Salary payment must be paid to all state central government & also for private company officials & labours through Aadhaar enabled or PMJDY banking account . The ministry of labour enforcement & employment may kindly provide mandatory rules along with HOER/Labour Act.
This is just for social comments.

Yes this is really a good idea .
It is the duty of the each government servants to maintain income & expenditure records in banking transactions (such as total annual income as per bank credit & total expenditures of debit toesrfs payment of house rent electrical charges water charges & charity donations etc. as debit transactions )

For those who are receiving salary payment from government through bank and paying rent & other expenditures showing for income tax rebates as proof for filling IT returns it should be through banking transaction for audit verifications .
Sir kindly provide this system of banking transaction for all central /state government employees & pensioners for the purpose of filling income tax returns .
