Subject: Promotion of cashless transactions in the CBSE affiliated schools

The benefits of cashless transactions are enormous and the CBSE has introduced e-payment facilities for collection of fee for examination, affiliation and various activities including payments to its examination functionaries. The Board has been directing its affiliated schools to disburse salary to staff through bank transfers. Further, with a view to reduce cash transactions at school, all CBSE affiliated schools shall introduce fee collection from students only online or through non-cash mode from the next quarter commencing from January, 2017 onwards.

The schools should also make all payments for availing various services, procurements, wages to contractual workers and other transactions etc in non-cash mode. Further, schools may interact with the parents during the Parent Teachers Meeting to spread awareness about the benefits of non-cash transactions and motivate students of senior classes to undertake promotional initiatives in their neighbourhood to promote cashless transactions among common people.

Schools may organize various programmes like workshops, seminars, competitions such as essay writing, slogan writing, elocution etc. to create awareness and to inculcate the habit of adopting cash less payments in day to day life
