Given the progress made in banking technology, it is assumed that each employee would be in possession of a Debit\/ATM card linked to his\/her bank account. Ensuring and encouraging Government Employees to maximise the usage of Debit cards for personal related transactions instead of cash would go a long way serving with the employees serving as \u2018ambassadors\u2019 for the digital push and also motivate, encourage the general public in taking-up the cause.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All Ministries\/Departments are requested to encourage their employees to make use of Debit Cards for personal related transactions instead of cash.
