CBSE avoided using demonetisation word and instead focused on the advantages of digital money. Emmanuel wrote, “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.”
The board is extending the ambit of cashless mode to areas beyond fee payment. CBSE’s letter goes on to say, “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.”
