The Civil supplies Department was implementing a project to facilitate bank transactions through the e-POS terminals at the fair price shops spread across the state.There are 17,200 fair price shops, many of them at remote places where banks do not have their branches.
The fair price shops can be the points of Aadhaar enabled payment system, where bills can be paid online through biometrics or iris scan.This will be effective in the context of the push for digital transactions post-demonetisation.
"The project will be initiated in a month’s time, and implemented phase-wise in all FP shops by April next year.The present e-POS system is based on Linux operating system, and needs to be changed to Android,” Mr. Anand said.
The Department would be calling for tenders soon for purchase of Aadhaar-linked Android-based e-POS machines, the Commissioner Civil Supplies said.
