Its a very good initiative. Digitalizing all payments for every needs will ease the load on banks and public from waiting in long ques and being robbed from cash on their ways to banks and other area for making payments.
Its strongly recommended that POS payments system should be enforced at all commercial businesses to bring transparency in payments and taxes.
Prices of all goods should be fixed across the country (by adjusting the fuel consumed prices accordingly to the distance) with specific codes for all items and paid through the POS system this will control the prices.
But the process is very slow even takes months for renewal which is not satisfactory. When it was manual, it was very easy and fast to renew .
So please make the process faster for the ease of public.
One should have to pay huge illegal gratifications in arms section of home department for obtaining sanction/approval and for card printing separately in addition to already paid on line otherwise it will takes months and some time years
