In good news for citizens dining at hotels and restaurants in Punjab, the Punjab Revenue Authority has decided to launch a reward scheme to encourage digital payments.
According to the spokesperson of the Punjab Revenue Authority, under the new scheme, customers who pay their bills digitally at hotels and restaurants will be given rewards.
For this purpose, payment facility through QR code will be provided so that citizens can benefit from the modern digital system instead of cash.
The spokesperson said that the main objective of this initiative is to promote transparency in business transactions and to make the tax system more effective. The growing trend of digital payments will not only help in keeping a record of financial matters safe but is also expected to improve tax collection.
The Punjab Revenue Authority has clarified that strict legal action will be taken against those hotels and restaurants that refuse to provide payment facility through QR code to customers.
According to the spokesperson, promotion of digital payments will increase public confidence in the tax system and will help ensure transparency in business activities.
Through this reward scheme, along with attracting citizens towards digital payments, an effort is being made to connect the hotel and restaurant sector with the modern financial system.
