MCD to Pilot Cashless, Server-Linked Parking Fee Collection at Five Sites
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) plans to pilot a cashless, technology-driven parking fee collection system at five sites, partnering with a multinational bank. The system will use MCD-provided point-of-sale machines linked to a central server to automatically calculate charges at Rs 20 per hour and generate digital receipts, aiming to prevent overcharging and increase transparency. If successful, the initiative will expand to all MCD-managed parking areas across Delhi, introducing a 'No Parking Slip, No Payment' policy for motorists.
