Gurugram, Aug 13 (IANS) The Saral Kendra of Gurugram has become the first Centre in Haryana to have cashless fee payment facility, an official said on Monday.

The facility was formally inaugurated by Deputy Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh.

With this, the applicants will be able to make payments through multiple digital modes like UPI and Aadhaar Pay towards services such as acquiring, renewing a driving license as well as getting vehicles registered in Gurugram.
