Instaling PoS machines
The PoS devices make possible electronic transactions in the ration shops. As mentioned by the concerned authorities more than 80% of fair price shops have operational ePoS devices installed in them and also, more than 75% of total electronic transactions are being done through biometric authentication every month. To implement the one Nation and one ration card initiative PoS devices and machines are a must in all ration stores. So, the concerned authorities have already said that they will implement PoS devices all over the ration shops but the village and the remote area will be a challenge for them.
