Speaking to media persons after the launching session, Biren said the introduction of the e-Kuber payment system in all the treasuries and sub-treasuries of the State will fully replace the existing payment system for the purpose of government payments.
Under this system, there will be no role of banks in government payments and RBI will act as the sole agency bank.
All government transactions for payment will be directly with RBI without any intermediary bank, he added.
It may be mentioned that the e-Kuber payment system was started on a pilot basis by the State Government at Imphal East Treasury from January 6 last.
