T-Wallet doesn’t charge for payments. Citizens can pay utility bills and taxes via the e-wallet,” said Telangana IT Minister KT Rama Rao after launching T-wallet here.
Telangana government has upgraded MeeSeva platform with fool-proof system.

“MeeSeva 2.2 version will be launched by end of 2017. Considering the current transformation towards mobile devices, the state government has decided to bring all transactions available on mobile devices.
