Following Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar’s announcement of making Goa the first cashless state, Goa Tourism and Goa Police introduced several initiatives to make their functioning cashless.
The previous week, Parrikar chaired a meeting of bureaucrats and bankers in the state, to work out ways to raise cashless transactions in Goa by 30 December.
Goa Police said systems were being put in place to pay traffic fines by debit or credit cards. The other police department fees would also be enabled on the online platform by January 2017. Goa Tourism said payments for hotel reservation and other tourism-related services would soon be totally done via plastic money or e-wallets.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
