Telangana State decides to give RuPay cards to bank account holders

The state government has decided to give RuPay cards to all the bank account holders for encouraging currency-less transactions in the state. RuPay is an Indian domestic card scheme conceived and launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

The state government issued guidelines to district collectors to keep one government officer as in charge of every 100 to 200 families covering the



population of 500 to 1,000, so that the government will have personal contact with families and close coordination with banks. This is to “revolutionise cashless economy in rural areas.”

As per the action points prepared for the implementation of district collectors, which was discussed in the state Cabinet on Monday, internet connectivity in interior rural and tribal areas would be strengthened.
