless office of the State. Deputy Commissioner, Hazaribagh Ravishankar Shukla inaugurated the cashless system by making payment through the swipe machine.
Speaking on the occasion Shukla said that we have started the procedure to adopt cashless methods of money transaction in each and every office of the Hazaribagh and today it is a proud moment for all of us that the district transport officer and his team has put us ahead of all Government offices of the state by making it completely cashless.
District Transport Officer Pranav Kumar Paul informed that from today onwards cash will be accepted in this office only when there is no alternative available to the person wanting to deposit the requisite fee. We have started the facilities of receiving fee through RTGS, NEFT and other facilities available to a common man.
The customers can deposit the registration fee, vehicle tax, fines, driving license fee, renewable fee etc. using any option of cashless transaction. On the occasion of conversion of DTO office into a cashless office the AGM of Bank of India AP Singh, lead bank manager NK Singh and other officials of the district administration were present.
later talking with the newsmen DTO Pranav Kumar Paul said that after demonetization as per Governments order the interstate Chordaha check post was opened for the free movement of vehicles.
Since last one month the district has lost a revenue of about 4 crores due to making the check post free.
He said that same facilities of cashless transaction will soon be introduced at Chordaha also.
