KOHIMA, Nov 17 - Nagaland on Thursday became the first among the Northeastern States to launch Point of Sale (PoS) for electricity bill payment.
The PoS facility was formally launched by State Chief Secretary, Pankaj Kumar, at Kohima Electrical Sub-division-1 here.
Through the PoS, a consumer can make cashless payment of the electricity bills, which is in line with the country�s digitisation drive, said Nagaland�s Commissioner and Secretary of Power department, KD Vizo.
Lamenting that the department has been losing around Rs 150 crore annually due to non-payment of bills by consumers, Kumar appealed to the citizens to pay sincerely.
Chief Engineer of Power department, Khose Sale said that PoS services will be extended to other major cities and districts of the State. � PTI
