Punjab Plans Reward Scheme for Digital Payments at Restaurants

The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) is set to launch a reward scheme incentivising customers who opt for digital payments through QR codes at hotels and restaurants. The scheme promises winners a chance to claim prizes, according to a PRA spokesperson. The primary objective of this initiative is to promote digital transactions over cash payments and enhance transparency in business dealings.

The authority further plans to take legal action against establishments that refuse to accept QR code payments, and establish a monitoring system to address customer grievances. During a recent meeting, PRA Chairman Moazzam Iqbal Sipra reviewed steps to boost digital payments, directing officials to give precedence to customer complaints concerning QR code transactions.

The authority also intends to roll out an awareness campaign to encourage businesses in Punjab to embrace digital payment methods.
