Punjab govt to issue digital receipts for services

The Punjab government has started issuing fee receipts for its services on the mobile phones of applicants, saving an estimated Rs 1.3 crore spent on paper every year.

The eco-friendly initiative was launched by the Department of Governance Reforms (DGR) on Friday.

The elimination of the paper receipt system would significantly reduce the carbon footprint at ‘Sewa Kendras’ and will also contribute to a sustainable future, Punjab Governance Reforms and Public Grievances Minister Aman Arora said.
