Hi everyone.

The topic is about merit and demerits of cashless economy. It's facts that merit is far enough than demerits of cashless economy. But most of my fellow guys said that a major disadvantage of the cashless economy is that people who are illiterate and awareness.

But in my view, if we are not giving them chance to change then they will always be unaware of cashless economy. So supporting cashless economy is a chance that we are giving people to change and move toward technology.

Because it's better to do something for a change.

I feel that the cashless economy need to be implemented in India. As people cannot Carry much amount with them, where ever they go. By this online transaction are made easy, online exams are conducted, reduction in usage of paper, as only 50% of people make use of it, by the year 2020 it can be made compulsory. The demerits in it is that there are still illiterate people in India, who cannot transaction the money.

Hi everyone.

Myself Aryan.

In my point of view, the cashless economy has more benefits than disadvantages. It helps people to do a quick transfer of money to others which saves time. There is no problem of change, one can give any amount of money from 1 rupee to lakhs. This is also benefitting those who have a small business like vegetable sellers, panipuri wala and many others in keeping their money safe as they are directly adding to their bank account.

Also, this there is less probability of corruption if the government is planning some scheme for poor as they can transfer funds directly to their accounts instead of giving it to the intermediate officials.

Hello friends.

As we know that economic development is more inclined toward technology. A cashless economy is also a part thereof and has so many positive aspects as well as negative aspect.

Positive aspects:

1. Reliable and time saving for the transaction of money from one user to another user accounts.
2. Transparency at the governance and individual level ex: many government schemes or fund benefit can be directly put into the beneficiary account.
3. Control on corruption to some extent.
4. Mitigation in the environmental issue (use of paper to print money or some time metal also).
5. Availability of money transfer system for 24 * 7 hrs.
6. Increment in the Security causes decreament in the risk.

Negative aspects:

1. Many people are not aware about cashless economy so they are unable to use it.
2. Literacy is a major factor because it is the primary need to operate it.
3. Chances of failure of transaction and will take more time in refunds create unwanted annoyance in people, But it happens sometime.
4. Less probability of hacking of data.
5. Unavailability of internet connection create a barrier in cashless economy.

Hi all. Today's topic of discussion is the Merits and Demerits of cashless economy. According to my perception of view, Merits are far enough in number as compared to demerits.

Merit:

The Main advantage of the cashless economy is peoples can save their valuable time which gonna waste in the queue for transactions (in without cashless economy) Now With cashless transaction people can make it by a single click. So transactions can me made paperlessly and this paperless transaction leads to deforestation decrease which is good for our environment.

The main disadvantage of the cashless economy is people need to be educated to work with the internet which is very less in villages.

The internet connection in villages is very slow.

I think the government is not tom jack or harry. Government means many people come together and takes a decision on the particular topic. It must have been discussed well about the cashless economy. Yes, it has merit or demerit. You know every coin has two parts head or tell.

Same here people have two aspects positive or negative.

Merits.
1. People can save time.
2. There is no need to be a physical presence.
3. Work can be done easily.
4. Save time and resources.
5. It helps to keep away fraud mostly happen.

Demerit.
1. Need to be educated.
2. One should have a habit of operating it.
3. Not Strong connectivity of the internet.
4. Village people are not as smart as they should be in using mobile.

Good morning everyone.

Today is discussed on the topic CASHLESS ECONOMY:

The Cashless economy is promoted by our respected prime minister NARENDRA MODI.

1st of all, I would like to say thank.

India is one of the developed countries in the world so we should to corporate.

The cashless economy as like net banking google pay phone pe etc.

It is very useful for us because it is saved to time tree pen and paper. In a cashless economy, no any persons are black money store because if you store money or any other country transaction then your record is available so it very useful to us.

It has some demerits.
1: It is not more many securities.
2: It is not uneducated people.
3: In this process always should internet connection.
4: Password problem.
However, it is good technology.
