What this document is
The Registration Department, in proceedings Th.s.6-rsierr.6128/eft1/2019 dated 13.02.2019, issued practical instructions for using PoS terminals in registration offices. The document includes a step by step guide for card payments, daily closing procedure, and contact details for support and paper rolls.
Who it affects
This guidance is mainly for staff handling PoS machines in Sub Registrar Offices and similar registration offices. It also matters to property buyers and document presenters who pay registration related amounts by card, because failed settlement can delay credit and affect whether the terminal works the next day.
What the document requires
- Daily batch settlement must be taken at the close of office.
- Settlement is done by pressing button No. 8 and then the green button.
- The settlement slip is the summary of the day's transactions, transaction wise.
- Unless settlement is taken, the amount will not be processed by banks and the PoS vendor will not get payment.
- If settlement is not taken on the date of transaction, the next day the PoS terminal may prompt for settlement and may not permit transactions.
- The note says settlement should be completed every day before 11 PM to get credit on the next business day.
- If settlement is not taken within 5 days, card issuing banks or card issuing companies such as VISA, MASTERCARD and RUPAY will levy penalty at 0.5% of the transaction.
How the PoS terminal is to be used
- Switch on, green button long press.
- Switch off, red button long press.
- Previous charge slip, press No. 4.
- Day's transaction report, press No. 5.
- Batch settlement, press No. 8.
- Do not switch off the terminal before taking settlement.
- Keep the terminal charged to a minimum of 50% capacity.
Card payment steps mentioned
The guide says the Verifone Model VX 675 terminal can be used by selecting the sale option, then choosing Card, Bharat or Pay by Wallet. For card payments, the operator enters the sale amount including paise 00, confirms with the green button, then the card is swiped, inserted by chip, or tapped. The customer enters the PIN, the terminal processes the transaction, and a charge slip is printed.
Important caution for users
The document clearly says that if the charge slip is not printed, the receipt should not be handed over to the cardholder. It also provides toll free and email support details for assistance and paper roll supply.
