Tripura HC mulls for digital transaction


The Tripura High Court, for the time in the country, intends to initiate the process of cashless transaction in a digital mode for payment of court fees and others.

In an interactive meeting held at the High Court Lobby on Friday, the Chief Justice Amarnath Goud shared the idea with stakeholders, lawyers, bank officials and staff of the High Court. The Chief Justice was accompanied by Justice Arindam Lodh.

With the launch of the digital transaction, the lawyers and their clerks can make payment of court fees and others using a unique security card solely issued by the UCO Bank, High Court Branch, which is one of the stakeholders of the proposed plan.

On receiving the payment, a print-out receipt containing details of the transaction will be given to the payee on spot.

The necessity of such cards has risen due to shortage of small denominations both for the payee and the payer.

The initiative will be first implemented in the High Court and will soon be followed in all other courts in the state.
