The Government of Karnataka has inked pact with Tata Teleservices and MMP Mobi Wallet Systems (MMPL), the mobile payments arm of Tata Teleservices, to introduce an m-governance pilot project. MMPL will help the government in extending the mode of payments by residents beyond credit cards.
Any mobile user can register for the ‘mRupee’ prepaid wallet service where the wallet is loaded with cash at designated mRupee retail outlets and the balance used to pay for m-governance services such as bill payments. The service allows residents to pay for electricity bills, property tax, water bills, traffic challans and other citizen-related services.
