The number of eligible transactions under the taxpayer incentive gift program of the government is reaching close to 11 lakh. According to the Internal Revenue Department, the total count of eligible transactions and bills has reached 10,82,622 by Monday 12 PM.
The department said that this number includes both QR code transactions and physical bills uploaded by consumers after making cash payments. Between Saun 1 and Saun 15, a total of 10,74,796 QR transactions became eligible to participate in this gift scheme.
Physical Bill Uploads and Prizes
According to Keshav Raghubanshi, the information officer of the department, many consumers are showing great interest in uploading physical bills since the service started on Saturday. Till now, about 3,427 bills of cash transactions are already entered in the system.
The department has urged consumers to upload physical bills received from cash transactions before first phase of the incentive gift is announced. Since people can enter their bills until the draw is held, the department expect the number of eligible transactions to go up even more.
