PCMC Goes Cashless: POS Machines Introduced In 10 Major Gardens Across Pimpri-Chinchwad | Sourced

In a major step towards promoting cashless transactions and enhancing transparency, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) Garden Department has introduced 13 Point-of-Sale (POS) machines across 10 popular gardens and facilities in the city.

This is the first time POS machines have been installed in PCMC gardens. Until now, only cash was accepted for entry fees. With the new system, visitors can make payments using POS machines, which generate a dynamic QR code for each transaction, ensuring every payment is traceable and accounted for.

Speaking about the initiative, PCMC Commissioner Shekhar Singh said, "The introduction of POS machines in our gardens marks an important milestone towards building a more transparent and accountable system. Every transaction will now leave a digital footprint, bringing greater trust and convenience for our citizens."

Assistant Commissioner (Garden Department) Umesh Dhakane added, "The move to a cashless, POS-based system will not only streamline operations but also help us monitor and audit garden entry transactions more effectively. It is a big leap in the modernisation of our facilities."

The POS machines have been deployed at the following locations:

- Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Udyan (2 machines)

- Rajmata Jijau Udyan (Dinosaur Garden) (2 machines)

- Durgadevi Udyan (1 machine)

- Veer Savarkar Udyan (1 machine)

- Bird Valley Udyan (1 machine)

- Dnyanjyoti Savitribai Phule Udyan (1 machine)

- Bhosari Sahal Kendra (1 machine)

- Thergaon Boat Club (1 machine)

- Gulab Pushp Udyan – Office (1 machine), Nehrunagar (1 machine)

- Central Nursery (1 machine)
