Aizawl, September 1 (PTI): The Mizoram government has launched an online payment system in Transport department offices in the state, an official said on Wednesday. Mizoram Transport minister T J Lalnuntluanga launched the online payment system on Tuesday. He said the department in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and State Bank of India (SBI) introduced an online payment system which can be accessed by users anywhere and anytime to ensure ease of payment and avoid physical cash transactions at cash counters during the pandemic. "The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown caused a delay in the implementation of the project. However, it also put pressure on the department to quickly shift from physical to digital mode of payment as movement restrictions bar the public from making cash payment at the office counters", he said.
