Demonetisation: Rajasthan Secondary Education Board on its way to becoming cashless

The Board is contemplating going cashless for student service centres in many districts as well as other offices as well.

To help students pay their fee on time and ease their difficulties due to demonetisation, the Rajasthan Education Board will, from next week, be taking steps to digitalise their fee payment options. Most of the Board’s money dealings with students are done through online payments or cheques but they have now gone a step further to go cashless. Now, fee payments for procuring copies of documents such as transfer certificate, migration certificate as well as other documents, which were being done by cash, will be digitised.

The Board has begun digitising its cash counters. According to a news report in Hindi.pradesh18.com, the Board has collaborated with its official partner bank and prepared a scheme. In the first phase, the Board will limit its cash counters and place swipe machines there through which students will be able to pay their fee.

However, the Board is not going completely cashless just yet, but the practise of accepting digital payments will be adopted slowly through swipe machines.

The Board has made certain arrangements to digitise payments at these centres in the coming few days. For this, UPI addresses have been made ready, through which 30 terminals will be prepared.

It is also mulling over making all registration fee payments for its 2018 school level examinations completely cashless by collecting payments through the UPI method.
