Digital Payments Introduced at AMC Checkpoints
The government is starting to use digital payments at checkpoints where fees are collected.
This new system, using special e-pass machines, is meant to make sure all the money collected is accounted for and that there's no cheating.
It also aims to prevent money from being taken illegally.
The minister says this is a way to make things more transparent and help farmers.
The government is using technology like apps to make data collection easier.
Officials are excited about this change and believe it will increase how much money the market yards make, and stop anyone from using fake receipts or taking money they shouldn't.
Digital payment systems launched at Agricultural Market Committee (AMC) checkpoints.
The initiative aims for 100% market fee collection with transparency.
The digital payment system uses e-pass machines for transactions at market yards.
