The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) issues a notice asking affiliated schools to encourage cashless or digital payments. The board urges schools to promote wider digital payment awareness among students, parents, and staff and to use digital modes for everyday purchases and school-related services.
CBSE recommends that schools adopt multiple digital payment options for items such as fees and canteen purchases. The notice also highlights the Bharat Bill Payment System as a secure method for collecting fee payments. Across outlets, the emphasis is on expanding adoption of digital transactions while guiding schools on how to implement them.
Reporting notes that, beyond promoting digital payments, CBSE also frames the initiative around safe and responsible transactions. While all sources align on the core direction—encouraging cashless payments in affiliated schools—they differ slightly in wording, including the level of detail each outlet provides about specific payment channels and implementation practices.
