Goa: Warning note from BJP leader

Goa BJP secretary Sadanand Tanawade on Tuesday said that the Laxmikant Parsekar-led government must not impose cashless transactions on commercial establishments.

He was referring to the commercial tax department’s recent circular urging commercial establishments to introduce cashless payment systems within 10 days. “The deadline is not necessary. Else, the officers (commercial tax department) will harass traders who have not switched over to the new system,” Tanawade said.

He, however, lauded the central government for the demonetisation move.
