which will be launched by Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC), in the first week of February will be allotted to at least 5 lakh eligible citizens. They can use it to purchase commodities from private outlets and also pay the dues to civic utilities.
SMC is perhaps the first local body in the country, which is launching a multi-purpose money card jointly with the ICICI Bank. The design of the card was finalized in the last few days. “The reason behind our launching Surat Money Card is that we believe in one city one card concept. This card will meet the requirements of a citizen having it,” smart city project special commissioner M Nagrajan said.
